Since then, Jiang Zhi has created a study room dedicated to the children, filled with an artistic atmosphere. The walls are covered with carefully selected reproductions of artworks, spanning a wide range of styles from classical to contemporary. The bookshelves are filled with a variety of art books, covering painting techniques, art history, and musician biographies. In the corner, there's a piano and some small instruments, allowing the children to explore the world of music at any time.
To give the children more opportunities to practice, Jiang Zhi contacted several renowned art teachers who regularly visited their home for lessons. In painting classes, the teachers patiently guided the children through color palette and composition, starting with simple sketches and gradually teaching them to express their inner thoughts with their brushes. The younger sister particularly enjoyed painting small animals; her bunnies and kittens were always full of childlike playfulness and vibrant colors. The older brother, on the other hand, had a special fondness for landscapes, depicting mountains, rivers, sunrises, and sunsets with his brush, displaying observation and expressiveness beyond his years.
Music classes were equally exciting. The violin teacher taught my brother how to hold the bow and press the strings, from initial single-note exercises to eventually being able to play simple melodies. Every bit of progress was the product of hard work and effort. My younger sister took singing lessons with the vocal music teacher. Her clear voice, like a mountain bird, echoed through the practice room as she sang cheerful nursery rhymes, brimming with childlike innocence.
Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen often take their children to various art events, including community painting competitions, school performances, and city music festivals. In a citywide youth painting competition, their older brother won first prize with a sci-fi painting depicting a city of the future. The painting, featuring skyscrapers against greenery and flowers, with flying cars darting through the scene, captured his vision of a beautiful future. Standing on the podium, his older brother's eyes gleamed with confidence, while Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen applauded and cheered for him from the audience, their hearts brimming with pride.
Not to be outdone, her younger sister sang "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" at the school's art performance. Her sweet voice and lovely performance won rounds of applause from the audience. After leaving the stage, she threw herself into Jiang Zhi's arms and said excitedly, "Mom, I will sing many more beautiful songs for everyone in the future."
Over time, children thrive under the influence of art. They not only master certain artistic skills, but more importantly, art gives them keen perception, rich imagination, and delicate emotions. When faced with difficulties and setbacks in life, they can draw strength from art and overcome them with an optimistic and positive attitude.
Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen are filled with joy as they watch their children progress on their artistic journey. They understand that art has become an integral part of their lives, opening doors to endless possibilities and allowing their lives to blossom with a unique brilliance. All of this stems from their humble decision to foster an artistic atmosphere for their children. Today, this persistence is reaping abundant happiness and hope. In the future, they will continue to accompany their children as they journey through the ocean of art and explore even more unknown wonders.
