Mid-Autumn Festival, osmanthus fragrance. On the afternoon of September 17, 2008, entrusted by wuqing district Federation of Literary and Art Circles, I drove to the district teaching and research office to interview a "teacher painter" engaged in art education-Zhang Yingming.
Perseverance and Danqingyuan
Born in Zhao County, Hebei Province,1June 1963 1963 was born in a farmer's family by the Yun Bei River in Wuqing, Tianjin. He has been gifted since he was a child and likes painting. When I was in primary school, Xiao Yingming was deeply attracted by a picture of a magpie boasting plum blossoms by teacher Li Zengbin in class. A pair of small round eyes stared at the magpie and plum blossoms in the painting with great interest, and they could not bear to leave for a long time. ...
It is this painting that sowed the seeds of art to Xiao Yingming's immature land. In his young mind, there is a vague desire to be a "painter" when he grows up. In the early 1970s, rural areas in China were quite poor, and ordinary farmers had no economic income, and Xiao Yingming's family was no exception. At that time, he often used branches, pencils or chalk for inspiring "sketching". His "works" are displayed on the ground, walls and doors, and the flowers and plants in his yard are the objects he copied when he was young. There is no money at home to buy children paper, colors and pens for painting. School teachers often take students to play reeds to sell money in exchange for paper, colors and pens for children to draw. In primary school, Xiao Yingming often painted posters for classes, which often won the envy of classmates and the appreciation of teachers and principals. He studied hard and made progress. In the village, every New Year, he writes Spring Festival couplets and paints statues for the villagers. His new year picture "Immortality" and his works imitating characters in ancient stories such as A Dream of Red Mansions, Three Kingdoms, The Journey to the West and Water Margin have greatly surprised and praised the neighbors and won the love of blind date. People compete with each other, demand each other and praise each other: "This child wants to be a painter when he grows up." The praise of the villagers also made Xiao Yingming more and more motivated.
At that time, when I came home from school, Yingming plunged into the room to draw. My mother asked me to work or eat, and I couldn't hear her. I was so angry that my mother shouted, "You can't eat any more. What are you drawing? " Sometimes when the power goes out, I just light an oil lamp and continue painting. At this time, although Zhang Yingming's life was full of hardships, he was completely immersed in the joy of painting.
1977, during the summer vacation of grade one, Zhang Yingming attended the children's art training class held by the county cultural palace. This is his first time to participate in systematic training. Under the careful guidance of Wang Shaotang, an art teacher, Yingming accepted systematic study and training in sketching, sketching, copying and sketching. Through study, his "Who is the cutest person" won the municipal merit award.
When he graduated from junior high school, Zhang Yingming met the first difficult choice in his life: whether to go to high school or to the Academy of Fine Arts in the future? Or take an art school and go to work after graduation? Yingming walks five times at home. Although he is the youngest, he is very sensible. Because there are many children in Yingming's family, the family is very embarrassed. In order to reduce the financial burden of his family, he wanted to study art and solve the problem of eating, so he chose normal school. 1August, 980, he was admitted to the fine arts major of Tianjin Normal University with excellent results. After entering the normal school, he studied eagerly, often stayed up late, and reluctantly left the classroom until the old man at the door drove him away many times. In order to learn painting, Zhang Yingming even saved all the living allowance and replaced it with painting materials. Therefore, Zhang Yuming, a special-grade teacher who teaches fine arts, is highly valued, which provides more convenience for him to learn painting. Teachers' trust, encouragement, care and support always inspire wise people to study painting hard. After three years of hard work, professional courses will always be the first. The teacher spoke highly of the graduation work "Milking Goat Milk": "The life is full of flavor, the national color is strong, the shape is unique and the foundation is solid".
The teacher's comments and praises on the exercises made Zhang Yingming full of passion and excitement, and his passion and persistence made him more fascinated by the art of painting.
Dan Xin is in Tao Fangli.
1September, 1983, graduated from Zhang Yingming technical secondary school and was assigned to teach fine arts in Yangcun No.4 Primary School. At that time, Yingming, who was only in his twenties, was still a teacher. His artistic interest is intense, passionate and full of lofty sentiments. His motto is: "The gardener does not hesitate to plant seedlings and turn them into spring mud to protect flowers."
He hands-on taught students some basic skills of using a pen and coloring, so that each student could gain something in the knowledge and practice of painting and calligraphy in each class. He teaches students in accordance with their aptitude and takes special care of some students with artistic expertise. Buy paper, pens and pigments, let Yang Jinli students from poor families join the art group, patiently concentrate on counseling and training, organize students to visit art exhibitions, and participate in national and municipal exhibitions and competitions of children's works. Where there is a will, there is a way. Mei Feng's work Red, Green and Yellow, which reflects traffic safety, won the first prize at the municipal level. Yang Jinli's works also won prizes and were received by city leaders. Twenty years later, Yang Jinli returned to her alma mater after finishing her postdoctoral studies in the United States and asked her who impressed her most about her alma mater. She blurted out, "What impressed me most was the art teacher and the counselor of a few teams." . In the early 1990s, the leaders of the county education bureau discovered his talent for painting, so they transferred Zhang Yingming to the county teaching and research section to take charge of the fine arts teaching in primary and secondary schools in the county.
Art is an emotion. The tireless pursuit of art, the deep devotion to art teaching, and the common sense of life and fame and fortune not only brought the works of art that Yingming worked so hard to condense, but also brought his painstaking education career.
Zhang Yingming's father used to be a deputy county magistrate. He had several opportunities to get good jobs in the government and judicial departments, but he gave up these opportunities because of his love and obsession with art teaching and painting. For more than 20 years, I have been working hard and persistently on the three-foot platform of art teaching, nurturing peaches and plums.
Zhang Yingming devoted himself to art teaching and research, and at the same time carefully trained art education talents. Four teachers, including Yu Yang and Diao Yuxiong, won the first, second and third prizes for the evaluation of teaching cases and teaching narratives in Tianjin through the teaching and research mode of "problem-discussion-practice-reflection-summary". Cui Yuehua and Chen Wei won the first prize of Tianjin Shuangyou Curriculum Evaluation, and Yingming won the Guidance Award; Meng Chunyan and other six young teachers won the first prize in the second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth primary and secondary schools in Tianjin, and Yan Rui won the third prize in the fourth national primary and secondary school art class appraisal.
Hit floor theoretical articles such as "Paying attention to innovative design and optimizing teaching process" written by him won the second prize of the ninth teaching and research reform achievement of Tianjin primary and secondary schools, and were published in the collection of the ninth teaching and research reform achievement of Tianjin primary and secondary schools; "Building a new evaluation mechanism to promote students' development" won the first prize in the paper appraisal of the 9th annual meeting of Tianjin Primary and Secondary School Art Teaching Professional Committee and the third prize in the annual meeting of China Education Association 17. "Excavating the cultural resources of the Canal and giving full play to the function of art education" won the first prize of the 11th achievements of teaching and research reform in Tianjin primary and secondary schools, and was published in the 4th issue of Tianjin Teaching and Research in 2007.
2006-20 1 1 Using local characteristic resources, edited by Yingming, five art textbooks of our school were jointly compiled, such as Talking about the Canal, Watching the Canal, Painting the Canal, Weaving Ideal, Flying the Future and Hometown of Ink Painting, which were well received by district leaders and municipal experts.
Over the past 20 years, Zhang Yingming has trained more than 1000 students and 100 backbone art teachers. Some of them have been admitted to art colleges in provinces, cities and the whole country, and many of them are engaged in art teaching or painting and calligraphy, and they are glowing in their respective jobs.
Because of Zhang Yingming's outstanding contribution to fine arts teaching, he was rated as an excellent teaching researcher by Tianjin Education Commission 65438-0998, and was also awarded the title of honorary teaching researcher by the Municipal Teaching and Research Section. 200 1, and was rated as an advanced worker by Tianjin Education Association in 2003. In 2005, he was rated as an advanced individual in wuqing district's curriculum reform experiment; Won the Tianjin Double Excellent Course Tutor Award for six consecutive years; I got a high honor. In 2008, he was awarded as an advanced individual in the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" scientific research project "Development and Utilization of Local Cultural Resources" of China Education Society.
Therefore, he deserves to be called "excellent soul engineer of art education".
Ink and wash write plain heart vertically and horizontally
Zhang Yingming studied oil painting at school, and later turned to landscape painting. He believes that landscape painting can be lyrical and integrated with scenery. However, "what you get from paper is shallow", and it is the only way for landscape painters to keep an eye on the sky, a heart on the sky and a mind on the world. In order to create paintings, he and his fellow travelers arrange trips every year, indulge their thoughts in distant and vast places, "search for Qifeng paintings" and look for creative inspiration in sketching. He went to Taihang Mountain in five days and to Shanxi Loess Plateau in six days, wading through mountains and rivers and sketching at his own expense. Over the years, the cost of going out to sketch has reached more than 10 thousand yuan. I have traveled all over the mountains and rivers of the motherland, and realized the artistic conception of Mount Tai, Huangshan and Taihang Mountain, which is dangerous, strange, beautiful, secluded and broad, and realized the wildness and roughness of the Loess Plateau. Collected a large number of creative materials and accumulated more than 10,000 sketches and photos, which laid a solid foundation for landscape painting creation.
Especially the Loess Plateau, is a very vast and exciting place. When Wise arrived there, a sense of history was boundless, which made people feel scared in the mountains and rivers. In this place, Yingming got the beauty of mountains and rivers, broad, boundless, astringent, empty and firm.
What's more, there are Taihang Mountain, the "roof of North China" on the land of China, the strange mountains and strange waters in the four seasons, the bird and the tree are still a stone. In this mountain, there is an indescribable practical harmony, which makes him feel that the nature in the nature of heaven and earth is actually an "epoch-making picture". As early as the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, the great painter Hao Jing lived in seclusion in the Red Valley of Taihang Mountain, and completed an important theoretical work in the history of China's landscape painting and calligraphy development. Hao Jing painted Taihang and wrote Taihang, creating the northern landscape painting school. Wise attaches great importance to tradition as the basis of self-development, and he has obsessively studied Hao Jing's painting style and theory.

Zhang Yingming, a teacher painter who specializes in landscape painting, sees, hears and thinks only landscapes, and is a "painting idiot" who is obsessed with painting landscapes.
He grasped the rope of artistic life and struggled to climb. In his later years, he humbly sought advice from famous teachers. Zhang Yuming, a Tianjin art teacher, Xin Fumao, a painter, and Liu Bingsen, a late famous painter. Under the influence of famous teachers' words and deeds, they constantly absorb the strengths of others and improve their painting skills. At the same time, I don't forget to recharge my spare-time self-study and constantly improve my cultural level. He studied in the Education Department of Tianjin Normal University and Beijing Normal University successively and obtained junior college and undergraduate diplomas.
In order to find his own pen and ink language, he painstakingly copied the famous works of past dynasties and absorbed himself in understanding the true meaning of art. I persistently studied and analyzed the traditional pen and ink techniques and appreciated the classic pen and ink styles, such as Hao Jing's Kuanglutu, Fan Kuan's Journey to the West Mountain, Ju Ran's Asking for Autumn Mountain and Li Tang's Picture of Wanhe and Song Feng. It takes ten and a half days to study Huang and Li Keran's artistic thoughts, composition and pen and ink characteristics. It is these essential basic skills that make him feel the charm of classics over and over again and realize the wonder of brushwork. His landscape painting style is full of vigor, vitality, natural temper and dignity among many excellent works of landscape painting.
"Deep Courtyard" describes the spring of the farmhouse on the loess high slope. With the help of the artistic conception of Ouyang Xiu's ci "How Deep is the Courtyard" in the Northern Song Dynasty, the picture uses the contrast of ink and color, clarity and turbidity, brightness and darkness, and intention and unintentional, so that the "green" of the close-range tree is in sharp contrast with the "gray" of the background cave doors, windows and walls, which increases the sense of tranquility and spirituality of the picture and conveys a fresh, simple and comfortable harmonious beauty. The villa's Qingyun, dreamy distant mountains, green shadows, poetic caves and ... all show the beauty and charm of the villa. Read out the characters, and the villas surrounded by white clouds and green trees are naturally leisurely and elegant.
Zhang Yingming is famous for his landscape paintings. In 2006, the district TV station made a personal special report on his artistic achievements with "Love Mountains and Rivers, Love Painting". The District Education Bureau also recommended him as the first faculty artist candidate in Tianjin.
Facing the wisdom of success, he never stops. Although he has reached middle age, he still strives for perfection. Creating the beauty of Chinese painting, like depicting a wonderful life, requires courage, persistence, aura and endless tempering. Wise is such a person, in fact-painting people.
People are more picturesque when they are painted as they are. In my opinion, Mr. Zhang Yingming is a painter from a dream. He can make people return to nature and release emotions in his pictures. He combined the relationship between heaven, earth and human beings perfectly, and integrated them in the quiet nature and heavy emotions. His works have a unique beauty in the blend of green mountains and green waters.
The ancients said, "Heaven and earth are my teachers". We look forward to the wise teacher's landscape painting, absorbing the exquisite beauty of China, showing the infinite inspiration from the beautiful canal, and making more brilliant achievements in the art world with his persistence and efforts!
