On November 26, Juche 102(2013), the respected General Secretary Kim Jong Un visited Pyongyang University of Architecture. After making rounds of several places in the university, he dropped in at its fine arts rehearsal room. Then and there, students were absorbed in their drawings.
Looking at them, the future promising architects, with an air of satisfaction, he asked how many minutes it took them to make a sketch.
One of the students answered him that it took them about five minutes.
The respected General Secretary allowed them ten minutes for a sketch.
Ten minutes later, he viewed the sketches made by three of the students which were still incomplete and pointed out their merits and defects one by one. Then he advised them in a friendly way that they had to do justice to the features unique to the object person in making a figure sketch and that correctly deducing one of the person’s features and vividly describing it would be just enough to frame the sketch.
After all, the respected General Secretary gave a lucid explanation of the practical requirements and ways of the fine arts on viewing only a few drawings.
His precious teachings were equivalent to a special lecture that made students and officials realize the profoundness of architecture, an incorporation of social development and all modern intelligence, creative thinking and ability, and the level of abilities they must be possessed of to master architecture.
His meaningful lecture that day still continues along with the monumental edifices mushrooming in our country.
