"The most beautiful thing is that I'm going to start my day by looking at paintings I like." When you walk into the studio of Qi Zhe, dean of the School of Arts and Crafts of Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, you will see the paintings of domestic and foreign artists as well as his own. As the head of the academy, Qi Zhe gained a new understanding of the creative transformation and innovative development of arts and crafts. He believes that the current arts and crafts should get rid of the narrow art circle and enter the modern social life.
