Chapter 204: 1 show your skills

After carving the first seal, Lu Li practiced another project.
In addition to calligraphy, traditional Chinese painting, sketching and oil painting, there is another "engraving".
Engraving is only a kind of "carving", and carving is just a kind of sculpture. Lu Li still has a lot to learn.
But... there are priorities. At present, dealing with the provincial painting and calligraphy competition, the national painting and calligraphy competition, and the art examination of the college entrance examination are the main tasks during this period.
In terms of carving, Lu Li only practiced "engraving".
There is the same advantage to such things as seal stone. After the carving is finished, it is smoothed and you can continue carving.
In terms of calligraphy, Lu Li's regular script has already entered the room, so he can practice other fonts.
Regular script, official script, running script, cursive script, seal script, and the "yan script" created by the famous contemporary calligrapher Ma Yongan are all calligraphy fonts that must be mastered.
And... Besides brush calligraphy, hard pen calligraphy also requires practice.
It seems that there are many items to practice, 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.
There are many things to practice in Chinese painting.
Because in addition to "shape", Chinese painting also pays attention to a "god". It is a good work that has both form and spirit.
Lu Li also had his own understanding of this "god". When Lu Li played various roles in the actor's plot, he already deeply realized what "god" is.
The so-called "god" is to express the main characteristics and characteristics of a certain thing in an artistic way, highlighting this characteristic and highlighting this characteristic.
To put it bluntly, it is to have characteristics, not to be ordinary and the same.
In the process of improving painting skills, it is necessary to upgrade from "likeness" to "likeness", and finally achieve "both form and spirit".
A well-known saying: Look at mountains as mountains, look at mountains not mountains, and look at mountains or mountains. Tao did the whole process.
After the city's calligraphy and painting competition ended, Lu Li's life returned to daily life.
Tiandao rewards hard work so that Lu Li improves with every practice, and improves with every practice. Therefore, Lu Li's daily practice volume has greatly increased, and the amount of paper used has also further increased.
All kinds of consumables were consumed drastically, and the five thousand yuan that Lu Li earned from translating materials for others had already been used up.
In order not to increase the burden on his parents, Lu Li had to return to his old career and translated the materials for others on the Internet.
Take a task once a week, with as many as thousands and as few as hundreds. This income was enough to sustain Lu Li's consumption.
In December, we will participate in the provincial middle school student painting and calligraphy competition.
For this provincial middle school student painting and calligraphy competition, there are some restrictions on registration conditions. Only an intermediate level certificate of painting and calligraphy skills is required to be eligible to register.
This rule is normal. Without this restriction, the number of applicants would be too much, and the organizing committee would not be able to arrange it.
So... Lu Li has to take a calligraphy and painting grade examination.
Log in to the Xichuan Provincial Education Examination Institute, search for the calligraphy and painting grade examination held recently, and Lu Li found the registration page.
The most recent exam was in November.
Lu Li registered online and completed the formalities.
The calligraphy and painting grade examination is divided into elementary, intermediate and advanced, with three levels and ten levels.
Because Lu Li has the first prize in the city's calligraphy and painting competition, he can directly apply for the advanced level. Lu Li reported directly to Level 10.
This kind of calligraphy and painting skill level belongs to the "national nature", even if it takes tenth level, it still belongs to the "amateur" level.
The place for the exam is the Yucheng Youth Palace.
On the day of the exam, Lu Li took a leave of absence and went to the Yucheng Youth Palace to take the grade exam.
There is no need to repeat the examination process. I wrote a few words and drew a few pictures, even if I finished the exam.
There are not many people taking this kind of grade examination. There are still a few people who take the calligraphy exam with Lu Li, and Lu Li is the only one who takes the exam.
One week after the exam, Lu Li received the calligraphy and painting grade certificate issued by the Chinese Painting and Calligraphy Grade Examination Committee.
grade ten!
Looking at the certificate, Lu Li smiled and shook his head. The tenth level was still a scum.
Obtaining this certificate may be equivalent to the "nine-year compulsory education" graduation certificate in the art world?
Time passed day by day, and it was December in a blink of an eye.
The 10th of this month is the start day of the provincial middle school student painting and calligraphy competition.
With ten days left before the competition, Mr. 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 of the city competition signed up, and none of the others signed up.
This is also normal. Can't win the city competition, still want to win the provincial competition?
On the day before the competition, teacher Liu Juan led the team to bring Lu Li and Gao Juan, Jiang Wenwen and Du Yan who won the second prize of the city competition, four students and one teacher, to the provincial capital.
Gao Juan and Jiang Wenwen are girls, Du Yan is a boy, and both are senior high school students like Lu Li.
This provincial competition is still very important to them. Once you get a prize in the provincial competition, you can get points for the college entrance examination. If you can get the first prize, it will be easier to apply for the fine arts colleges in the province.
For Lu Li, he didn't care about the extra points in the college entrance examination, and he never thought about applying for the fine arts colleges in the province. This competition...is an opportunity to show off.
It has been more than three months since entering this plot.
After more than three months of practice, Lu Li felt that his current calligraphy and painting skills were already top-notch at the level of high school students.
"Lu Li, are you confident of winning this provincial competition?"
Sitting in the car, Gao Juan asked Lu Li with a smile.
"Confidence this thing..."
Lu Li grinned, "Confidence is a must! I don't have too high expectations, just get a few first prizes so-so!"
"cut!"
Everyone rolled their eyes.
"Lu Li, you're a little floating!"
Teacher Liu Juan smiled and shook her head, "It's a good thing to have confidence, don't be too careless."
"Teacher don't worry!"
Lu Li smiled and said, "My mind is very stable. It's not floating or sinking, very calm."
"Can you calm down?"
Du Yan, a male student sitting opposite, said, "You have such a good academic performance. Even if you don't do well in fine arts, you can still go to major universities."
"This..."
Lu Li curled his lips, "What you said is the truth, I can't refute it."
"I'm going! Why do I want to hit someone!"
Du Yan was depressed.
Gao Juan and Jiang Wenwen were speechless for a while.
Teacher Liu Juan smiled and shook his head.
All the way to the provincial capital, Mr. Liu Juan led Lulu away from the four people, and found a hotel near the provincial cultural and sports center.
Tomorrow's game will be held in the Cultural and Sports Center.
After staying in the hotel, Liu Juan took everyone to the cultural and sports center to get acquainted with the examination room before returning to the hotel to rest.
The hotel opened a room at his own expense, and Lu Li did not want to live with other people, so he booked a room separately.
"Lu Li, I brought a lot of oranges. If I can't finish them all by myself, they will be broken. Give you some."
When Lu Li entered the door, Gao Juan carried a bag of oranges and handed it to Lu Li.
"Uh...thank you!"
Lu Li couldn't refuse the pure friendship of classmates. He reached out and took the orange that Gao Juan handed over.
Actually...I prefer to eat pears!
"I still have bananas here."
Jiang Wenwen next to him took another bunch of bananas and handed it to Lu Li.
Uh? banana?
Lu Li smiled, and reached out to take it, "Thank you."
"You are welcome, they are all classmates!"
Jiang Wenwen and Gao Juan looked at each other, and they seemed to feel the murderous look in each other's eyes.
Du Yan next to him saw this scene, and the corners of his mouth twitched fiercely. Am I not a classmate? Why not give it to me?
Teacher Liu Juan smiled and shook his head. Is this not obvious yet? You look ugly!
...
After eating, Lu Li took a rest in the room, changed into sportswear and went out.
Since the championship plot, Lu Li has the habit of exercising. Even in this new plot, Lu Li got used to it naturally.
Walking out of the hotel's door, Lu Li planned to go to the leisure square next to him for activities.
When I passed the pavilion outside the hotel, I saw two students sitting in the pavilion.
"Zhang Sheng, in this calligraphy and painting competition, the first prize of calligraphy is given to you."
A boy with slightly longer hair and a bit of an artist's temperament said to a tall and thin boy on the opposite side: "I only reported Chinese painting, not calligraphy."
"Cut! I want you to let me?"
The tall and thin boy was full of disdain, "As if you had beaten me. I didn't apply for Chinese painting this time, only for calligraphy. We don't need to compete internally. The best strategy is to share the prize together."
"Yes!"
The long-haired man looked like "just begging for defeat", "If you and I join forces, there will be nothing else. The heroes of the world, only the king and your ears! When the national game comes, we will fight again. "
Puff!
Lu Li couldn't help laughing out loud.
Although it is inevitable that teenagers are getting a bit of a second mark, but... these words are really embarrassing!
"Ok?"
Hearing Lu Li's laughter, the two in the pavilion looked over.
"Are you laughing just now?"
The two of them looked at Lu Li's eyes a little bit badly.
"Oh, I watched a connotation joke and couldn't hold back it for a while."
Lu Li said casually, "Excuse me! Goodbye!"
Connotation jokes?
The two in the pavilion looked at each other and frowned slightly. I always feel that this connotative paragraph is not a good thing.
"You are also here to participate in the calligraphy and painting competition?"
The long-haired man was still unwilling to give up and asked again.
"No! No! I'm here to make soy sauce!"
Lu Li waved his hand, "Don't disturb your business talk, leave!"
We know how to make soy sauce. What does business talk about each other mean?
The two people in the pavilion frowned and ignored Lu Li.
...
At nine o'clock in the morning the next day, the provincial middle school student painting and calligraphy competition officially opened.
Teacher Liu Juan brought Lu Li and the others to the stadium of the Cultural and Sports Center. Lu Li and others went to the examination room to compete in accordance with their respective projects.
The whole game is divided into two days.
Calligraphy and Chinese painting on the first day. Drawing and painting the next day.
When Lu Li walked into the calligraphy examination room, he unexpectedly met the tall and thin boy who "joined hands to divide the award."
"Huh? You are really a student."
The tall and thin boy looked at Lu Li with a bit of disdain, "You made a wrong choice for the calligraphy competition. With me, you have no chance."
"Oh!"
Lu Li smiled, "It's okay! I have applied for all four competitions. If the net is bigger, there will be more opportunities."
"Uh……"
The tall and thin man frowned. It turns out that you are here to try your luck? Talking to you degrades my status! I'm too lazy to talk to you!
Lu Li was also happy and quiet.
After a while, the invigilator enters the room, distributes papers, and announces the test questions.
Unlike the competition in Yucheng, this provincial competition has more examination content. Calligraphy should be written in two or more fonts and three to four calligraphy works.
Lu Li chose a regular script, an official script and a running script.
Still the same routine. Lu Li took out the inkstone again and started grinding ink. Calm and relaxed, calm and unhurried, the posture is still very elegant.
"Pretending to be!"
The tall and thin man next to him saw Lu Li Momo's posture and snorted disdainfully, but he thought to himself: This guy is not good at it, he can be forced!
Such a calm and elegant posture is really a waste of putting it on him. Only in a genius like me can we complement each other.
Lu Li didn't know that someone was going to "plagiarize" his compulsion.
While grinding the ink, nourish the energy and gain momentum. After finishing the draft, Lu Li's momentum had reached its peak. Only then did Lu Li spread out the rice paper and began to write.
A set of regular script banners, Lu Li wrote, "Be indifferent to express aspirations, and tranquil to reach far."
The writing is very subtle, like an abyss cold pool, calm and deep.
In the official script, Lu Li wrote "The topography is Kun, gentlemen carry things with virtue!"
This painting is thick and heavy, vast and majestic, reflecting the profound meaning of the earth.
In the final running script, Lu Li wrote, "Flying down three thousand feet, it is suspected that the Milky Way falls for nine days."
The running script is elegant, but it goes down with a flying stream, and the air of flying a thousand miles away.
After writing the three characters, Lu Li affixed his seal, immediately packed his things, and raised his hand to hand in the paper.
The tall and thin man next to him saw this scene and sneered in disdain. Every word in the calligraphy should be carefully considered. Three characters are finished so soon? It really is a scum.
The calligraphy competition is over, and the afternoon is Chinese painting.
The Chinese painting competition also has more content than the city competition in Yucheng, requiring two paintings. Choose from two painting styles including ink, heavy and shallow, light crimson, fine brushwork, freehand brushwork, and line drawing.
The theme is optional, and it can be any of the themes such as landscape, characters, flowers and birds.
Lu Li drew an ink landscape and a meticulous figure~EbookFREE.me~ The ink landscape painting was still in Bifengxia in his hometown. The meticulous figure... Lu Li painted the head teacher Lao Xu.
On the second day of the sketch, the provincial competition played new tricks, and the examination room was like a movie set, directly in the Republic of China.
A group of graceful beautiful models wearing cheongsam posing in the room.
Are you not afraid that these beauties distract the examinees?
Lu Li smiled, picked up a pen and drew this Republican scene.
The oil painting in the afternoon is more fresh. The examination room was moved outside, and the invigilator pointed to a road lined with platanus trees on both sides of the cultural and sports center, with the word "painted"!
Are you not afraid of the candidate catching a cold?
Lu Li tightened the down jacket on his body, sighed, and moved his fingers...to dry it!
The two-day competition is over, just waiting for results!
