My art is too advanced.

Chapter 349 A Diverse Range of Research Directions! (Seeking Monthly Tickets!!!)
the next day.

Zhou Yue went directly to the Academy of Fine Arts for a trial class.

The room was still packed with people. He taught art history and basic drawing, for a total of two classes.

But after two classes, no one wanted to leave. Even the teachers and professors looked at him expectantly, wanting him to talk a little more.

Professor Huo chimed in, "Professor Zhou's class was truly captivating."

"I never imagined that Professor Zhou could make art history so fascinating, and it's not just about art history anymore. Just looking at a blackboard full of artworks is enough to make Professor Zhou stand out in this field."

His paintings were already full, so these were all easy for him to do. However, this is different from architecture. Architecture can be done with academic papers, but art is a matter of opinion, and you need someone to introduce you to it.

Without an introduction, I might just blend into the crowd.

Even if you explain these artistic things very well, it may not be of any use, since this industry needs to be put into practice on paper.

For example, in industrial art, you need to create the corresponding designs.

For example, with things like sketching, you have to draw a picture, but although there are almost specific evaluation criteria for drawing such things, it still involves some sensory conditions.

For example, if someone really likes a painting, then even if it's painted a little ugly, no one will say much.

Therefore, art is still somewhat ambiguous, and fixed standards simply cannot constrain those at the very top.

If you want to gain recognition, you definitely have to put it into writing.

Therefore, with the full support of Gao Yingjie and Professor Huo, I was able to go further and further on the path of painting, because both of them are formally trained and have a high enough status in the art circle.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been possible to determine in just a few words that he would come to teach at the art academy.

The blackboard full of drawings are basically his depictions of things from art history.

He doesn't really like using PowerPoint, but there are some things he can't avoid doing, otherwise students won't be able to learn about the industry.

Painting still needs to be put into practice on the canvas.

So it's nothing.

The blackboard was almost entirely covered with artistic outlines. Of course, he didn't draw the complete picture, only the outline. This kind of seemingly unrelated yet distinctive painting still attracted a lot of attention.

They all studied art history, but Zhou Yue's lectures, for example, take a style from its inception and then directly discuss its subsequent development.

He was able to explain the entire stylistic framework in detail, which made the audience listen with great interest.

Moreover, art is definitely a lot of fun, such as painting, or more detailed things, such as the use of light and shadow, or the use of color.

The changes in light and shadow are something almost everyone is trying to figure out.

Because these are some of the most basic elements in painting, connecting elements of light and shadow. For example, initially, this period only used variations in natural light, but after evolution, simple colors were used to express light and shadow, and eventually, large areas of blank space were used to represent them.

These are the most basic elements of painting, but when placed in the context of history, they become imbued with a profound sense of weight.

Therefore, this kind of class sounds more interesting.

Even Gao Yingjie was slightly lost in thought.

"It's a pity that I'm already a junior this year. Otherwise, I could really wait until Professor Zhou gets his art professorship and then come here to study for my master's degree."

Zhou Yue was speechless. This praise was a bit much. Gao Yingjie's talent was highly valued anywhere, both domestically and internationally, and he could basically choose any mentor he wanted.

In other words, a person of this caliber can basically shine brightly in the field of painting in this century.

Professor Huo, being of a certain caliber, could basically finalize the matter, but he still consulted with the people around him.

"What do you think?"

He was a refined-looking middle-aged man, who nodded and said, "I think Professor Zhou's lecture was very good. But does Professor Zhou really have so much time to teach at the art academy?"

He had indeed met Zhou Yue.

It was when he went to a meeting in Jingzhou that he saw Zhou Yue in the list of invitees from afar.

I am here on behalf of Ningxia University to give a report.

Ningda University.

That's one of the top universities in the country. He wasn't quite sure what Professor Zhou's exact position was there, but the fact that he represented the entire university, not just the architecture school, proved that Professor Zhou's academic influence and the projects he had undertaken had been fully recognized by the higher authorities.

Moreover, even Ningbo University is no worse than their China Academy of Art.

Even in terms of university rankings and academic standing, it far surpasses them.

Of course, if we only consider the art industry, they are undoubtedly the leaders.

But that's just how things are these days; even top art academies don't have a very high status.

He was wondering if Teacher Zhou, who was so busy with work, really had time to come here to teach.

Even after listening to these two lessons, he genuinely admired the person in front of him.

He also came from an academic background, but of course, he only earned a doctorate and did not continue teaching; instead, he pursued a career in academia.

That is, after being awarded a professional title, one begins to preside over the work of the college.

He has now completely become the top leader.

"We'll have to ask Teacher Zhou about that later, but since Teacher Zhou has agreed, there shouldn't be any problems."

"You've got it all figured out," the middle-aged man said with a smile. "We'll hire Professor Zhou, and we can even help him get a professional title, but Professor Zhou must come and teach classes and guide students in design and thesis writing."

“That’s natural,” Professor Huo nodded.

Zhou Yue also walked over.

get out of class has ended, and no matter how reluctant everyone is to leave, it all has to come to an end.

They were also discussing it.

"Professor Zhou's lectures are really good. If I could teach at the Academy of Fine Arts, I would be more than happy to do so."

"Wow, I used to only follow Professor Zhou's academic areas, which I often saw in short videos. Professor Zhou has reached the pinnacle of what he can achieve at his age. I didn't expect that he could not only do so well in architecture, but also teach art history just as well as architecture. Which one is Professor Zhou's main profession?"

"In fact, Teacher Zhou may not have a distinction between main and side jobs. For this kind of person, it's like a hexagonal warrior, just like those traditional academic superstars we saw in high school, who can get full marks in every subject."

It sounds amazing, but some people in real life really are just that incredible.

It was as if they couldn't find anything that could stump them.

"Dean Bai." Dean Bai also stood up to shake hands, after all, Teacher Zhou's position was only half a rank lower than his.

Their art academy can only be considered one of the stronger ones among professional universities.

Ningxia University is indeed a provincial-level university.

Teacher Zhou's status within this system is almost on par with his.

In other words, the president of a provincial-level university is half a rank higher than his official position.

Of course, there can only be one person of that status in each province.

“I saw Professor Zhou from afar when I attended a meeting at Peking University last time. I never expected to meet him under these circumstances. I didn’t know that Professor Zhou’s artistic attainments were so high. I have benefited a lot from these two classes.”

He wasn't just flattering him; he genuinely benefited greatly from it.

After all, Zhou Yue's lectures are almost always packed with practical information.

Moreover, their profound knowledge is like having a database in their minds, which can connect many clues from time to time, and some of their ideas are things they had never thought of.

This is an extremely astonishing performance.

It's hard to imagine that Professor Zhou has read so many works on art history and has his own understanding of them.

"Dean Bai, you flatter me. I was just doing what a teacher is supposed to do, which is to prepare my lessons properly," Zhou Yue said with a smile.

However, Dean Bai did not believe that this teaching style could be prepared simply by preparing lessons.

It takes a lot of walking and reading to be able to do this.

"I completely agree to Professor Zhou teaching at our school. However, Professor Zhou is extremely busy. Does he have time to teach such basic courses at our school?"

"And we also have to supervise students' graduation projects and such, which may be very difficult and a waste of time. In fact, we don't have any big projects here that can make money."

“There will definitely be research projects, but they won’t earn as much as those from the architecture school.”

Zhou Yue gently shook his head. "I only come to class to spread what I've learned and what I like. As for other things, that doesn't matter. I'll arrange the time. Dean Bai doesn't need to worry about that."

"That's fine then. I was just worried about delaying Professor Zhou's work. Besides, if basic courses are offered as electives, very few students would choose them voluntarily."

"I don't think I need to worry about that in my class."

"This is natural."

After he finished speaking, everyone laughed.

Zhou Yue quickly received a job offer. Of course, the pay wasn't much, and the work was quite tiring, but that's how it is at these schools. They generally don't offer high salaries, just high social status, but only in the traditional sense. You don't earn much money, it's tiring, and you have to work on projects. Young people might find it very unappealing.

He had just come out of the lecture hall when he saw several resumes that Lin Ning had sent him.

"These are the better resumes that I initially screened out. As Yue Ge told me, I have already arranged for at least 30% of the resumes from people whose first or second degree is not that good, but who have worked very hard."

"But all we can say right now is that we're giving them a fair chance to be interviewed. As for whether they can stand out in the interview, nobody knows."

"Okay, I'll take a look first."

Zhou Yue looked at the dozen or so resumes in front of him. These were selected from eight hundred resumes, and these eight hundred resumes were generally considered to be quite good. At least, people would dare to apply for his doctoral program based on these resumes.

Of course, he still needs to be selective.

After all, who wouldn't want their students to do better?

Even for simple tasks, you need someone skilled and capable.

While he will certainly provide a stepping stone for those hardworking students, ultimately, there still needs to be some outstanding individuals to carry on his legacy.

He glanced at the resumes in front of him and found that some of them did not have outstanding first or second degrees, but their academic achievements were by no means inferior.

At their level, they can almost tell what a low-quality journal is and what a good paper is just by looking at the title.

For example, your research direction. You've been researching this thing, but it's a topic that's generally considered by the academic community to have little future potential. However, you've already achieved some results, which means you've indeed worked very hard.

After that, we need to see if our efforts were misdirected.

Zhou Yue quickly finished screening the resumes.

Of course, he only glanced at it, leaving almost everything else to Lin Ning to look at.

These people's resumes are so impressive.

Whether it's various projects or personal involvement in various social activities, those who have such impressive resumes in the field of architecture are basically those who have a lot of resources within academic circles.

Without academic resources, it would be difficult to polish a resume to this level.

Basically, most of them are like Lin Ning.

Otherwise, it would be very difficult to reach the level of Peking University at the undergraduate level, and it is almost impossible for an ordinary person to do so easily.

For ordinary people to get into a top university, they really need to work very, very hard.

People with academic resources have it much easier because the higher authorities will consciously create learning environments and academic plans for them.

Information asymmetry will always exist.

If you can't access certain information, you'll definitely fall behind others.

“Very good. Some are rich, some are powerful, and some are from academia.”

Finally, the children from poor families work very, very hard.

Zhou Yue simply sighed and then put the resumes away.

"When conducting an interview, focus on the person."

Zhou Yue circled one person's name.

I studied both my bachelor's and master's degrees at Pyeongju University.

However, his academic achievements are outstanding, and his research directions are quite diverse. He studies everything and has made good progress in all of them.

This must be an academician group, otherwise how could they have this level of expertise?
In the field of architecture, studying other branches of architecture is no less important than interdisciplinary research.

Therefore, he quite admires this person.
