Rebirth 07: Start adding points from elementary school students

Chapter 88 You've Learned It
"I know a little bit, it's just a little hobby." Li Yan smiled and started posing directly.

People who like painting feel extremely fulfilled at the moment they put pen to paper. They paint a world and watch their creations gradually emerge on a piece of white paper. It is truly wonderful.

So from the first stroke, Lin Heng and Li Yan both entered a state of concentration, using their sight and emotions to feel the scene in front of them and paint with their hands.

It can be said that he is completely focused.

As early as the first class, Teacher Zhong introduced Lin Heng, an award-winning painter, to the students. Although everyone was not very familiar with him, they were all sketching and wanted to observe the master painting.

Halfway through the painting, both those who could draw and those who couldn't had made some progress. Many students with a good foundation also showed their talents. Everyone started to communicate with each other, but because Lin Heng was far away, they didn't dare to move around.

"Teacher Zhong has been standing over there. Is it okay for us to go over there?"

Someone among the students said something, and then everyone walked around, looking at each other, and naturally came behind Lin Heng.

什么？还有高手？

Two highly completed paintings, whose overall effect was a dimensionality reduction blow to the other students in Class Zero, suddenly appeared before their eyes.

The gap was so obvious that those who had just been the leaders among their classmates felt overshadowed and hid their paintings behind them.

For laymen who are just watching the fun, it is obvious that these two paintings are much more beautiful. Although it is difficult to explain why, all we can do is to shout that they are awesome.

Experts can see the key points, and those with some basic painting skills can better understand the technical content of these two pictures.

The point is, everyone expected Lin Heng to be so good at painting, but how come Li Yan can catch up with him?

This is painting, not playing badminton!
What was even more shocking was that Teacher Zhong was standing behind the two of them, his eyes actually fixed on Li Yan.

With so many people surrounding them, even if they were concentrating on drawing, they would have reacted quickly. The two of them stopped drawing in tacit understanding, and it was just the end of the art class.

As soon as Li Yan put down his pen, he heard a "ding" sound in his mind.

[Painting +1, Level 49 skill, 100/]

Very comfortable.

Lin Heng just glanced at Li Yan's painting, and his expression began to get out of control.

"Oh my god...you are such a hidden talent, Yan."

He made no effort to hide his admiration for Li Yan's paintings and even neglected to control the facial expressions on this handsome face.

"Which one of you is from Lin Heng?" Teacher Zhong was puzzled.

"Me!" Lin Heng raised his hand.

"What about this one? Oh!" Teacher Zhong adjusted his glasses, a strange light flashing in his eyes, "I see, the only special student in Class Zero, right?"

"Yes, hello teacher, my name is Li Yan."

"I know, I know, Li Yan, the level of the art special recruitment is indeed high. This year's class zero is pretty good, two..."

"Teacher," Lin Heng corrected in a low voice, "He is a sports recruit."

“Oh, ah?” Teacher Zhong screamed, “Are the students this year so versatile?”

"I just found out how powerful he is." Lin Heng shook his head.

"Teacher, can you tell us what's good about their paintings?" Liang Tiancheng took the lead and shouted.

Several roommates joined in the fun, with Chen Fan dancing the most happily. Zhu Qinglun, on the other hand, did not dare to fire a single shot - these two guys... Li Yan secretly thought that when he got involved in psychology, he would use them as research subjects.

But at the moment, he was a little embarrassed, because suddenly a group of people gathered around the teacher to listen to how good he was at drawing. It really felt like being called to the podium to read his composition when he was a child.

The sense of drama is too strong and does not fit his pretentious aesthetic.

Everyone watched silently, sighed secretly, and then a few close friends sang some songs like "High Mountains and Flowing Water". Finally, the teacher finished watching and shook his head in self-deprecation and left. It was so beautiful.

"Both students' paintings are excellent. Who do you think is better?"

What the hell? Don't do this kind of thing, teacher. Mr. Li has no plans to steal the show today! "Lin Heng's painting is too realistic!"

“Yes, very detailed!”

“And it feels like the shape is close to what you see with your naked eyes.”

“Perfect restoration!”

Everyone was talking at once but in an orderly manner and expressing their opinions, but the roommates in Room 403 were smart enough to keep silent.

“But Li Yan’s is more artistic.”

It was a female voice, and it came from the cold beauty Lin Zhengmo.

"Yes, this student said it very well and hit the point." Teacher Zhong clapped his hands.

It’s over. This person stole the show. Li Yan didn’t even dare to look at Lin Heng’s expression.

"When we sketch, we need to capture both the form and the spirit. The landscape itself is just some emotionless objects. When we combine them and find the right angle, they have a soul and artistic conception." Teacher Zhong looked up at the sky and talked eloquently.

“Restoration is a skill, but if it is just restoration, it will lack some fun. Many people ask what is the difference between realistic painting and taking photos. Of course there is a difference. Taking photos also requires finding the angle, not just recording.

“This is why there is a difference between photographic works and tourist photos. In addition to having good equipment and strong skills, the photographers’ pictures have emotions and soul.

"The same is true for painting. First of all, I must praise Lin Heng. His basic skills are very strong. He draws very quickly, the shapes are very accurate, and the details are also very good. As everyone said, the restoration is perfect."

Li Yan also expressed her approval, saying that Lin Heng's performance was at an excellent level for a professional graduate.

Fast, accurate and steady, these are the abilities most needed in art exams.

Eh? This sentence... was what the teacher said about Li Yan in his art class at university.

"Li Yan's paintings don't have as many details as Lin Heng's, but the degree of completion is similar or even higher. This is because Li Yan added a lot of subjective expression."

Everyone listened very attentively.

"Let's look at this pavilion. It doesn't have any exquisite carved beams or painted buildings. It's very simple. What's so beautiful about it?"

Everyone was silent. I guess the students didn't think the pavilion was pretty either.

"The beauty lies in his imagery. The curvature of the pavilion's corners is beautiful, and it contrasts beautifully with the sky behind and the poinciana tree that slightly blocks the pavilion.

"Li Yan's painting emphasizes the arc, the blocking relationship of the royal poinciana, and the blank space in the sky. These are consistent with our subjective feelings about this 'scenery', which is very good."

What Teacher Zhong just mentioned also troubled Li Yan for a while before his rebirth. He has always been good at "restoration", but after drawing too much, he felt like a technician.

Later, when he went to university, he met an art teacher of sufficient level. His sensibility, freedom, and precision opened up his Ren and Du meridians, and gave him a new understanding of painting. His painting skills and expression reached a new level.

I didn't expect that Teacher Zhong would put forward these opinions in just the first sketching session in junior high school. The level of New Taipei No. 1 High School is indeed high.

However, I didn't expect that he should still be struggling with this in junior high school before his rebirth. Now he really can't remember all the new expression techniques he researched in college, but his emotional memory of painting has been preserved, which allows him to return to his original nature.

Oh my god, you still have some bugs in the memory blockade that you can exploit.

"Lin Heng, your skills are already very outstanding among your peers, but you lack the spirituality of Li Yan. You should learn more from him if you have the chance."

You're adding fuel to the fire, teacher.

"Li Yan, where did you study before? Who was your teacher?"

This question... Li Yan was helpless. If the teacher had asked "Have you learned this?" he could have fooled the question, but asking such a detailed question would be less effective than telling the truth.

“I haven’t learned it.”

I've just added fuel to the fire.
