The content of this section is roughly as follows: Philip can't stand the boredom of accounting work and plans to study art in Paris.
When Philip told his uncle the idea, he was unexpectedly opposed by his uncle. But the aunt who loves Philip took out a little dowry of her own and put Philip on the train.
Philip entered Amitrano Art School as he wished. The first classmate he met at school was Miss Price.
A girl who is unkempt, has a good heart and takes good care of Philip. She looks a little malnourished, her blond hair is hastily tied into a bun, and her clothes are wrinkled and untidy.
But Miss Price was the first person to teach him to draw. She pointed to his painting and said, "You should conceive the whole, measure the proportion first, and then mark the position of the head and body."
Philip never thought of this. He gratefully said to Miss Price, "Thank you."
The second classmate that Philip met at school was Clutton. Although he is a little difficult to get along with Miss Price, he is very enthusiastic about Philip.
Clutton took Philip to his and his friends' small stronghold: Grevil Restaurant, and introduced him to everyone. There are friends of Clutton and classmates he is not familiar with. The young people soon became one, and Philip listened to them talking about everything and felt that the new life was really beautiful.
These friends are treasure boys. They always bring him new things. From their mouth, Philip knew a mysterious man, his name was Cronshaw. These boys admire him very much: "Philip, he is a strange man." Maybe you will feel that he is not as mysterious as the legend when you first contact him, but as long as he is drunk, you will admire him. "
Under the guidance of my classmates, I got to know the mysterious figure who was drinking in the cafe that Cronshaw often went to.
Cronshaw likes to associate with young people very much. His speech is not limited to secular standards, and his voice is pleasant. His expression attracted Philip deeply.
See Philip nervous, Cronshaw grinned: "Philip, don't be nervous. You know, art is inseparable from love, so is poetry and art. You are paying tribute to my poetry with your actions. You are my bosom friend. "
Philip was excited by the admiration of people worshipped by his partners. He seems to feel that he is extremely talented and will become a first-class painter in the near future.
And the reality is this. It's time for the teacher to comment on the students' homework. The teacher is Mr Fornet. In the face of Philip, who is new here, he doesn't have too many comments. But he was quite harsh on Miss Price's paintings: "If your paintings have any merits, I will definitely teach you. But you've been here for so long, and your painting is still so bad. In my opinion, you have no talent for painting. "
Miss Price's shortcoming is that she likes to gossip behind people's backs. Her untidiness makes no classmates like her. She only has Philip to sympathize with her and comfort her.
Price fell in love with Philip and confessed to him, but Philip didn't love Price. But he didn't want to hurt Miss Price's gentlemanly manner, which made Price misunderstand.
In summer, Philip plans to go to the country with his classmates. When Miss Price found out, she had a big fight with him: "Philip, I thought you wouldn't go. I thought you would like to take this opportunity to be with me. "
Philip was embarrassed. He didn't understand why Price was angry with him. He just thought, "She's really annoying."
But Miss Price took Philip's silence as her default. She shouted at Philip, "Those people are liars. They say that you can't be a painter without talent and creativity. "
Philip broke up with her and went to play as planned. Miss Price came back and hung from the ceiling.
This incident became a negative event that Philip could not get rid of. He thought Miss Price had always wanted to make a living by painting and get ahead. Her analysis of impressionist masters and Monet is in place, but she can't draw it.
Philip marked himself and suddenly realized that his painting depended not on his mind and intuition, but on his wisdom. If he continues to paint like this, he may spend all his savings like Miss Price and eventually die of despair and poverty.
To this end, Philip found Fornet: "Teacher, I have studied here for two years, and none of my paintings can be exhibited. Even my classmates can see that my painting is just imitation. You should be able to see whether I am suitable to continue painting? "
Sensing his frankness, Mr. Fornet replied pertinently: "If you are not a rich boy and don't have enough money for you to squander, you might as well try other industries. I only see cleverness and diligence in your paintings, but I can't see talent. You may become a mediocre painter in the future, but there will be countless painters like you. "
The teacher's outspoken lovelorn was the last straw to crush Price, and her death reminded Philip of himself.
Writing on the internet has become a reality, and Xiao Bai has fought back. By writing articles with a monthly income of one million, it has always attracted the attention of bloggers and aroused followers who want to earn one million a month.
Don't deny that you earn millions a month, the key is whether you have chosen the right target, whether you know yourself and why you write.
Which is more important, talent, cleverness or diligence? Diligence and cleverness can only be used to know themselves at the same time, so that they can cooperate seamlessly with talent.
Knowing yourself is more important than going forward.
