Conditions for running Xu Beihong Art College of Shanghai Maritime University

Xu Beihong Art College of Shanghai Maritime University was established on 28 October 2009/KLOC-0, with Ms. Liao as honorary president. As we all know, Mr. Xu Beihong is a "painter and educator" in China's century-old art history. He compared the aesthetic and cultural differences between China and the West, advocated the choice and improvement of national art, and formed his own theory of artistic improvement: "Those who are good at ancient laws should persist, those who reject them should continue, those who are not good should change, those who are insufficient should increase, and those who can accept western paintings should integrate." This idea is incompatible with the teaching philosophy and teaching thought of our college. The original intention of Xu Beihong Art College was to realize the perfect combination of design and art and cultivate innovative talents of the times.

At present, Xu Beihong Art College offers two undergraduate majors, namely, artistic design (visually conveying the design direction) and industrial design (product design direction), and the master of design arts major. As a complete teaching system, Xu Beihong Art College will add a painting major on 20 15 to form the complementarity between art and design. The major of industrial design was established in 2002, and the major of art design began to enroll students in 2009.

Xu Beihong College of Art has a strong teaching and research faculty, with 4 professors, 4 associate professors and 2 master tutors. Some teachers have become the leaders of relevant professional academic organizations in China and Shanghai, and they have a high social reputation in Shanghai and even the whole country. There are 240 undergraduates (including liberal arts and engineering) and 30 graduate students. The college adheres to the combination of teaching and practice, teaching and scientific research, art and engineering technology, pays equal attention to theory and practice, meets the needs of social talents in time, and gradually forms obvious school-running characteristics. The advantages and characteristics formed by years of exploration and practice have been well reflected in the level and structure of teachers, teachers' scientific research creation and teaching reform, domestic participation and awards of teachers and students, and employment of previous graduates.

There are 6 professional studios, painting books 1200, photography laboratory, comprehensive materials laboratory, sculpture laboratory and model making laboratory. At the same time, we signed off-campus practice base agreements with Shanghai Advertising Co., Ltd., Zhenhua Port Machinery Co., Ltd., Jingdezhen Beetle Ceramic Design Factory, Anhui Hongcun "Ancient Dwellings" Photography Sketch Base, Shanghai Maritime University Engineering Training Center, etc. The school library has about 5,500 art books, and has subscribed to 18 art periodicals and magazines and 1 1 professional newspapers.
