I Became A Renowned Genius At My Arts High School - Chapter 149

Episode 149 Startup(2)
“Our professor is a bit boring.”
“therefore. He’s the type that makes your blood dry. Wow, I knew right away why the assistant stopped me.”
“Did you see the kids’ expressions? “Everyone was mesmerized?”
After the class, which left a strong scent that put the word ‘warm-up’ to shame, Cha Yun-hee, Park Seon-hwa, and Oh Yu-na shook their heads and shared their reviews of the class.
“Is this right? “Is it okay to keep going like this?”
“I thought it would be much easier than last year’s animation advertising class, right? At that time, we had to draw hundreds of pictures, but a picture book would only have around 20 pages at most. But I don’t think it’s worth judging by numbers.”
“uh. It’s a very intense atmosphere. I guarantee it. “After today’s class, there will be a lot of students revising their course registration.”
“No, but wasn’t there something like this in class last semester? “The entire class was full of beautiful stories, so why only Sparta here?”
It was surprising. The questionnaire started with five questions, then ended with ten questions, then twenty questions, then thirty questions, and finally fifty questions.
“But I guess I was too naive.”
Oyuna shook her head with a slightly annoyed face.
“what?”
“lets think. If the questions we wrote down are 5+10+20+30+50, there are 115 per person. But how many students were there?”
“well? “Is there about 30 people?”
“Can the professor check each and every one of the more than 3,000 answers?”
“uh?”
The kids blinked at Oh Yuna’s plausible point.
“Even if it was written in a slightly similar way, it would have been difficult to confirm, but I was completely overwhelmed by the momentum. Wow, isn’t this a bit unfair?”
Since Oh Yu-na is someone who is rarely influenced by the opponent’s energy, he seemed quite upset by Kwon In-ho’s style of teaching methods. however.
“Even if you are foolish, you must be honest and your skills will improve. Even though I was nervous, I gained something thanks to it.”
Su-hyeon said that she actually liked that and expressed her impressions of the class with a flushed face.
“Get it? what?”
“Thanks to you, I learned about the painting, the author, and the story on my own.”
“huh?”
The kids responded that they didn’t know yet, but Suhyun definitely felt it. And I was impressed.
‘As expected, it’s Professor Kwon In-ho.’
Extracting 115 questions from one picture.
On the surface, it may have seemed like a somewhat eccentric class that pushed the students, but as they pondered and drew out questions, the students came to look at the picture book from the author’s perspective.
Why did you create this character, why did you choose this composition and color, why were the lines this thick, and why were the emotions expressed in this form?
I was able to look back on even the smallest details by following the points that the author must have constantly worried about from conception to completion of the picture book.
And through the class, students who will now create their own picture books will naturally learn how to approach everything from conception to production.
“You said that starting next week, you will each be preparing for the books you will make. If I had just told them to make books one by one, it would have been very vague. But by practicing asking questions, I learned how to plan and plan.”
“hmm. is it.”
“Eight. I don’t know. Anyway, it doesn’t feel good. “This is going to be a very time-consuming class.”
“Time is something I put aside from the moment I came to art school.”
The kids, who were laughing helplessly, looked at each other pitifully and said hello.
“Let’s survive anyway.”
“Okay, good luck this semester too.”
After parting ways with the kids, Suhyun turned around and headed to the cafe Art Nouveau in front of the school.
It was a rare place that was both a cafe and a bookstore, so it was famous among students, but it was still difficult to get in and out of.
Not only the price of coffee but also the price of books were exorbitant. But of course, the reason Soohyun came here was not because she was curious about the taste of coffee that costs over 8,000 won per cup.
‘The first floor was a bookstore.’
The purpose was to look around the bookstore inside the cafe that only sells art applications.
In front of Baekhyun University, home to Korea’s best art school, there has long been a bookstore that handles art-related books.
They bought and sold rare books, art magazines, and old used books that were not distributed in regular bookstores, but the reason I skipped those places and went to Art Nouveau was because it was the place that handled the most new books.
Here, the book that Soohyun suddenly remembered after class today might be there.
Sigh-.
Su-hyeon, who first looked at the book on display, nodded.
‘As expected, it’s correct.’
I saw a few books that Su-hyeon knew from the past.
These books were expensive, but the quantity that came into the country was so small that I couldn’t even think of buying them.
At the time, Su-hyeon would often glance over her shoulder a few times to see wealthy kids buying it.
chuck.
Su-hyeon began to pack some of the books she had harbored resentment for without realizing it. Then he approached the central display stand and began a full-fledged search.
There were magazines containing the latest trends in design, works from overseas galleries and exhibitions, and interviews with artists. There were also books by famous artists with commentary on their works and techniques.
‘Shall I take this too?’
My original goal was an illustration book called Blossom with a purple hardcover, but after looking at other books, I became greedy. Could it be that the lack accumulated during the times when I couldn’t achieve anything, even though I desperately wanted to, acted as a compensation mentality?
‘Well, it’s all data that becomes blood and flesh.’
Suhyeon nodded and selected a few more books.
Most of them were tightly wrapped in thick plastic, making it impossible to open the contents, but there was no reason to hesitate because famous magazines were trustworthy just because of their name.
The same goes for collections of works by familiar authors. As I was gradually increasing my luggage, the illustration book I was looking for, Blossom, also caught my eye.
“and. “It really was there.”
Suhyun was surprised and smiled brightly.
The first edition of Blossom was in the fall of 1998, so it was a really hot new book at the time.
Blossom, a book introducing the works of famous European illustrators.
The moment Su-hyeon saw the exotic-colored illustrations prepared by Professor In-ho Kwon in today’s collection class, this book immediately came to mind.
The domestic picture book field was not yet diverse.
The perception was that it was a book for children, but it was different overseas. Picture books targeting various ages and classes were actively published, and the response was also enthusiastic.
So, Soohyun thought that she would like to prepare for a class on complete works by studying more picture books from other contemporary markets.
To explore deeply and see a lot. It’s a study that helps everyone in their work.
Additionally, I had some questions.
Among overseas picture book writers, there were many who were active in various fields such as painting, animation, and installation art.
Su-hyeon had also been thinking about and experiencing the expandability and possibilities of art upon entering Baekhyundai University, so she thought that this class would also be able to branch out into her future work rather than just passing it off once.
So, I wanted to know how the artists who came before me worked, and unless I met them in person, books like this were the most reliable and concrete material for me at the moment.
“I guess that’s enough for today.”
Suhyun tilted her head as she placed the Blossom book on top of the books she had selected first.
“Can I lift it…?” … ?”
All of the original books, excluding magazines, were thick and heavy.
Art books were made of high-quality paper to express the pictures as close to the real thing as possible, so they weighed more than regular type books, so I chose 12 books without fear.
I began to have an internal conflict about whether I could carry them all home, which took about 10 minutes even at a brisk walk, and whether I should keep some books at the next opportunity.
‘no.’
But Su-hyeon shook her head and bravely moved the books to the counter.
When I looked around the bookstore, most books were out of stock.
That meant that if I put it off until the next opportunity, there was a high possibility of missing the opportunity to live forever, and I decided that since it caught my eye, it would be right to take it at any cost.
“Wow, you have a good eye for customers.”
Then, a middle-aged man came to the counter after spotting Su-hyeon, looked at each of the books on the counter, and spoke to her.
“I choose only good books. Haha, of course, all the books here are good.”
A face full of pride.
Su-hyeon thought that this person was the owner of Cafe Art Nouveau. and.
“There are a lot of illustration-related books. Do you mind if I recommend one?”
The man seemed to have a knack for sales and offered to recommend a book to Su-hyeon.
“What is it?”
“Let’s stay still, just for a moment.”
The man hurried outside, grabbed a ladder, put his chin on the bookshelf, and waddled up.
And a book was taken out from the corner of the top compartment.
“… … ?”
Suhyeon blinked without realizing it. Like other books, this book was wrapped in plastic so I couldn’t open it, and the cover was bare so I couldn’t guess the contents at all.
It was just a cover made of black velvet-like material with a few lines of curly gold writing written on it.
“It’s a German book. “It’s a collection of works by a German writer named Michael Menden, and it’s very unique.”
But the man looked at the book he took out from the corner with precious eyes, as if it were a treasure.
“ah. “Germany.”
“You won’t regret it. Above all, this is not an officially published book, so it is difficult to obtain.”
“It wasn’t officially published?”
“I heard that the author published a few volumes at his own expense because he kept getting rejected for publication. “I came across it by chance when I went to a German fair, and I bought two copies. I kept one at home and one at the bookstore.”
As expected, the man clearly seemed to be the president of Art Nouveau.
“If you don’t like it, I will specially offer you a refund. “As long as you bring it in without damage within three days.”
Su-hyeon was curious about how active the business was, and eventually nodded when he was told that he would be responsible for refunding any books that were messed up.
“Then give me this too.”
***
Because I brought a fairly large bag, I was able to carry most of it in my backpack, but I had to carry five books in both hands.
“Oh, my hands are shaking.”
After returning home and safely putting down the books, Su-hyeon massaged her trembling arms and shook her head.
I didn’t think I would do it again, but I felt very proud to have the book I wanted to read come into the studio.
“Let’s take a look at it slowly.”
Soohyun peeled off the plastic wrappings that tightly wrapped the books, one by one, and placed them on the bookshelf.
I opened the Blossom book I was most curious about first.
And again a week later.
“Today, we are going to take a class to awaken the senses in earnest.”
This time, Professor Kwon In-ho pointed to the large drawing box placed in a corner of the classroom.
“Now, there are several objects in here. You put your hand in here, pick one up, and before you take it out, you tell them what you imagine that object is like. Then, after checking what you took out, take it and return to your seat. “Then, who will be brave enough to step forward first?”
Just like last time, the children’s pupils were greatly shaken by the unpredictable class.
“What’s in it?”
“Hey, hey. When you say objects, does that include living things? No? “Is it true that it just contains objects, like an object bag?”
“of course. “I wonder if there was a snake released there?”
“ha. Still, I feel uncomfortable. “That’s because I don’t trust what the professor put in there.”
Surprisingly, most of the students who were mentally shaken after submitting 115 questionnaires did not withdraw their registration and attended the second class.
However, was the choice really the right one? He was hesitating, doubting his decision once again.
What is in the lottery box, and what is Professor Kwon In-ho trying to do with it?
It was right then.
“I will try it first.”
Suhyun raised her hand and volunteered.
For a week, Su-hyeon, who stayed up all night studying various illustration works due to the interest she developed in this class, was anxious.
I wanted to quickly slow down and quickly draw the stories that were filling my heart.
