Does anyone know a story related to art?

1. Leonardo da Vinci painted eggs

Leonardo da Vinci was a famous Italian painter. When he was a child, one day, the teacher took out an egg and said: "Please Can you draw two identical eggs?" After that, he left. Da Vinci thought: What's so easy about drawing eggs? Why is it so difficult? Da Vinci looked at it from this side and that side, and the eggs were still eggs, but he couldn't draw two identical eggs. So, he went to ask the teacher. First of all, the teacher praised him for his careful observation and told him not to underestimate this one egg. In fact, he was thousands of eggs, which were different eggs from different angles. Leonardo da Vinci remembered this sentence and not only painted with his hands, but also painted with his heart. Decades later, he finally became a great painter.

2. Huaisu practiced calligraphy

Huaisu's family was very poor when he was a child. He became a monk when he was young. While chanting sutras, sitting in meditation and other Buddhist activities, he became interested in practicing calligraphy. . Since I couldn't afford paper, I found a wooden board and disk and painted them with white paint to write on. Later, Huaisu felt that the paint board was smooth and difficult to ink, so he planted more than 10,000 banana trees in a wasteland near the temple. When Basho grew up, he picked off the banana leaves, spread them on the table, and wrote them down.

Because Huaisu practiced calligraphy day and night, the old banana leaves were peeled off, and the small leaves were reluctant to pick, so he thought of a way and simply took his pen and ink and stood in front of the banana tree, facing the fresh leaves. When writing, even though the sun was beating down on him and the biting north wind was freezing the skin of his hands to crack, he still ignored it and continued to practice calligraphy unremittingly. After he finished writing one thing, he started writing another without stopping. This is the famous Huaisu Bajiao calligraphy practice.

He studied diligently and used lacquer plates and boards instead of paper. He wrote so many times that the boards were all worn out, and his bare pen became a grave. He was famous for his "crazy writing". "The pen is moved quickly, like a sudden rain and whirlwind, flying and turning, changing at will, and the law is there." The predecessors commented that his Kuangcao succeeded Zhang Xu and made new developments, saying that he "succeeded Ding with Kuangcao" and also called "Dian Zhang Zuisu". It also has a great influence on future generations. Huaisu's cursive writing became dull in his later years.

He has many surviving cursive calligraphy ink writings. The famous ones include "Donngling Notre Dame Tie" and "On Calligraphy Tie", which are excellent works with cursive writing style; "Kusun Tie", "Thousand Character Essay" and " "Autobiographic Notes" are all written in wild cursive style, with crazy and angry writing styles and flying colors. It can be said to be a masterpiece of hard work.

3. Wang Xianzhi practices calligraphy

Wang Xianzhi is the seventh son of Wang Xizhi. He was smart and studious since he was a child. He specializes in calligraphy, cursive script and official script, and is also good at painting. He began to learn calligraphy when he was seven or eight years old, learning from his father. Once, Wang Xizhi saw Xianzhi practicing calligraphy attentively, so he quietly walked behind him and suddenly reached out to pull out the brush in Xianzhi's hand. Xianzhi held the brush firmly and did not pull it out. His father was very happy and praised: "This son will be famous again." Xiao Xianzhi was very happy after hearing this. Another time, a friend of Xizhi asked Xianzhi to write on the fan, and Xianzhi started writing with a pen. Suddenly, the pen fell on the fan, polluting the words. Xiao Xianzhi had an idea, and a calf came to life on the fan. In addition, everyone was full of praise for Xianzhi's calligraphy and painting, which made Xiao Xianzhi feel proud. Xianzhi's parents looked at this scene with deep thoughts...

One day, little Xianzhi asked his mother, Xi: "I just need to write for three more years, right?" Her mother shook her head. "Have you been headquartered for five years?" Mom shook her head again. Xian became anxious and said to his mother: "Then how long do you think it will take?" "You have to remember that after writing these 18 tanks of water in the courtyard, your words will have muscles, bones, flesh and blood, and you will Stand upright and steady." Xianzhi turned around and found his father standing behind him. Wang Xianzhi was dissatisfied and said nothing. He gritted his teeth and practiced for another five years. He showed his father a lot of written words, hoping to hear a few words of praise. Unexpectedly, Wang Xizhi turned over them one by one and shook his head. When he came across the word "big", his father showed a more satisfied expression, casually filled in a dot under the word "big", and then returned all the manuscripts to Xian.

Xiao Xianzhi was still dissatisfied, so he showed all the calligraphy exercises to his mother and said: "I have been practicing for another 5 years, and I have practiced them exactly according to my father's calligraphy. Look carefully, I How is it different from my father's character?" Sure enough, my mother looked at it carefully for three days, and finally pointed to the dot Wang Xizhi added under the character "大", sighed and said: "My son has exhausted three tanks of water, but only one can be found. A bit like Xizhi.

"

After hearing this, Xianzhi was discouraged and said feebly: "It's difficult! If this continues, when will there be good results? Seeing that his arrogance had disappeared, his mother encouraged him and said, "Son, as long as you work hard, there is no river that you can't cross or a mountain that you can't climb." As long as you practice unremittingly like you have in recent years, you will definitely achieve your goal! ”

After hearing this, Xianzhi was deeply moved and continued to practice persistently. The hard work paid off. Xianzhi used up 18 large tanks of water to practice calligraphy and made rapid progress in calligraphy. Later, Wang Xianzhi’s calligraphy It has reached the point where he is so proficient that his calligraphy and Wang Xizhi's calligraphy are juxtaposed, and they are called the "Two Kings"

4. Beethoven's childhood

Beethoven's grandfather and Wang Xizhi's calligraphy. His father was a court singer. Most of the time, his father was drunk and never cared about the family. At first, the kind-hearted grandfather could not even care about whether the family had enough food and clothing. This saved the family from too much suffering; in turn, his eldest grandson's musical talent also brought great relief to the old man. But when Beethoven was only four years old, his grandfather died. The child was dragged to the keyboard and made to practice hard for many hours, slapping him whenever he made a mistake. Neighbors often heard the child sobbing and falling asleep due to fatigue and pain. The traveling musician Pfeiffer came to this town and was taken to Beethoven's house. He and the old Beethoven often drank in a tavern outside until midnight, and then went home and dragged little Ludwig out of bed. In order to make him look like a child prodigy, his father lied about his age and took him out to give concerts as a six-year-old when he was eight years old. There is no child prodigy in the world. Although he spent a lot of time, the old Beethoven was never able to cultivate his son into another young Mozart. Compared with Mozart, Beethoven's childhood was too unfortunate. He had a good education, his practice time was pleasant and quiet, and he had a loving father and a beloved sister. This was not the case with Beethoven. Although his performance won the respect of his hometown people, his world-wide traveling performances It is far from astonishing the world as Mozart.
