Let’s start by talking about the background of ink wash animation, an animation style that is unique to China. This style combines Chinese traditional art with modern animation techniques. In the late 1950s，inspired by the ink wash painter Qi Baishi, the Shanghai Animation Studio began to explore ways to turn Chinese traditional paintings into cartoon form. The first ink wash animation film, Tadpoles Searching for Mother, was produced in 1960, and it received international praise. Following this, The Cowboy’s Flute was produced in 1963, receiving the golden prize at an international film festival. Finally, in 1988, the ink wash animation masterpiece, Feeling from Mountain and Water was created. Let’s turn now to the film itself. The film tells the simple story of an old musician and a young boy. In the film, an old musician falls ill while travelling and is helped by a young boy. To thank the boy, the musician teaches him how to play the guqin. With the change of the seasons, it is time for the musician to leave. As the musician says goodbye, he gives the boy his guqin, and then disappears into the mist. Then, when the boy sits down to play the guqin, all of nature joins him in a visual symphony. The film has no dialogue. And, unlike typical cartoons, the film has no bright colours. In short, it is like a fine ink wash painting which has been brought to life—a painting with movement. The animation and the music make the film not only appealing to the eyes and cars but also rich in emotion. Therefore, this 18-minute film is regarded by many as a masterpiece of Chinese ink wash animation. After the late 1980s, the high cost of producing ink wash animation caused film studios to stop making them. The techniques used to produce such films simply required too much work, as each frame of the film had to be hand painted. However, in 2016, new artists have begun to make ink wash animated films using computers. It is hoped that these new techniques will breathe new life into this art form. Work in groups. Choose a work of art you like and prepare information about it.

Introduce the subject: I’m very excited to have this opportunity to talk about one of my favorite pieces of art. It is called The Starry Night and was painted by Vincent van Gogh in 1889. Main body Background of the work of art： First, let me tell you about the background of this painting. It shows the French town, Saint-Remy-de-Provence at night. It is based on the view from a window in a hospital where Van Gogh was a patient. Sadly, he suffered from health issues throughout his life, and his work only found fame(获得名气) after his death. Although it shows the view at night, Van Gogh painted it during the day from memory. He also painted other versions at different times of day. Description of the work of art: This is an oil painting on canvas(画布). One can immediately tell from its features that it is a Van Gogh painting. For example, the swirls(旋动) in the sky show Van Gogh’s distinctive painting style. The curled dashes of bold color(清晰明显的色彩) can be seen in many of his works. The moon and stars are big and yellow. This was Van Gogh’s favorite color. Review of the work of art: Although Van Gogh did not think the painting was very good, it is considered a masterpiece and is one of the most recognized paintings in the history of Western art. It really captures the viewers’ attention and draws them in. It gives the viewer an idea of the state of mind of Van Gogh at this difficult time in his life. Finish the exercise that is given today.
