Zhe school (painting)

Zhe School is a type of painting made by artists in China during the Ming dynasty, which was a really long time ago, way before phones and computers were invented!

The paintings usually show landscapes or things that are found in nature, like rocks, trees, flowers, and water. They are really pretty to look at and are made using special brushes and paints.

One important thing about this type of painting is that the artists use simple, yet really precise and delicate brushstrokes to create their art. They also leave parts of the painting blank or empty to show the importance of negative space, which is like using nothing to make something look even better.

So, basically, zhe school is a type of painting that shows nature and uses delicate brushstrokes and negative space to make it look really pretty!
