·General Situation of FengLiang International Art college

    Jiangxi Fengliang (International) Art College is an international, of new type and synthetic art college which is created by the founder of Guangdong Yibang Group, Yu Jinggan. It fosters artistic talents with high quality towards the whole society.

    The predecessor of the college is “Design Island”. “Design Island” was founded in 1996. It has fostered thousands of excellent designers and project managers for Yibang Group and Chinese Decoration Circle. It was regarded as “the talent cradle of Chinese Decoration Circle” long ago. In 2003, Mr. Yu Jinggan returned his hometown and created Jiangxi Fengliang International Art College with the hope of “art helps the poor” and “art helps each other”. The principle of running the school is “teaching art and morals, studying from the world”, and the purpose of struggle is “ten years, ten times as strong as before”, whose strategy is “four great projects”. (Great master project, great helping project, great obtaining employment project, great starting undertaking project.) We have already set up a splendid art campus since 3 years ago.

    The college has advanced hardware facilities. The first---period project was built and put into usage in the end of 2003. It includes 6 teaching buildings, 3 audiovisual rooms, 2 students’ apartments, one hall and a cultural square which covers more than 3,000 square meters. And it can accept more than 1,000 students’ having class and accommodation. The kit of facilities of dining room, hospital, public security, reading, sport and other service functions have been accomplished in the college. Besides, with the support of local government, the special—line highway was constructed along the lake. The mobile department built a signal tower, so that the distance---controlled telephone inside the campus, IC telephone and network can work without obstruction. The second—period campus built in March, 2005 was put into usage in December. The third—period campus is also in tense construction. Now the second—period campus has already become “Art special training campsite for 100 days on the Lushan Mountain.” The campsite is held jointly by the college and the net of President. It’s the largest art special training campsite in the world. It has already held two terms successfully, fostered hundreds of students, and attracted thousands of undergraduate students from other colleges to register here. Now “Art special training campsite for 100 days on the Lushan Mountain” has become a holy land that the country’s art undergraduates look forward to.

     In the aspect of charges, the college practices “low charges, low consume”. It can reduce poor students’ tuition or give them the loan of helping to learn. It spreads helping to learn project---“one helps one” in Yibang Group. It specially set up “Class of encouraging ambition” for Jiangxi old revolution district.

     The great masters take the lead, and the famous teachers teach. The establishment of departments, the setting of specialized subjects, and the offering of courses in the college are because of the great masters and they are famous by the great masters. Fengliang International Art College, Guangzhou branch institute, and Long River University, Jiujiang University which cooperate with our college have set up more than 30 specialized subjects that adapt social development. For example, civil engineering, fine arts, market’s marketing, industry and civil building, city program and garden design, accounting, image design, economy management, business English, sculpture, oil painting, Chinese painting, interior design, etc. They are vivid and outstanding because of the great masters. Besides, we especially invite the teacher of China Central Academy of fine arts school of Design and designer of Tian’anmen Square visual direction system Mr. S.Murad to hold the post of vice principle, in charge of international communications and foreign cooperation projects.
