Chapter 372 - 372: Painting Quickly
“At the same time, I will also present these three pieces of work to the principal. As for which piece of work can be used as the design draft for our school uniform, it will be decided by the principal.”
The students cheered again after Professor Yang Ning said that.
He had thought that only the first place would have a chance to be recruited by the school, but now, the top three all had a chance.
The anticipation in the students’ hearts increased a little.
The five judges began to evaluate the artworks.
They placed each design draft in the middle of the table so that the five judges could see it. Professor Yang Ning and Professor Zhang Han stood in the middle.
The basic design drafts in front were very ordinary. It was obvious that they were copied from the uniform designs of other schools.
They were quickly rejected.
Only a few had added their own thoughts in the last part of the book, but these designs were not mature enough. If they were really made into clothes, they would not look good in front of the public.
Therefore, these designs were also rejected.
None of the paintings they had seen so far were perfect. Professor Yang Ning was a little disappointed.
These students were already considered outstanding among their peers for being able to get into New York University.
Judging from their drawing skills, these people who came to participate in the competition should have a certain level of artistic foundation.
However, the clothes they designed were far from what Professor Yang Ning wanted.
Just as Professor Yang Ning was not expecting much from the design work, she suddenly saw a design that was not bad.
She pointed at the design and said, “Compared to the other school uniform designs, this one incorporates my own ideas. If it’s made into clothes, the effect will be better. What do you think?”
The other judges also agreed with Professor Yang Ning’s point of view. They were not blind. They could tell at a glance that this uniform design was much more high-end than the previous ones.
Everyone set the painting aside. Among these design drafts, it was the most outstanding.
Professor Yang Ning thought that she wouldn’t see any more stunning works, but she didn’t expect the next design to make her eyes light up. She held the drawing paper, her eyes shining with excitement.
“This is the school uniform style I want. Not only does it have a good overall presentation, but it also combines the advantages of our country’s ancient style.
“Look at the design here. It’s an orchid, representing a noble and pure character.
“And here, this is an ancient text designed using embroidery.”
The other judges also saw this and expressed their agreement.
“If the other paintings are only good in terms of drawing skills and design, then this painting is completely tailor-made for our school.
“It aligns perfectly with our school’s vision. We all hope that our students will become talented, but we also hope that they will have noble hearts. This way, the greater their ability, the greater their contribution to society.
“At the same time, if our students wear such a uniform, other foreign schools will recognize them as Chinese students.”
Professor Yang Ning nodded in agreement with Professor Zhang Han.
The first place, without a doubt, was the painting that they had highly praised.
The second painting was the one that had caught their attention at the beginning.
The third painting was of a lower standard than the previous two, but it had its own unique characteristics.
After deciding on the ranking, they turned the paintings around to confirm the names behind them.
When Professor Yang Ning saw the name behind the first place, the smile in her eyes deepened.
Then, Professor Yang Ning said to everyone, “Let me announce the final results of the competition. First place goes to Zhou En and Xia Wan, second place goes to Li Ru and Lin Lin, and third place goes to Zhou Chang.”
Upon hearing this result, Li Ru was very unconvinced. She shouted, “Teacher, I want to know how our design is worse than Zhou En’s..”
