素描是绘画艺术的基础。这已无可置疑地在数世纪时间里被成千上万画家们的实践所证明。那些独立于艺术之林的素描作品和那些具有艺术质量的优美深刻的素描习作,不仅是艺术的珍宝而且成为造型艺术各门类的范本。然而在评论素描的“功过”时却认为“素描使人不会画画”,“素描愈画愈死板”,“素描造成创作上的困难”。因而有人主张少画素描,或是用速写代替素描,或是用专业基础代替素描基础。有的则为了克服绘画艺术的风格单一,别出心裁的“创造性”的使用形式风格进行素描基础教学。以上诸问题的产生,并不是由于采用素描教学造成的,而是由于我们目前教学中某些不正确的教学 Sketch is the basis of painting art. This is undoubtedly proven by the practice of thousands of painters over centuries. Those sketches that stand apart from the art world and the beautiful and profound sketches that are of artistic quality are not only a treasure of art but also a model of all kinds of plastic arts. However, when commenting on the sketch’s “merits and demerits,” they think that “sketches make people unable to draw”, “sketches become more and more sketchy,” and “sketches create creative difficulties.” Thus some people advocate less sketch, or sketches instead of sketches, or based on a professional basis instead of drawing. Some are in order to overcome the single style of the art of painting, ingenuity “creative” style of use of basic teaching sketch. The above problems are not caused by the use of sketch teaching, but because of some incorrect teaching in our present teaching
