Chapter 18 sequence

Famous American artist and educator Liu Yong successfully raised a pair of sons and daughters. His son received a doctorate from Harvard, and his daughter won the Bush Presidential Award. This book should be written for her and taught her. Today, on your way back from learning the violin, I suggest you listen to the cd of the master's performance more, and imitate it bar by bar. You glared at the time and said why did you imitate others, you are you and have your own ideas. Although your attitude is not good enough, I am not angry because I think that I am the same as you at your age.

At that time, I had studied traditional Chinese painting for more than a year, and I started to create by myself. I remember very clearly that my favorite painting was the scenery with rural huts in the foreground and clouds and mist in the distance.I weave clouds back and forth like a net, which is too average and really not very clever, so even your grandmother doesn't appreciate it.But when she blamed me why I didn't copy the teacher's drawing, I replied to her very unhappy like you today: "Because I am me, I have my own ideas." That's right!Regardless of painting, composition, performance, or composition, every art emphasizes "originality". Even industrial products such as televisions, refrigerators, and automobiles must create their own brands. hand "into

"door", learn little by little, and only after laying the foundation can you create? To learn painting, you must practice sketching first. Sketching is not imitating plaster statues, Still life these rigid things?To learn to play, you must first practice scale, one note at a time, like a lame dog, that is another How rigid?Also, which writer has never been a student who endorsed, silently wrote, and wrote weekly diaries; which elementary school student has never been a student Learn to write new characters in textbooks with one stroke?Even lions, tigers and birds have to learn from their parents. How do they learn?They are from games,

Fight and imitate middle school. When I was your age, I once read an article. I forgot the title and content, but I only remembered one sentence-"Teacher, friend, and enemy." It means that we have to learn from the teacher at first. I'm almost capable , we can treat the person who taught us as a friend and discuss with him; as for going further, we can surpass the teacher, even compete with the teacher and debate with the teacher.When I was typing yesterday, didn’t I ask you how to spell a sound?I taught you your pinyin, so why should I ask you? It's very simple, because your Chinese level is high, but my memory is poor, so I have to ask you for advice.But, when you think back, didn’t you still learn stroke by stroke from me only five or six years ago?That's not imitation, what is?

The Chinese often say, "Walk far to be near, climb high and feel inferior", which means that if you want to travel thousands of miles, you have to start from the short distance. Start; even if you climb a thousand-ren high mountain, you have to start from a low place.If the foundation is not laid well, it is impossible to have high achievements. As I said earlier, when I was a child, I also wanted to get rid of the constraints of the teacher early and express myself completely.However, I "had to" follow the professor's instructions to copy ancient works. Although I was unwilling and reluctant at first, I gradually discovered many things that I didn't understand before from the dry and wet shades, stroke by stroke of imitation.Faced with the color of the "template", in order to copy it, I had to ask "how did he mix it?" So I tried bit by bit, groping through mistakes, and realized many new things.

In the same way, when you listen to the performance of famous masters today, "pure appreciation" is one thing. When you listen to each section repeatedly, you will realize more small places.You can even think about why the masters are stronger here, and why they don’t seem to follow the rules there; along this road, you can even talk to and make friends with those masters.Just like when I was copying, I found "Oh! It turns out that the master had to change to the side because of a wrong stroke in the previous stroke, but the correction was really skillful and wonderful!" Do you want to have a deeper understanding and find a lot of creative fun in imitation?

child!The more people who want to travel, the more they have to prepare their bags; the more people want to create, the more they have to lay the foundation; the more talented people, the more they have to endure and learn, like an airplane, first keep on gliding on the ground, gliding!slide!And then—fly to the sky!
