Chapter 226: New task, new goal

"If it weren't for Old Han's guidance, I wouldn't understand it."
Lu Li said this honestly. If it weren't for Old Han's guidance and let Lu Li explore it by himself, I don't know how long it will take to realize the realm of "reducing implicitly and returning to the basics".
Of course, Lu Li's current "expert"-level calligraphy is just "subtle convergence". When it reaches the "return to nature", it is a "master" level.
Calligraphy has been upgraded, and Chinese paintings that are connected with it will soon be upgraded. The upgrading of Chinese painting can drive the upgrading of sketching and oil painting.
For Lu Li, visiting Mr. Han this time was a huge gain.
"Pointing is only one aspect, mainly yourself."
Old Han looked at Lu Li, just like looking at a treasure, "Your talent in art is really jealous!"
"Old Han, I have two more works. I would like to ask you for advice."
Lu Li didn't dare to go deep into the topic of "talent". It was just the effect of opening up. What's the problem with talent?
"Okay! I want to see your other works too."
Old Han nodded with a smile, and returned to the living room with Lu Li.
After sitting down on the sofa again, Lu Li opened the beautifully carved mahogany box and presented it to Old Han.
Inside the box is an inkstone.
This inkstone was the black gallstone inkstone polished by Lu Li during the summer vacation.
"Old Han, I carved this inkstone. Please give me some pointers."
Lu Li pointed to the inkstone in the box, and said to Old Chao Han.
"Oh? You carved it yourself?"
A shock flashed in Old Han's eyes, and he quickly reached out and took out the inkstone.
"Appraising a piece of inkstone is generally appreciated from four aspects: form, quality, sound and rhyme."
Old Han explained to Lu Li, stretched out his fingertips, fumbled for a while on the inkstone, and nodded slightly: "It is finely carved and exquisite in appearance. It is delicate and smooth, with good texture. The shape and quality are pretty good."
After finishing speaking, Old Han put the inkstone in his hand again, held his five fingers empty, and flicked his right finger, "The sound is like a chime, and it is clearer and more melodious, which is not bad."
Finally, Old Han put the inkstone on the coffee table and said to Lu Li, "Your carving technique is very superb."
Old Han took a look at Lu Li and smiled: "At your age, being able to practice your hand skills to this level is already amazing."
"Old Han praised!"
Lu Li smiled and replied: "I just watched some videos of getting started in carving on the Internet, and I groped for it myself."
"Look at the video, did you practice it by yourself?"
A touch of shock flashed in Old Han's eyes, "I can practice to this level by myself? You... it's hard to imagine! I thought you learned from which stone carving master!"
"I just have better learning ability!"
Lu Li smiled and shook his head, "The talent is still average."
Are you fairly talented? How do others live?
Old Han's mouth twitched a few times.
After a pause, Old Han said, "Lu Li, you are a self-taught sculpture by watching videos online, so...the craftsmanship is a bit more important."
Pointing at the inkstone, Old Han said: "Take this inkstone as an example. When chiseling the inkstone, you should follow its natural texture. It is natural and self-contained. You have carved this inkstone very beautifully and exquisitely. However. , The axe is slightly heavier, and the charm is a little weaker."
"It's natural and self-contained. That's it!"
Lu Li suddenly realized.
When sculpting this inkstone, Lu Li first composed the picture and then sculpted it according to the composition, but he did not compose the picture according to the texture of the stone. This was too heavy.
Sculpture is not simply about whether the knife skills are exquisite, but also about the charm. Without spirit, no matter how exquisite skills are, only craftsmen can become an artist with spirit.
This is also "shape" and "god" in a sense.
Lu Shilitou has realized that he still needs the guidance of a famous teacher! Working behind closed doors is not enough.
"Thank you Old Han for your advice!"
Lu Li thanked him again, and then took out the last "present" from the mahogany box.
This is a clay sculpture "Tiger Standing on the Hill".
On a mountain ridge, a tiger roars up to the sky, and the tiger is standing on the hill, domineering and awe-inspiring.
"This is... sculpture? Are you even so good at sculpture?"
Old Han glanced at Lu Li deeply, feeling dumbfounded.
The calligraphy has become so perfect, no worse than the average calligrapher. Painting and calligraphy are not divided into families, and the calligraphy is so good, the painting is naturally not bad.
Just now I took out another stone-carved inkstone. Although it was a little bit axious, it was also exquisite and profound.
Now... Have you come up with another sculpture?
Calligraphy, painting, sculpture, and sculpture, the four skills go hand in hand. This kind of talent is no longer what a genius can describe.
Enchanting! The talent is so enviable!
If the old man is twenty years younger, I am afraid he will really be jealous, right?
Old Han sighed secretly, and reached out and picked up Lu Li's clay sculpture "Tiger Standing on the Hill".
"Shape and have, lifelike."
Seeing this clay sculpture work, Mr. Han nodded in admiration, "It shows the vigor and charm of the tiger to the fullest, very good! Very good!"
Compared to sculptures that almost went the wrong way, Lu Li's clay sculpture works were very successful.
Putting down the clay sculpture in his hand, Old Han raised his eyes to look at Lu Li, and said with a smile: "I like these gifts very much, but I am disrespectful."
"This is the homework for the teacher!"
Lu Li smiled, and stretched out his hand to take out a bamboo tea cup from the bag, "Old Han, this is the real gift. The tea is Mengding Mountain Bamboo Leaf Green. Please accept it."
"Since you are a teacher, you don't have to call old Han!"
Old Han took a deep look at Lu Li, his eyes filled with expectation and appreciation.
"Okay, teacher!"
How could Lu Li still not understand the meaning of these words? This clearly means "accepting disciples".
Lu Li hurriedly got up, and Old Chao Han bowed, "Lu Li pays homage to the teacher!"
"Good! Good!"
Old Han was full of joy and stretched out his hand to support Lu Li, "Get up!"
The gossip about the closed disciple was originally a rumor. Now, Mr. Han was very pleased and happily accepted the student Lu Li.
"This gift is an apprenticeship."
Old Han reached out his hand and picked up the carved bamboo tea caddy, smiled and nodded, "Good carving! Where did it come from?"
"The tea caddy was carved by myself."
Lu Li explained with a smile, "The skill is crude, just laughed."
"You also learned bamboo carving?"
Old Han was full of shock, and looked down at the exquisite "Bright Moon Illuminates the Great River" relief on the bamboo tube, and his exclamation was beyond words.
This kid Lu Li...I don't know how much he has!
"Exquisite carvings, profound artistic conception."
Old Han was full of joy, "Mengding Mountain's bamboo leaves are green, the taste of hometown is quiet and timeless, and the aftertaste is long. Very good, very good! I love this gift!"
"You like it!"
Lu Li smiled, "It's just a little shabby, not respectful."
"no no!"
Old Han smiled and shook his head, "This is the truly meaningful gift."
Putting down the tea canister in his hand, Old Han looked at Lu Li again and said, "With your current ability, it is difficult to improve your skills in college classes. I will give you a task, how about exercise?"
"Ok!"
Lu Li nodded quickly.
"The last time I went back to Xichuan, I took a request."
Old Han picked up a folder from the sofa next to him, reached out and handed it to Lu Li, "Xichuan Provincial City is going to undergo an old city transformation and is preparing to build a cultural square. Please help them design a large sculpture. I am old and lack energy. You have done this, can you try it?"
"what?"
Lu Li was taken aback, "Teacher, this topic... is a bit big!"
I just entered the university gate, so you asked me to design a large-scale theme sculpture for a provincial city?
"Exercise!"
Old Han smiled and pointed to the clay sculpture "Tiger on the hill" on the coffee table, and said, "Aren't your sculptures well done? Have confidence in yourself. This is an exam! If you pass, you will Come to my graduate school."
"what?"
Lu Li was taken aback again, "I just entered university, can I go to graduate school?"
"Of course not now!"
Old Han smiled, "At least you have to wait for your undergraduate graduation."
Having said that, Old Han pointed to the folder in Lu Li's hands, "If you make this large-scale theme sculpture well, this result will be enough to save you from studying for graduate school."
"Okay! Let me try!"
Lu Chengtou had already had an idea and nodded quickly.
Undergraduates can also graduate early. For theoretical courses, I only need to spend some time reading the books, and for practical courses... My skill level has already surpassed the undergraduate level.
After graduating from a bachelor's degree a year later, then come to Han Lao's graduate student, so that we can truly become Han Lao's closed disciple.
"This theme sculpture design, you can complete it in this semester!"
Han Lao took a look at Lu Li and smiled: "The sculpture design on the theme of Xichuan Province must have been submitted to all major art academies across the country. I don’t ask you to beat everyone, but Xichuan Province will choose your design. As long as you can be selected, even if you pass."
"Hmm! I will try my best!"
Lu Li nodded seriously. Since we must do it, we must do our best. The goal must be to win. As for whether you can win in the end, you can only do your best.
...
After leaving Han's home, Lu Li went straight to the library.
Lu Li is a freshman and has no library card yet. However, just because he was a freshman, the librarian let him in.
After finding a place in the library to sit down, Lu Li looked through the document carefully.
"To create a city's business card, it must not only reflect the city's cultural landscape, but also show the characteristics of the times?"
After reading this manuscript, Lu Li's eyes widened, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
This topic... is really too big!
Xichuan has a long history, and the most famous humanistic subject must be the Three Kingdoms. Taking the theme of the Three Kingdoms as the city's business card is more widely known and a stronger sense of identity.
But... how does the theme of the Three Kingdoms show the characteristics of the times?
Let Liu Guanzhang memorize the "core values ​​of socialism" together?
That picture appeared in his mind, causing the corners of Lu Li's mouth to twitch fiercely.
Liu Guanzhang is not good, Zhuge Liang is not good either.
I am afraid that this design needs to pay more attention to "the characteristics of the times" rather than history and humanities.
The knowledge is still not enough, and I can't figure out this thing yet.
Lu Li closed the folder and fixed his eyes on the various books in the library. Charge it first! At least brush up the theoretical knowledge of plastic art design.
Taking out his mobile phone, Lu Li opened the web page to inquire about the theoretical knowledge needed for sculpture.
Chinese and foreign art history, three-dimensional composition, transmission of relief and architectural murals, urban landscape and sculpture, sculpture materials and application, sculpture engineering production...
A series of professional books appeared before Lu Li's eyes.
Well, read the book first!
Lu Li let out a long sigh and got up to look for a book.
I picked up a professional textbook and flipped through it all the way. I kept seeing the evening, when it was time for dinner, Lu Li got up.
After going to the cafeteria for a meal, Lu Li returned to the library and continued reading.
"Classmates, we are going to close!"
At the reminder of the librarian, Lu Li realized that he had already read and saw ten thirty in the evening.
"Okay! I'm leaving now."
Lu Li quickly got up, put the book back on the shelf, and hurried out of the library.
Behind him, the librarian looked at the figure of Lu Lili away and smiled, "This freshman is a bit interesting. When I first entered school, I went to the library. I'm afraid it's not a student bully?"
"It's really a schoolmaster!"
A student cadre who assisted with library management replied with a smile: "His name is Lu Li, and he is the top student in the college entrance examination this year."
"So it's him! No wonder, no wonder!"
The librarian was full of admiration, "No wonder he scored so high on the test. This learning attitude and spirit of learning is really admirable! Such a learning attitude should be promoted and promoted."
"I just took a lot of pictures of him reading a book, and when I go back, I will post it to the campus network to promote it. Let everyone learn from him!"
The student cadre next to him replied with a smile.
...
Lu Li didn't know that he had become a role model for others.
When I returned to the dormitory, the other three dorm brothers were setting up their laptops and "cracking" non-stop.
"Grass! I'm dead!"
"Second, stop, that idiot is going to run!"
"You have control skills! Grass! Use skills!"
The three guys are playing games happily.
"What game do you play?"
Lu Li walked into the dormitory and greeted the three of them.
"League of legends!"
The boss Wang Kai answered casually, and began to roar again: "Grass! Lost! This one is lost!"
"Huh? Fourth, are you back?"
Zhou Qianhe, the third child next to him, raised his head and glanced at Lu Li, "I haven't seen anyone for a whole day, where have you been?"
"Oh, I'm bored, go to the library and sit down!"
Lu Li answered casually.
As soon as the voice fell, the three guys who were playing games were shocked and turned their heads to look over.
"Fuck! The library on the first day of the report~EbookFREE.me~ I finally know how you got a perfect score." Boss Wang Kai exclaimed.
"and so……"
The second child Zhang Zhiwen raised his eyes to the boss, "Are we still playing games?"
"Why don't you play? If you have to learn, you have to learn tomorrow. What else can you do without playing games now?"
"It makes sense!"
So, the three guys crackled and played the game again.
At this time, a top post appeared on the campus network.
"The first day of Xueba's report, I went to the library. The top scorer in the college entrance examination tells you that you should study as early as possible!"
The following series of replies: Learn the overlord, the horror!
"People who are more talented than me work harder than me! So...what's the point of my hard work?"
"Sincerely!"
