Xi Xi also had drawing lessons when she was in kindergarten. However, at that time, the teachers mainly focused on guiding her interest and didn't deliberately teach her some drawing skills. Yang Yi also didn't teach her.
However, when she was in primary school, the teachers who taught her drawing lessons were much more professional!
Just like those art students who majored in drawing in movies, the classroom where Xi Xi and the others learned watercolor painting was also a small movable table. They would then form a circle, and in the middle of the circle, there would be flowers and plants that the teacher had brought over for them to draw.
When they first started learning, the teacher would teach them how to use pencils to draw sketches, how to mix paints, and how to choose watercolor brushes with round ends, flat ends, or different sizes to color …
After they had a certain foundation, the teacher would also teach them how to compose a drawing, how to use shadows or transitional colors to reflect rich tones and more. Of course, in terms of techniques, the teacher would also briefly introduce them to different brushstrokes such as dry brushstrokes, wet brushstrokes, hook brushstrokes, sweep brushstrokes, and pause brushstrokes. These were only explained in real life.
After learning for two months, Xi Xi could be considered a beginner watercolor painter. Although she couldn't combine many different types of techniques to draw, the flowers and plants she drew were the most similar among the students in the class — at least, she had the correct outline.
Moreover, Xi Xi was very sensitive to colors. Even if it was the same red color, Xi Xi could always find a way to match it with other colors that looked better! If it was the rapid improvement in drawing, it might be because she had seen too much of her father's pencil drawings when she was young and had accumulated a foundation. However, the feeling for colors was completely innate to Xi Xi!
Even the teacher praised her endlessly for this little talent.
…
Today, Xi Xi's hyacinth pot of flowers was praised by the teacher.
"The teacher only praised three students. One is Jiang Lin, another is Wu Liangliang, and the last one is me. I'm the only one from the first grade!" Xi Xi had already told her father in the car. When she got home, she couldn't wait to take out her watercolor painting and ask her mother for praise.
"There are students from other grades in your class?" Murphy was a little surprised. "Aren't they also divided into classes according to their grades?"
Yang Yi smiled and explained, "It's not the same. Their painting class is only divided into three classes. They are divided according to their learning situation. There's an introductory class, an advancement class, and an advanced class!"
Of course, the entry class started from scratch. For example, Xi Xi was in the entry class, and the advanced class was after the entry class. The advanced class was a little special. The teachers would guide the children who had a certain painting foundation and teach them traditional Chinese painting or oil painting.
Generally speaking, the teachers of the advanced class would select some gifted children from the advanced class and invite them to continue their in-depth studies. It was not open to other children to apply.
Therefore, regardless of the age of the child, when they first signed up for the painting class, the teacher would arrange them into an introductory class or an advanced class based on their painting skills.
After listening to her father's explanation, Xi Xi nodded her little head and said seriously, "There's a sixth grade big brother in our class! But his painting is not as good as mine! "
Murphy took Xi Xi's painting and praised, "It's really not bad. The blue petals and brown stems, as well as the green leaves. The contrast is very clear!"
Yang Yi had not seen it in the car, so he went over to take a look.
To be honest, Xi Xi's painting was only at the introductory level.
If he wanted to find fault, he could not find too many! For example, the strokes were not smooth enough, the petals were crooked, the stems were not straight, and the leaves were thin while the other was fat. The proportions were uneven. Xi Xi's best colors also had many flaws. For example, the color of the petals she painted was the same. She did not use any overlaying or brightening techniques.
However, looking at Xi Xi's age, Yang Yi felt that she had already painted very well! At least, Xi Xi's painting was closer to the real thing, unlike other children's painting where all the flowers were big and round! Moreover, perhaps the little girl's brush strength was different. It looked like the same blue petals, but there were some changes in the depth. It looked like it was real!
"It's really good. Moreover, there are so many classmates, but the teacher still praised you. This shows that you are still working hard to learn! Continue to work hard! "Yang Yi rubbed Xi Xi's little head and smiled.
After receiving her father's praise, Xi Xi was even more happy like a little penguin. She swayed left and right and even threw herself on the sofa next to her mother, asking her mother to help her put away the painting.
Murphy had a habit of recording Xi Xi's growth. In addition to the routine photos, she kept every painting of Xi Xi's painting class in a large folder.
Yang Yi was about to prepare dinner, but Xi Xi suddenly remembered something that she forgot to mention in the car.
"PaPa, let me tell you!" The little girl ran over and took her father's hand. She looked up and said, "Today, I heard everything. Teacher Li said that she was going to Xin Er's house to play!"
"Ah? Go to Xin Er's house to play? "Yang Yi was a little surprised.
"Yes, Teacher Li said that Xin Er's PaPa and Mom were not at home on Saturday. I was going to your house, and then Xin Er said that her Mom was at home, so Teacher Li said that she would go to Xin Er's house to play!" Xi Xi vividly imitated the conversation between Li Ruolan and Lan Xin. Of course, she also added some of her own understanding. In the end, she pouted and said unhappily, "Teacher didn't even go to my house to play …"
"That's right. Why would Teacher Li suddenly want to go to Xin Er's house?" Yang Yi, who had never been to school in his previous life, and who had never been to school in this life, was also confused for a moment.
Murphy, who knew that Xi Xi misunderstood something, could not help but snicker. She did not intend to expose them yet. She quietly watched how Yang Yi and Xi Xi would discuss this matter.
"Yes, my grades are better than Xin Er's! Teacher Li doesn't even come to my house to play. " Xi Xi said unhappily, "Teacher Li is very nice. She will mend my clothes and teach us how to sing. PaPa, I also want Teacher Li to come to our house to play!"
"What's the problem?" Yang Yi smiled and said, "Xin Er's house is also here. Let's talk to Xin Er's mother. If Teacher Li comes, let her tell us. We can invite her to come and sit with us."
"Can we?" Xi Xi looked at her father expectantly with her big eyes shining.
"What's the problem? Yes, if you didn't mention it, I wouldn't have thought about it. Last time, Teacher Li helped you mend your clothes. We haven't thanked her yet. This time, we have to thank her in person. "Yang Yi smiled.
Murphy was stunned. She did not expect that the father and daughter would do such a thing!
If Teacher Li did not come to visit, others would be happy. You want to invite her halfway?
However, when Murphy heard this, she did not want to reveal the truth. She suddenly thought that it would be good to let the head teacher come to their house. She could ask about Xi Xi's situation at school, and also ask for advice on how to cooperate with the teacher better to educate the child.
At this moment, Xi Xi was thinking wildly, "On Saturday, Little Yu 'er, Sister Xiaowei, Qiqi, Shiyun, and Nan Zhaoyu will all come to my house to play. They must not know that Teacher Li will also come to our house to play!"
"Yes, don't tell them first. Give them a surprise!" Murphy said while holding back her laughter.
"Hee hee, okay!" Xi Xi said with joy.
