It was the first time that Anton saw Dumbledore with the expression of an innocent child who had done something wrong. His old wrinkled hands quickly flipped through the thick tome. After a while, he threw the book aside and quickly opened another one.
One.
The whole table was piled with all kinds of information.
Anton glanced at it casually, "The Secret of Portrait Making", "The Comfort of the Lost", "Beware! Portraits are not real life", "Indulging in the past will only miss the present"...
I flipped through a book and saw a long paragraph written on the title page. - Please remember one thing: a portrait is a portrait, and the portrait is not the wizard himself. No one can bear to live in a small place year after year.
I assume the same posture and do the same things every day, but portraits are okay.
—The wisdom of the portrait comes from the magical ability of the wizard being painted, from the magical environment in which the portrait is located (they generally only maintain special activity in places like ancient castles and ancient houses), from the drawing
The level of painters during the period came from the painter's understanding of the wizard being painted (this is particularly important!).
-A self-drawn portrait does not necessarily make the portrait appear to be the same as the real one, because the person who knows us least is often ourselves!
When my apprentices learn to draw portraits, they will all get my advice: they are not allowed to refine the characteristics of the characters, they are not allowed to enlarge the characteristics of the characters, and they are not allowed to stereotype the characters. Otherwise, there will be serious consequences: the characters in the portrait will be the impression of others.
The image in the painting, rather than the person being drawn. (This is the worst state! It is also the most common mistake in the portrait drawing circle!)
—Dear painter, please be kind to the portraits. If the person being drawn likes parties, please prepare wine and food for him in the painting. If the person being drawn likes music, please prepare an exquisite steel machine for him.
Qin. If the subject likes sunny weather, don't make the background gloomy and gray - even if you think it will make him look more majestic.
Anton is also a frequent visitor to the school library, but he usually doesn't notice these books.
I was fascinated by it all at once.
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is actually missing many courses, such as fine arts and art. This course may seem unimportant, but as long as you carefully observe the wizarding world, you will find that the beauty of the wizarding world has its own genre.
.
Gothic style, Baroque style, etc. can all find some shadow in it.
The most amazing thing is that the tastes of wizards are always influenced by Muggles, especially in terms of clothing aesthetics, and they do not blindly pursue mysterious and tonal designs.
In addition, although there are so many magical portraits, it is difficult to learn this skill in a magic school.
"This is the book collection of the Dumbledore family. I borrowed it from Aberforth. He has never agreed to donate these books to Hogwarts School." Dumbledore looked at Anton with a smile and shrugged, "Purely
The blood family is so proud that when formulating the modern magic system, they firmly resist the inclusion of these contents."
Anton raised his eyebrows, "But I remember that Hogwarts was founded around 990 AD, and there was no modern magic system at that time."
Dumbledore shook his head gently, "It's not just about teaching. Different organizations have different requirements for recruiting new members. The Ordinary Wizarding Level and the 'Ultimate Wizarding Examination' that wizards take in schools are both for these organizations based on the modern magic system."
He touched the book in his hand with some emotion, "The circle of painters is too small. It is so small that there are only a certain number of people and their apprentices. They do not recruit new members based on the performance of the students in the school."
Having said this, Lao Deng sighed softly, "This matter is not easy. Although I actively plan to expand the students' teaching scope and future choices, my influence cannot touch the circle of painters. They
Rejected my suggestion..."
"And the academic pressure on students is already very high, so it is not suitable to add more content. Your course schedule is already full."
Anton was stunned and thought for a while, "This seems to require professional training, but if you put it this way, it seems to have nothing to do with Hogwarts. It should be an independent art school."
"Yes."
Dumbledore blinked, "But this requires a large enough population of wizards."
Well, it's back to Dumbledore's usual grand narrative perspective, and Anton can guess what Dumbledore will say next.
Old Deng looked at Anton's somewhat impatient look and couldn't help but smile, "If you are interested, I can lend you these books to read. The artist's skill is a compound magic that requires transformation, spells and magic.
I have a certain foundation in botany, so I think it’s just right for you.”
Anton's eyes lit up, "Then I'm welcome."
"I said two!" Professor McGonagall saw the two of them finished speaking and couldn't help interrupting their chat, pointing to the portraits on the shelf, "I think you should put your energy here first!"
"Well."
Dumbledore nodded, "That's right."
After saying that, he looked at Anton and said, "I think this is actually what you should do. Anton, you are the one who caused this situation."
Anton grinned, unable to say anything for a moment.
He silently turned to look at the girl in the painting, and when he saw her sobbing, he couldn't help but scratch his head in annoyance.
"Two professors, the world of magic is always so wonderful and strange. I
We often encounter some amazing things, and sometimes we even have to be amazed..."
Before Anton finished speaking, Dumbledore rolled his eyes and knocked on the table, "Just tell me what happens next."
Ga~
Anton almost choked. He looked at them with some embarrassment and blinked innocently, "I don't know what to do."
"!!!" Dumbledore's eyes suddenly widened, "You should remember how you did it, making her unable to leave the portrait, right?"
"this......"
Bang~
One of Anton's hands instantly turned into countless soul black threads, floating and twisting in mid-air.
He controlled these black threads to be bound together, criss-crossed, and rewoven into the shape of arms and fingers.
"I don't know what this ability is, but it can enter the painting. I thought the painting was a bit strange at the time, so I went in to check it out, that's all."
"Merlin's beard!" Professor McGonagall exclaimed. She felt uncomfortable every time she saw Anton use this ability. This thing was really beyond her aesthetic range.
What's more, the last time I saw him, it was Anton releasing the remains of Tom from his body.
The cracked Horcrux of Voldemort was stuck together with countless black soul threads, making it look particularly evil.
