Response of Belov A.V. About the final qualifying work of the student of the main educational program "Painting" Yu Zhengyuan. The theme of the final qualifying work: Cultural traditions of China "Rural Life".  The subject of the diploma work by the student was not taken by accident, it embodies the author's love for the culture of simple rural life. The plot is based on the motif from the life of the Chinese village. Life is slow, slow and measured. The simplicity of rural life is characteristic of the Chinese province. The plot just conveys a state of tranquility, peace and even contemplation. Almost the whole life of the Chinese village takes place on the street, in the field, in farming. The student decided to portray a small fragment of this life. He tried to express his love and affection for his national traditions, his native land. Yu Zhenyuan undertook the preparatory work. The preparatory material for the work on WRC was collected in sufficient quantity. A lot of full sketches were made. Several tonal and composite versions of the picture have been developed. The degree work is not well worked out, the materiality of the objects is not sufficiently revealed, the imagery of the characters is poorly conveyed, and the details are studied at a low level. Tonal and color relationships are transmitted harmoniously. In general, the final qualifying work of Yu Zheng-yuan can be considered incomplete.
