新加坡视觉艺术中心展览

在新加坡有这样一群画家,他们有的是新加坡水彩画会和现代画会的专业画家;
有的是业余画家,业余画家们的职业有大专学府的讲师、专业设计师、有医院的医生和护士长等,不分种族、不分宗教,他们凭着对艺术的热忱追求,他们聚在一起,他们不拘画派画风、穿梭于钢筋水泥的城市森林,寻找仅存的碧瓦朱檐、老街陋巷、乡野渔村、历史古迹。
画家们每个星期二和星期四在指定地点集合开始写生,他们时而穿梭牛车水、时而停留小印度、时而远赴樟宜村,每个画家自带工具选定写生对象就开始画。有的画油画;有的画水彩或丙烯,以不同媒介做画。每次聚在一起的画家有20人左右。他们这项自发的活动已经坚持5年之久。他们一起画画,相互切磋、相互学习、他们的写生团队吸引了志同道合之士,好多画家加入他们的写生队伍,现在已发展到40多人。有时画家们自费去马来西亚泰国等地写生,西马距离吉隆坡90公里左右的小镇适耕庄就是他们非常喜欢的写生基地,那里风景优美,一边是渔村一边是稻田,可谓美丽的鱼米之乡,他们在那里画出了非常精美生动的作品。还有距离吉隆坡5公里左右的击胆岛都是画家们常去的地方,这次画展是由新加坡专业画家邱泽铭倡导画家们支持,把他们满意的作品呈现给新加坡的艺术爱好者。

Academy Drawing Traditions

The academy drawing and sketching tradition, rooted in centuries of artistic practice, emphasizes disciplined study of form, proportion, and technique. Originating from Renaissance workshops and formalized by institutions like the Royal Academy, it prioritizes meticulous observation and mastery of fundamental skills. Students progress from basic exercises to complex compositions, learning to depict still life and common objects with precision and expression. This tradition values both classical principles and innovation, encouraging artists to push boundaries while maintaining a deep respect for tradition. Through rigorous training and critique, artists within this tradition cultivate a strong foundation for creative exploration and artistic excellence.
