Chapter Twenty-Nine: Abandoning Martial Arts and Pursuing Literature and Devoted Himself to Art
Interest is the best teacher. - Albert Einstein
Although I started "training" early in the morning, I was fortunate to go to bed early every night, which did not cause my lack of sleep to affect my performance. Han Song is different, although he also goes to bed early and gets up early every day like me, but unlike me who just gets up early every day to sparring and sparring, he trains hard every morning, so he often hears the teacher call him by name in class, and every time he looks back at him, he is lying on the table. Sometimes it's sleepy-eyed and dazed, sometimes it's not even wake-up by the teacher's name, and it always depends on the teacher's "chalk head" and the "iron elbow" at the same table to wake up, and it's really a bit like Sakuragi.
The teacher arranged for me to do "ideological work" for him more than once, and I should have dissuaded him as a class leader or a golfer and let him focus on studying, but I really felt that he was different from me and was really talented, so I still practiced with him every day. At that time, the country didn't pay much attention to basketball, the province didn't pay much attention to basketball, and the school didn't even pay attention to basketball, and the school didn't even have a basketball team, but even if there were, it wouldn't be our turn to be in the first grade, so until now, I haven't seen Han Song show his skills. I hope he can get his wish, but there really isn't much in life that can make people wish.
insisted on getting up early and greedy for a month, I really couldn't stand it, and told Han Song that I would stop doing it and let him be a "slam dunk" himself. Because I found a special class that was more fun, but not too physically demanding - art.
Our lower grades are not very important, so the school arranges for students below the third grade to choose at least one specialty class, which is arranged in the last two classes in the afternoon every day, and students who do not have special classes study on their own under the care of the class teacher. Because there is no limit to the number, so the teacher asked me to apply for a special class when I signed up for a bunch of them, of course, this also caused me to run between classrooms every afternoon, today's art classroom, tomorrow's math classroom.
The three major subjects of English, composition, and Olympiad (1) are indispensable, but I think it's more like a cram school than a specialty class. In addition to what I usually learn in class, the teacher will talk about some phonetic transcription grammar and other things that I don't talk about in class, so I am afraid that the average student will not understand it, so I don't talk about it, in fact, I am not much interested in these, and my mother has to let me sign up; Composition is the use of some rhetorical devices, detailed descriptions and other intensive training, usually the teacher talks about what metaphors and anthropomorphic comparisons in class I am familiar with, so this interest class is more like giving me the performance time to read my composition on stage; As for the Olympiad, it is relatively interesting, I will do some problems that I don't usually see, like IQ test questions, I like to solve such problems the most, before I don't know the Olympiad, although the teacher thinks it's useless, but I always try to make several solutions to a problem, which is used for entertainment.
As for the other specialty classes, there are not as many people who sign up for the three major subjects, and it is estimated that the parents' "useless teaching in addition to the main subject" has been deeply rooted, although my mother also said so, but I still feel that the three specialty classes are not much pressure for me, and they are not any specialties.
So I secretly signed up for a calligraphy class and an art class, and it happened that these two skills were the same: they both used pen, ink, paper, and inkstone as the basis of tools, and lines as the means of expression, injecting their own understanding into art. After all, I gave up calligraphy, so let's talk about art first.
At the beginning, my impression of art was the first book I read at the beginning of school, painting more words and less words, no one was rare, when I was in art class, no one listened to what the old man of the art teacher said, everyone thought that art class was playing with watercolor pencil plasticine, so I was probably the only one in the class who expressed something in the painting and was not a novice graffiti. That's why my art teacher often praised me in class. The more he praised me, the more serious I became, so I didn't hesitate to choose art when I chose my specialty, just to have one more afternoon of art class every week.
The school does not have a separate studio, so we have to run to the school cafeteria every Friday afternoon, which is our temporary studio, a few children around the round table for dinner, with the edge of the table to support the drawing board, and start to draw some watercolor paintings that are usually asked to draw in class, so that the teacher can get a general idea of what level we are.
After that, he began to teach us some stick figures, and the teacher was like two people, usually sitting there after arranging the theme in class, but when he arrived at the special class, he went straight around the table, instructed and guided this person to change the color, revise and revise the person's pencil draft, and was very busy. In this way, a few of us were immersed in the sea of colors, and experienced the joy that others could not understand.
Art is a slow job, easy to show, but difficult to perform. What are the activities in the class, you learn vocal music, you can sing a song; If you learn a musical instrument, you can play a song. At this time, if I go on stage to draw a painting, I guess the audience will be dismissed. I'm the only one in my class who studies art, so the teacher assigned me a glorious and arduous task - a board newspaper at the back of the classroom.
