Chapter 321 Second Name: Nigel
"The official business is over," Manager Amabelle's expression became relaxed, "Then it's time for private matters."
"Anyway, it's all here, so it's better to deal with more things at once... isn't it?"
The male researcher laughed and said, "I guess what you want to ask is about children."
"You don't guess much, Alan."
Amabelle frowned, and asked earnestly, "I heard that your child was admitted to the Javon Church this year?"
"yes."
The male researcher named Allen spoke calmly, but his expression was clearly proud: "With a score of 82 in the comprehensive examination, you may be promoted to bishop within three years."
"Your child is only eighteen this year?"
"Nineteen, I just had my birthday last month."
"That's really congratulations..."
Amabile hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Your child is from Xihui, right? How is the teaching quality of the teachers at Xihui Academy of Fine Arts, and are the fees high?
"My child is about to enter school next year. She is only interested in music and art, and she also has a talent for synaesthesia. I think her natural depth of 'color' elements is more than 30%, and it would be good to be a painter."
"Xihui, what should I say..."
Allen thought for a while, and answered rigorously: "Xihui College is more focused on the direction of hard work. Even among all the integrated art colleges in the empire that offer basic classes and intensive classes, Xihui College, which was opened by Master Nigel himself, The college is also the most demanding.
"The criticisms from the instructors of the academy are so harsh that they may be 'close to Yawon's' level—all criticisms and almost no encouragement."
"...Although I think this may damage students' self-confidence, it is also a kind of teaching idea. As long as the teachers' criticism is fair enough, it will help them establish a solid enough aesthetic system."
Manager Amabelle frowned: "But in this case, is it true that there will be no children whose mentality has collapsed?"
"There must be."
Allen said with certainty: "Because Xihui Academy was not prepared for children who 'have a retreat' from the very beginning. Apart from the necessary common sense and skills, the rest is a large number of practice sheets, and the daily high-intensity drawing exceeds Eight hours...Of course, nutrition and rest are sufficient and will not hurt the body.
"And there is no need to worry about the professionalism of the teachers. For more than a hundred years, the teachers of Xihui College have been the bishops and cardinals of the Zhiji Church.
"Although Lord Nigel did not become the pope of the paper princess in the end, among the four students he personally taught in his later years, there were two popes of the paper girl, one cardinal of the paper girl, and one teacher of Yavon. Zong. So far, Zhi Ji Church still adheres to his old man's philosophy:
"——'Rationality and science are the brightest gems on the crown of civilization, and the fire of art brings the brightest light. It is because of art that people can see how much civilization has left behind since ancient times. great trace.'
"'And the fire of art has been passed down from generation to generation since ancient times... Because of this, the light will never dim. The fire of art can also warm others. We will never do cold art, but use our blood, sweat, Tears are used to pour fiery art and cultivate fiery artists.'”
"Sounds pretty good."
Manager Amabelle nodded after hearing the words: "Although I don't know much about art...but it seems to be quite reliable."
"Because Master Nigel was not outstanding at that time, and he did not receive a very good or professional education. At that time, painting was not considered a legitimate industry. He practiced on a part-time job...but in the end He taught four generations of famous painters.
"Not only taught painting skills, but also taught them how to be human, how to learn, and how to improve themselves. Each of his four students is the ancestor of a school. Their personalities and abilities are different, but each person's character Everyone can be respected as a master.
"I think it is also necessary to learn about being a human being."
Allen said here,
After thinking for a while, he added: "And... didn't you just ask me how much they charge?
"Then I can tell you that they don't charge."
"No charge?"
Amabelle was a little surprised, and quickly realized something: "In that case, can the students value this knowledge?"
"Because the situation is like this - the tuition itself is very expensive, but it doesn't need to be paid before entering the school. Then, when the tutors teach these students how to draw, the assignments themselves are not waste paper.
"After criticizing the mistakes they made, they will use the magical technique taught by Zhi Ji to judge how much heart and effort the children have put in, plus the bonus points for their thoughts and ideas... use a relative Compared with those waste papers, the price is many times more expensive. I bought these paintings from them. The money is enough to cover the tuition fees, and even subsidize them a lot of money.
"Although it is worthy of criticism in technology, it is worthy of encouragement in attitude-I think that's what they mean."
"That's good."
Amabile praised: "If it is only severe criticism, it may make them develop an overly utilitarian concept-that is, all paintings that are not good enough are rubbish. If they do not value their own works, they will naturally not Will value the work of others.
"This is actually encouraging them to 'survival of the fittest in art'. Of course, this is not a 'light of warmth'. But if they buy these paintings with their care, they can also make these children realize that every painting Paintings are valuable..."
"Yes, I thought so too."
Allen nodded again and again: "Because 'an artist's heart cannot be spoiled, let alone be underestimated, it is the crystallization of dreams, the blood of the heart, and the tears of a child'. My child said so to me.
"I heard that this matter was done by Zhi Ji a long time ago."
"...Paper Girl?"
Amabile was a little stunned: "Why do you let the gods do these things? Where did Zhi Ji get the money? Did you reimburse them directly?"
"No," Allen immediately denied, "I asked the same question. I wondered at the time whether this would foster inertia in people or destroy the market... But what surprised me was that Zhi Ji's method of making money , It's actually painting portraits for people.
"She traveled the world on foot, painting portraits of great people to earn money and support those poor painters. At that time, it was difficult for painters to eat enough, especially those newcomer painters who were not high enough but enthusiastic about art. Many of them are actually talented, but before they awakened their talents, they were stopped by the hammer of reality.
"It started with Master Nigel—he and his apprentices swore not to let Zhi Ji work so hard all the time. They took the initiative to take over this burden, and the bishops of the Zhi Ji Church were responsible for this matter.
"Train them in a formal way, teach them, and strictly supervise their practice, give them the best life... teach them to be self-reliant and self-reliant. Instead of letting the gods personally make money to support those new painters."
Allen said with emotion: "I think the best thing here is that these paintings will be stored. The money given to the students by the college is not a charity or a gift...but like a loan, which is more of a protection. students' self-esteem.
"When the students are well mixed in the future, they can be stored in the front of the college and bought back. As far as I know, these students will spend hundreds or even thousands of times to buy these paintings—— On the one hand, it is to miss the life at that time, and on the other hand, it is to be grateful for the college.
"Some of them will enter the Yawon Church, but most of them will enter the Zhiji Church. If it's the latter, then they will also become the mentors of the next generation of students... so the torch is passed on."
Listen to all this in silence.
Annan remembered what he said to himself when he saw Nigel on the subway:
[I will not die. My life is still precious. When I am about to die of old age, I will sponsor a few poor students who love painting and teach them what I have learned all my life]
[——Pass on the kindness that Zhi Ji gave me in the past years]
