Episode 152. Small Renaissance (1)

How could so many geniuses and masters be born in Italy during the Renaissance?

There are many views and interpretations on this.

The opinion is that this was possible thanks to the Medici family’s active support for nurturing artists.

The opinion is that this was because the Vatican, whose goal was to rebuild Rome, attracted artists with huge donations and gave them large-scale work.

The opinion is that this is because artists flocked to central areas such as Florence and competed fiercely, pushing their pitch to the limit.

All of this is true.

As the land became rich, a force emerged that needed to show its influence, and as they invested in culture and art, an environment was created in which artists could fully display their skills.

Naturally, hungry artists flocked to the area, and as they competed, countless works were created, and aspiring artists, mesmerized by the beautiful results, rushed to Italy with boiling passion, creating a virtuous cycle.

And this virtuous cycle is now happening at Baekhyun University of Fine Arts.

A small renaissance took place as they absorbed and inspired each other’s work and developed further.

-I’d like to tell my friends who are studying this site together, is that okay?

At first, Su-hyeon, who had learned Michael’s homepage address, asked permission to share his homepage and the homepages of other writers linked to it with people around him the next time she sent an email.

Even though it was already posted on the web, it was meant for anyone to come and see, and with a Korean sensibility, it was done with courtesy and politeness.

Michael readily accepted, and Soo-hyun first shared the link via messenger with her close friends: Park Seon-hwa, Cha Yoon-hee, Oh Yu-na, and Park Jun-young.

The problem is that the kids didn’t look at it very hard, but after getting completely scolded by Professor Kwon In-ho in the first sketching class, their attitude changed 180 degrees.

“Suhyun, what was the link you gave me last time?”

“You sent that to help me with my homework, right? I should have looked at it more closely.”

“I want to watch it again too. Wow, this class is really tough.”

There, several thirsty kids ran to Soo-hyun and asked for help.

“A website that has the know-how of active illustrators?”

“Yeah. There are a lot of helpful work methods. I got some help from them. They’ll be a hint to you too.”

“Then I have to see it unconditionally.”

“Wow, but how did you find out about this writer?”

A passionate atmosphere was formed in earnest when we started studying together through the homepages of Michael and other writers that Soo-hyeon had told us about.

“Have you seen Square? I have never seen such a moving square before. Just changing the proportions of the objects slightly made a huge difference in the feeling.”

“I like winter paintings. How can snow scenes be so cozy? I almost want to get into the painting.”

“That writer seems to use a variety of materials. Judging from the comments left, the materials don’t seem to be difficult to obtain. I think I’ll try using them too.”

“The change of perspective is good, the expression technique is novel, and there is a lot to learn.”

At first, there were many impressions.

Since Baek Hyun-dae’s kids are still college students and most of the owners of the homepages are active writers, it was more natural to admire them than compare them.

however.

“Couldn’t we apply this approach too?”

“I thought about that too. Doesn’t it have something in common with what Professor Kwon In-ho said in class? So the process of concretizing the material seems very plausible.”

“I tried it yesterday. I decided on a character and wrote various things as if I was having a conversation, and as I did that, ideas really came to me.”

“Really? Come on, let’s see.”

As with Soo-hyeon, strong stimulation gradually brought about change.

The children thought about how to apply what they had learned to their own work, and they developed by sharing their opinions with each other. Unlike when they were struggling alone, their work piled up at a frightening speed.

“How about this?”

“Wow, that’s good. What did you pick the day you drew?”

“I’ve always liked stories about watches and time machines, so I made a story about going back and forth between the past, present, and future using a watch.”

“Oh, that’s a novel attempt. But this part is a bit difficult. It’s complicated.”

“Me too. I don’t really understand from page 8 onwards.”

“I guess there are limits to expressing it through pictures alone. It would be childish to write it down. Hmm. Maybe it would be better to just take it easy?”

“I want the concept to be simple, but the picture to be profound. Right now, both are complicated, so I feel like giving up on them.”

“Oh, that’s right. Have you seen the maple leaves that Oh Yu-na drew? They’re like fairy tales, but they’re also philosophical.”

“That’s right. It also feels like life is fleeting. So it’s a story about a leaf that has its most beautiful moment and then falls off.”

“Oh. It was sad. The characters were pretty good too.”

While it is important to be alone and focus on your work, it is also important to spend time sharing and communicating.

It is difficult to realize everything on your own, and you can experience your own vision expanding when you share the perspectives of others.

Students taking the full-length class deeply experienced and sympathized with that part.

At first, I got hints from the websites of overseas writers that Su-hyeon shared with me, and I applied them to create a work that I conceived, shared it with people around me, and actively discussed it to create depth.

And finally, after just three weeks, 70% of the students succeeded in getting Professor Kwon In-ho’s OK.

‘The atmosphere is good.’

The positive change was good for Soo-hyun too.

To go far, you need people to walk together.

Especially in the world of art, diverse experiences are important, so it was a welcome and thankful experience to be able to share indirect experiences like this.

The experiences of those who have learned the method have become new nutrients through Soohyun’s unique filter. It has also become an opportunity to look back on one’s own work.

“Are you going?”

“Should I do that?”

After finishing her story, Su-hyeon hurriedly left the classroom. Everyone was excited about passing the sketch test, but she couldn’t get caught up in it.

The work was only just beginning.

Since Su-hyeon knew every detail of the process of completing a picture book, it was inevitable that she would feel anxious.

***

Red soap.

Su-hyeon, who returned home, carefully observed the red soap she had picked out in class three weeks ago.

Small and elongated in shape. A soap with a subtle cherry scent.

Su-hyeon immersed herself in the story’s main character again and looked lovingly at the red soap.

This method, which is similar to the process of hypnosis or acting, was something I learned from Michael’s work notes.

-Every story begins with knowing who the main character is.

-If you follow what the main character wants, you will naturally hear his story.

-When you fully understand the main character, the story comes to life.

Michael explains in detail how he discovers stories from ordinary materials through detailed process sketches.

It was similar to how Su-hyeon usually captures the subject or material of a painting, but it was different, so it wasn’t difficult to apply.

First, look at the object, then imagine the space it is placed in, and then imagine the person who encounters it.

Su-hyeon imagined the sea, a bathroom, a school, a faucet, a factory, a mart, and many other places, and after a while, she found a plausible place.

It was a lovely forest.

A quiet forest with green leaves and grass spread out in the vastness. The leaves swayed in the wind, and small animals and insects moved their bodies. And in the distance, a sparkling red soap was visible.

The contrast between the colors of the grass and the soap really stood out. I also liked the fact that the forest was an unexpected place.

Su-hyeon continued thinking.

How did the red soap end up in the forest?

And who will discover it?

Let’s wait a little longer. This time, someone’s hand suddenly appeared.

That’s how the story began.

Swish swish-.

Su-hyeon drew big eyes in her sketchbook.

Eyes sparkling with curiosity, filled with eagerness.

His mouth opened slightly and he drew a line as if he had found what he was looking for.

I drew a plump body past the face, then smooth, slender arms and legs extending down.

“You’re cute.”

Soo-hyun smiled brightly as she watched the character being created at her fingertips.

I liked it.

It was a red frog just as I had imagined.

“Should I draw the pocket a little bigger?”

The red frog was carrying a lot of things in his arms. The pockets on his waist and the bag on his back were also filled with things.

“Various types. Colors in one series.”

Su-hyeon muttered and quickly added some colors.

With Michael’s instructions in the large guidebook drawn by Professor Kwon In-ho, Su-hyeon created a story and characters that had never existed before on a blank sheet of paper.

A red frog that likes the color red.

It was difficult to explain why that image came to mind.

However, what was certain was that the red frog spoke to Soo-hyun, and Soo-hyun was gradually understanding his story.

The red frog in the picture was holding red soap with a satisfied look on its face.

As a famous collector of forest items, he filled his bags and pockets with things like red flower petals, red glass pieces, red grass leaves and bugs, and red cookie pieces.

On his way home, the frog happened to find a piece of red soap thrown away in the forest and was in a very happy mood.

Red soap was a new thing that had never been discovered before.

Swish swish.

Su-hyeon turned the drawing paper over and drew the next scene. This time, it was the red frog’s house. It was a house where all the wealth the frog had accumulated was displayed.

“Phew.”

First, I drew the rough outline and then drew the detailed props.

I was thinking of filling the house with various red things.

It was an important scene that showed the frog’s personality, past life, and values ​​at a glance.

Swish-.

I paused for a moment before turning to the next chapter.

This time it was the part where the emotional change began.

A frog who is happy in his own world, but also feels lonely.

The red frog is observing the pond through a telescope.

There were frogs playing around, looking cheerful and happy, but the red frog couldn’t fit in. It was because it was a different color.

“How can I express my sad feelings?”

Professor Kwon In-ho nodded and said that this was enough, but there was something disappointing about this page.

If I had emphasized the frog’s lonely expression, it would have been difficult to capture the cheerful atmosphere of the pond beyond the telescope, and if I had filled in the pond seen through the telescope, there would have been no room to draw the main character.

I wanted to avoid splitting the screen because it felt like a childish way of directing.

“Should I draw it as a full shot? Reversing the positions.”

Su-hyeon tilted her head.

And then, this time, I quickly drew a pond forward, a group of cheerful frogs, and a red frog peeking out a telescope through the window of the red frog’s house far away, past the beautiful tree.

“It’s pretty good, isn’t it?”

It was difficult to express facial expressions because of its size, but the atmosphere and posture were enough to convey emotions.

“I think it’ll be okay because it’s red and stands out even if it looks small from far away.”

The situation of not being able to mix and only looking from afar was expressed quite well, and Su-hyeon, who liked the sketch, nodded and picked up the next page.

A red frog with a distinct personality, but always feeling lonely because he is alone.

He now encounters a group of frogs in a pond and experiences a shocking incident.

You will encounter a desperate incident where the world that has supported you up until now will collapse all at once.

“Phew.”

Soo-hyun looked over the sketch she had practiced again and confidently drew a line on a new piece of paper.

Five sketches were close to completion. Nine more drawings remained until the story was finished.
