For example: "I like The Starry Night because the use of color is very unique, and it makes me feel the artist's inner world." Invite 3-4 students to share.
Activity 2: Role-Playing - Introduce Paintings (5 minutes)
Tell students: "Suppose you are volunteers at an art exhibition. Choose one of the three paintings and introduce it to the visitors."
Provide the introduction template in the PPT for students to refer to. Let students prepare for 2 minutes individually.
Invite 2-3 students to perform the role-play in front of the class. The teacher evaluates their performance from aspects such as fluency, accuracy of information, and pronunciation, and gives positive feedback and suggestions for improvement.
