Chapter 205 Showcase

After the first seal was carved, Lu Li practiced another project.

In addition to calligraphy, Chinese painting, sketching and oil painting, there is one more "engraving".

Engraving is just a type of "sculpture", and engraving is just a type of sculpture. Lu Li still has a lot to learn.

But...there are priorities. At present, dealing with the province's calligraphy and painting tournament and the national calligraphy and painting tournament, as well as the art examination of the college entrance examination, is the main task during this period.

As for engraving, Lu Li only practiced "engraving".

This thing has one benefit. After the engraving is finished, it is smoothed and the engraving can be continued.

In terms of calligraphy, Lu Li's regular script has reached a higher-level, and he can practice other fonts.

Regular script, official script, running script, cursive script, seal script, as well as the "Yanshu" created by the famous contemporary Calligraphy Ma Yongan are all calligraphy fonts that must be mastered.

And... In addition to brush calligraphy, hard brush calligraphy also requires practice.

It seems that there are many items that need to be practiced, but it is not difficult to practice.

Regular script is the foundation of all calligraphy. After practicing regular script, it is easier to practice other calligraphy fonts.

In Chinese painting, there are many things to practice.

Because Chinese painting not only pays attention to "shape", but also pays attention to a "god". With both form and spirit, it is a good work.

For this "God", Lu Li also has his own understanding. In the actor's plot, when Lu Li played various roles, he already deeply realized what "god" is.

The so-called "God" is to express the main characteristics and characteristics of a thing with artistic methods, to highlight this characteristic and highlight this characteristic.

To put it bluntly, it is to have characteristics, not ordinary and stereotyped.

In the process of improving painting skills, it is necessary to upgrade from "shape like" to "spirit like", and finally achieve "both form and spirit".

A famous saying as everyone knows: A mountain is a mountain, a mountain is not a mountain, and a mountain is still a mountain. Finished the whole process.

After the city-wide painting and calligraphy competition, Lu Li's life returned to normal.

heaven rewards the diligent for Lu Li to improve with every practice and every practice. Therefore, Lu Li's daily practice has increased significantly, and the amount of paper used has also increased significantly.

All kinds of consumables are consumed rapidly, and the five thousand dollars that Lu Li earned from translating materials has been used up.

In order not to increase the burden on her parents, Lu Li had to go back to her old business and translate materials for others online.

Pick up tasks once a week, ranging from thousands to hundreds. This income is enough to maintain Lu Li's consumption.

We will participate in the province's middle school students' painting and calligraphy tournament in December.

This provincial middle school student painting and calligraphy competition has some restrictions on the registration requirements. Only the intermediate level certificate of calligraphy and painting skills is required to be eligible to register.

This rule is normal. If there is no such restriction, the number of applicants will be too large, and the organizing committee will not be able to arrange it.

So...Lu Li also has to take a painting and calligraphy grade test.

Log in to the Xichuan Provincial Educational Examination Institute and search for the recent calligraphy and painting grade examinations. Lu Li found the registration page.

The last exam was in November.

Lu Li registered online and completed the procedure.

The calligraphy and painting level examination is divided into primary level, Basic, Middle and High, third rank Level 10.

Because Lu Li has the first prize in the city's painting and calligraphy tournament, he can directly apply for the high level. Lu Li reported Level 10 directly.

This kind of skill level of calligraphy and painting belongs to the "national nature", even if the test is Level 10, it still belongs to the "amateur" level.

The location of the exam is still the Yucheng Youth Palace.

On the day of the test, Lu Li took a leave of absence and came to the Yucheng Youth Palace to take the grade test.

The exam process does not need to be described in detail. Write a few words, draw a few pictures, even if the test is over.

There are not many people who take this level test. There are several people who take the calligraphy test together with Lu Li, and only Lu Li is left for the painting test.

One week after the exam, Lu Li got the calligraphy and painting grade certificate issued by the Chinese Painting and Calligraphy Grade Examination Committee.

Level 10!

Opening the certificate and taking a look, Lu Li smiled and looked at the head, Level 10 was still a scumbag.

Getting this certificate may be equivalent to the "nine-year compulsory education" graduation certificate in the art world, right?

Time goes by and it's December.

The 10th of this month is the start day of the painting and calligraphy tournament for middle school students across the province.

With ten days left before the competition, teacher Xue Song collected the certificates and materials of the participants and signed up for everyone.

In the art class of Yucheng No. 1 Middle School, not many people signed up for the provincial competition.

Only Lu Li and a few classmates who won the second prize in the city competition signed up, and no one else signed up.

This is also normal. You can't win the city competition, but you still want to win the provincial competition?

On the day before the competition, Liu Juan teacher led the team, with Lu Li and Gao Juan, Jiang Wenwen and Du Yan who won the second prize in the city competition, four students and one teacher, and rushed to the province together. city.

Gao Juan and Jiang Wenwen are girls, Du Yan is a boy, they are both high school seniors like Lu Li.

This provincial competition is still very important to them. Once you can win the prize in the provincial competition, you can add points for the college entrance examination. If you can get the first prize, it will be easier to apply for the art school in the province.

For Lu Li, he doesn't care about the extra points in the college entrance examination, nor does he think about applying for the art school in the province. This competition...is an opportunity to have a go.

It has been more than three months since I entered this plot.

After more than three months of practice, Lu Li felt that his current calligraphy and painting skills, at the level of high school students, are already top-notch.

“Lu Li, do you have the confidence to win this provincial competition?”

Sitting in the car, Gao Juan asked Lu Li with a smile.

"Confidence is a thing..."

Lu Li grinned, "confidence is a must! I don't have high expectations, so I won a few first prizes so-so. That's it!"

"Cut!"

Everyone rolled their eyes.

"Lu Li, you are a little floating!"

Liu Juan teacher smiled and looked at the head, "It's a good thing to have confidence, but don't be too careless."

“Teacher, don’t worry!”

Lu Li laughed and said, “My mentality is very stable. I’m not drifting or sinking, I’m very calm.”

“Can you not Are you calm?"

Du Yan, the boy sitting opposite, continued, "Your cultural grades are so good. Even if you don't do well in the art exam, you can still get into a key university."

"This..."

Lu Li curl one's lip, "What you said is the truth, I can't refute it."

"I'm going! Why do I want to hit someone? !"

Du Yan's face was depressed.

Gao Juan and Jiang Wenwen were speechless for a while.

Liu Juan teacher smiled and shook the head.

Arriving all the way to the provincial capital, Liu Juan teacher and Lu Li and four people found a hotel near the Provincial Cultural and Sports Center and stayed there.

Tomorrow's game will be held at the Cultural and Sports Center.

After checking into the hotel, Liu Juan teacher took everyone to the cultural and sports center to get acquainted with the examination room before returning to the hotel to rest.

The hotel room was opened at his own expense, and Lu Li didn't want to live with other people, so he booked a room alone.

“Lu Li, I brought oranges. There are a lot of oranges. If I can’t eat them all by myself, they will spoil. I will share with you.”

When Lu Li entered the room, Gao Juan handed Lu Li a bag of oranges.

"Uh...thank you!"

The pure friendship between classmates, Lu Li is not easy to refuse, and reaches out to take the orange that Gao Juan handed over.

Actually...I prefer pears!

"I still have bananas here."

Jiang Wenwen next to him took another bunch of bananas and handed them to Lu Li.

Huh? banana?

Lu Li laughed and reached out to take it, "Thank you."

"You're welcome, they are all classmates!"

Jiang Wenwen and Gao Juan are right Glancing at him, he seemed to feel the murderous aura in the other's eyes.

The corner of Du Yan's mouth twitched fiercely when he saw this scene. Am I not a classmate? Why not give it to me?

Liu Juan teacher smiled and shook the head. Isn't that obvious? You are ugly!

......

After dinner, Lu Li took a rest in the room and changed into his sportswear to go out.

Since the championship story, Lu Li has had the habit of exercising. Even in this new plot, Lu Li is used to it.

Going out of the hotel door, Lu Li plans to go to the leisure square next to him for activities.

When passing by the pavilion outside the hotel, I saw two students sitting in the pavilion.

"Zhang Sheng, in this painting and calligraphy competition, the first prize of calligraphy is handed over to you."

A boy with slightly longer hair and a bit of an artist's temperament, facing the opposite one The tall and thin boy said: "I only reported Chinese painting, not calligraphy."

"Cut! I want you to let me go?"

The tall and thin boy looked disdainful, "Said It's as if you have beaten me. This time I didn't apply for Chinese painting, only calligraphy. We don't need to compete internally, it's the best strategy to join forces to divide the awards."

"Yes!"

The long-haired man looked like "Dougu seeks defeat", "If you and I join forces, no one else will have anything to do. Heroes in the world, only make Jun and Cao Er! When the national competition is over, Let's fight again."

pu chi!

Lu Li couldn't help laughing.

Although it is inevitable that a teenage boy has a little bit of middle school, but...this remark is really a bit embarrassing!

“en?”

Hearing Lu Li's laughter, the two people in the pavilion looked over together.

"You were laughing just now?"

The two looked towards Lu Li with a bit of a bad look.

"Oh, I read a connotation joke and couldn't hold back for a while."

Lu Li casually said, "Excuse me! Farewell!"

Connotation jokes?

The two in the gazebo looked at each other, slightly frowned. I always feel that this connotation joke is not a good word.

"Are you also here to participate in the painting and calligraphy tournament?"

The long-haired man was still a little reluctant and asked again.

"No! No! I'm just here to make soy sauce!"

Lu Li waved his hand, "Don't disturb your business, farewell!"

We know soy sauce. What does business talk mean?

The two frowned in the gazebo ignored Lu Li.

……

Second day At 9:00 am, the province's middle school students' painting and calligraphy tournament officially opened.

Liu Juan teacher brought Lu Li and the others to the arena of the Cultural and Sports Center. Lu Li and the others went to the examination room to participate in the examination according to the items they applied for.

The entire competition is divided into two days.

The first Heavenly Book of French and Chinese painting. second day sketches and paintings.

When Lu Li walked into the calligraphy examination room, he unexpectedly met the tall and thin boy who "joined hands to share the prize".

"Huh? You are indeed a participating student."

The tall and thin boy looked towards Lu Li with a bit of disdain, "You made a wrong choice to sign up for the calligraphy competition. With me here, you have no chance."

"Oh!"

Lu Li laughed, "It's okay! I have applied for all four competitions. Cast the net a bit bigger. , there are more opportunities."

"Uh..."

tall and thin man frowned, so you are the scum who came to try one's luck? Talking to you degrades my identity! Too lazy to deal with you!

Lu Li is also happy to be quiet.

A few moments later, the invigilator teacher enters the room, distributes papers, and announces the exam questions.

Different from the Yucheng competition, this provincial competition has more content. Calligraphy should be written in two or more fonts, and three to four pieces of calligraphy should be written.

Lu Li chose one regular script, one official script and one running script.

It's still the same routine. Lu Li took out the inkstone and started grinding ink. calm and composed , calm , the posture is still very elegant.

"Pretend!"

The tall and thin man next to him saw Lu Li's rubbing gesture, snorted with disdain, but he thought to himself: This guy has no ability, he's awesome sure!

It was a waste to put such a calm and graceful posture on him. Only a genius like me can complement each other.

Lu Li doesn't know that someone is going to "plagiarize" his style.

While grinding the ink, keep your energy up. After preparing the draft in mind and accumulating the imposing manner to Peak, Lu Li spread out the rice paper and started writing.

A regular script banner, Lu Li wrote "Indifferent to clear ambition, quiet to far."

This word is written very implicitly, like a cold pool in the abyss, calm and profound .

In official script, what Lu Li wrote is "The terrain is Kun, the gentleman carries his things with great virtue!"

This word is thick and heavy, vast and majestic, reflecting the meaning of the earth.

The last running script, written by Lu Li, is "Flying down three thousand feet, it is suspected that the Milky Way falls to Nine Heavens."

The running script is elegant, but it goes straight down with a flying stream, A thousand miles of flying air.

After writing the three characters, Lu Li put his seal on it, packed his things immediately, and raised his hand to hand in the scroll.

The tall and thin man next to this scene saw this scene, and was sneered with disdain. The calligraphy works, every word must be carefully considered. The three words were written so quickly? Truly a piece of shit.

The calligraphy competition is over, and the afternoon is Chinese painting.

The Chinese painting competition also has more content than the Yucheng city competition, requiring two paintings. Choose from two painting styles including ink wash, heavy light, light crimson, fine brushwork, freehand brushwork, and line drawing.

The subject matter is optional, and it can be any of the themes such as landscape, figures, flowers and birds.

Lu Li painted an ink landscape and a fine brush figure.

The ink landscape painting is still in Bifengxia, the hometown. The meticulous characters... Lu Li painted the head teacher Lao Xu.

The sketch of the second day, the provincial competition has played a new trick, the examination room is like a movie set, and it has a Republic of China style directly.

A group of beautiful models wearing cheongsams and graceful figures posing in the room.

Are you afraid that these beauties will distract the candidates?

Lu Li laughed, picked up the pen and drew this scene of the Republic of China.

The oil painting in the afternoon is fresher. The examination room was moved outside, and the invigilator teacher pointed to a road in the cultural and sports center with French plane trees planted on both sides, and the word "painted"!

Aren't you afraid that candidates catch a cold?

Lu Li tightened his down jacket, heaved a sigh of relief, and moved his fingers...

The two-day competition is over, just waiting for the results!
