as you meet

"Students, after three months of study, we have finally come to the last few classes. Before this class starts, I would like to ask if you have submitted your artworks to be analyzed in the next class?"

"Submit it!" Several female students in the front row said in unison.

"Oh? Have you already chosen?"

"Yes! Many of us have selected Western works, and Professor Song has to correct them." A bolder girl sitting in the middle said.

Song Shihe smiled in a low voice, waved his hand and said:

"Everyone is a classmate who is very considerate of the teacher. It's okay, you can choose your favorite works to analyze, don't worry about the amount of my corrections."

"Okay, let's start today's class."

"Wen Tong's "Bamboo" mentioned in the class before, I believe everyone still has an impression. That painting is Wen Tong's thoughts, such as the love and appreciation of bamboo, and the integration of bamboo itself."

"We also mentioned before that this painting shows naturalness, which means that in addition to appreciating the painter's exquisite brushwork skills, we should also pay attention to the artist's self in the painting. It is created by the artist's emotional quality, This painting is made according to the artist's idea, the purpose is to show his understanding of bamboo while also containing the reveal of his personality. There is a correlation between brushwork and thought, we think it is bamboo because the artist uses exquisite It can be shown with exquisite brushstrokes and exquisite brushwork, but at the same time we can also know that this is from the author's thinking."

"What does it mean to see the artist's naturalness through a painting? For example, Su Shi is Wen Tong's friend. He said that Wen Tong is obsessed with bamboo and is a bamboo lover. So when he looked at this painting, He will see his friend Wen Tong. This is the so-called self-expression, naturalness."

"Then let's look at Su Shi's same bamboo and stone-themed paintings. These unusual, strange-looking, inelegant, delicate and weird rocks and trees, even with curled branches, are somewhat distorted. , there are some small bamboos on the rocks. The whole painting looks clumsy, without the fineness and beauty of classicism at all. But Su Shi himself does not pursue to paint well, he just follows his heart, he likes to paint, so he paints , rather than painting for the sake of painting real bamboo. It’s a very different way of making art, and Su Shi was not at all interested in making the image look real and elegant.”

"The painting is unbalanced, unsatisfactory, and is moving away from the pursuit of realism as the reason and meaning of the painting to the naturalism that mainly expresses the heart."

"Su Shi didn't need to sell paintings, he just painted because he liked it. He was independent and didn't think he had to obey the nobles or paint for other people. It was a way to liberate the mind, he was uncontrolled, the mind It just came out of his mind, and the painting is purely about the thoughts that come out of his head."

"Before class is over, I want to tell my classmates one thing. Because something happened at home, I have to rush back to City Y first. I will record teaching videos for the remaining few classes and hand them over to the tutor. This matter It will not affect the class time of the students, as long as everyone comes here at the same time, the tutor will be responsible for explaining and playing the video.”

As soon as Song Shihe finished speaking, there was a burst of commotion underneath.Shi Yu immediately grabbed Ji Yusheng's hand and reminded him to listen carefully.

"Huh? Is this Professor Song's last class?"

"No more stories to listen to."

Song Shihe comforted his classmates and said:

"I will also carefully correct your homework, don't worry. So I hope you can still come to class on time, and the project our tutor is studying is related to oriental art. He also knows a lot about oriental art. I believe Everyone can learn a lot from him.”

"Finally, I would like to say something before I leave. First of all, thank you for choosing this three-month temporary course. Although this course does not count towards your graduation credits, I am very grateful to most of the students for always attending classes on time. Participate in the discussion very actively. Many students who are studying in the art department also came to chat with me and told me about your difficulties and wishes you hope to achieve. In fact, not only studying art, but any subject will have its own difficulties. Of course, art may You are no longer recognized by society like lawyers or accountants, and you may encounter more difficulties, but please believe that what you do is meaningful, and art is necessary for society.”

"Human beings survive, art is immortal."

Song Shihe finally concluded with a short sentence, which made some students' eyes turn red, especially Ji Yusheng.

People who are always being blamed just need to be affirmed by someone that what they do is meaningful, then everything is worth it, and they have the courage to do everything.

These words, whenever Ji Yusheng is suffocated by reality and just wants to give up, will illuminate his heart and support him to go through.

"Professor Song, can we visit you in City Y in the future?" A girl asked while leaning on the podium with her chin in her hands.

"Okay, I will take everyone to see the art exhibition then."

"Ah~~~ To go to the art exhibition, shouldn't we take us to eat some delicious food first?" The girl lying on the podium pouted and said.

"Hey, we are artists, aren't you full from looking at the paintings?"

"Haha, the painting is not the point. She probably wants to go to the bakery to meet his lover, just like Raphael." Some students joked.

"Oh~~~~ handsome steaming hot guy in the bakery~~~"

"Hahaha what metaphor is that?"

"Tsk! What nonsense! Go away!" The girl patted the table and retorted loudly.

"Hahaha"

Because it was the last class, the students all knew that they might not have the chance to meet Song Shihe again, so the whole podium was packed with people after class, and Ji Yusheng planned to sit quietly in his seat and wait.

"Shengsheng, it's the last class. Aren't you going to say goodbye to Professor Song? Obviously you can chat like that." Shi Yu felt that the students rushed forward but Ji Yusheng stayed where he was, so he poked Ji Yusheng, a little asked strangely.

"Ah, no...no..."

Ji Yusheng originally wanted to pack up his things pretending nothing had happened, but who knew that he had already packed up already, grabbed the empty table, and said embarrassingly:

"Mr. Song is a very nice person, so everyone can chat with him very well."

"Hey, don't lie to me, Dr Watson told me!" Shi Yu said excitedly as he tightened the strap of his backpack and approached Ji Yusheng.

"Tell you what?" Ji Yusheng asked strangely.

"You went to look for him together, and the professor also said that the two of you seem to get along very well, and asked me about your relationship." Shi Yu also emphasized, "I told him that it should be a very close relationship."

"What... what?" Ji Yusheng backed away instantly, looking at Shi Yu in panic, but he accidentally hit Shi Yu's ear, Shi Yu's facial features twisted and screamed in pain, and then covered his ears.

"I'm sorry, did I hurt you?"

Shi Yu covered his ears and waved to say that it was all right, then patted his shoulder and pulled him closer and said:

"It's okay, I knew it when you first met."

"Know what?" Ji Yusheng asked in a panic.He also didn't quite understand why he was nervous now, he had nothing to do with Mr. Song, why his heart was beating so fast like a bird being pricked by a needle.

Shi Yu leaned into his ear and said:

"You like Professor Song!"

Ji Yusheng stepped back instantly, blushing and said:

"what are you saying?"

Do you like it?I don’t have a very strong desire, I don’t want to drink with him upside down day and night, I don’t want to smoke like smoke with him, I don’t want to go to nightclubs with him to dance, but I want Mr. Song to be like a fallen leaf in the sun and breeze I want to kiss him more, I want Mr. Song to embrace him like the sea embraces the sunset, I want to see the scenery of the four seasons with Mr. Song, I want to do all the things that nature is doing with him.Does that count as a "like"?Is this "love"?

Seeing Ji Yusheng's reaction, Shi Yu had an expression of "I understand, I understand" on his face, and with a subtle smile, he moved closer and said:

"Hey, are you embarrassed to say goodbye to Professor Song? It's okay!" Shi Yu patted Ji Yusheng on the back, "I'll go with you, don't be afraid, young man, I'll go with you!" Pushing Ji Yusheng to the podium.

"Shi Yu, Shi Yu, wait, I'm not, I'm one by one," Ji Yusheng said while being pushed away.At this moment, he very much hopes that he can also have a brake like a car, which can be stopped with one step.

"Shi Yu!" Suddenly, a hurried voice interrupted them. Hearing this voice, both Shi Yu and Ji Yusheng's hearts sank.
