In fact, there is disagreement about exactly what art is. Most of us would agree that Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa is art, but what about a video game? One dictionary defines art as the creation of objects, images, or music that are beautiful or express certain feelings. This, however, could be regarded as too general a definition. Art is usually divided into two areas: fine art, such as painting, music and sculpture and applied art (实用美术), such as fashion design, furniture making and gardening. According to Aristotle, fine art is something that has a conceptual function (概念功能). He noted that artists produced objects, drama and music which showed their emotions and ideas rather than just trying to offer a true image of nature. Andy Warhol, the American artist famous for his Pop Art in the 1960s, once said, “An artist produces things that people don’t need to have.” This is the biggest difference between fine and applied art. Applied art requires an object to be functional as well as beautiful. In the twentieth century, however, artists began to challenge the accepted idea of art. The artist Marcel Duchamp changed people’s understanding of what sculpture was by putting a bicycle wheel upside down on a stool (凳子) in 1913 and calling it art. In 2002, Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama created an artwork that required the public’s involvement. In this work, visitors were asked to cover a white room that had white furniture and objects in it, with many colourful sticker dots. She once said, “Everything an artist produces is art.” Today, we can see examples of art all around us which are not expensive. Many towns and cities have public art which can be enjoyed by all. Some museums, like the National Art Museum of China in Beijing, have no entrance fee. Others are free for children and students. Street art is also popular in different neighbourhoods around the world. _______________ This idea may not work for all art, but perhaps we can agree that it is a goal towards which all artists should work. 1. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? 2. What does applied art require according to this passage? 3. When did artists begin to challenge the accepted idea of art? 4. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to? 5. What does the writer think of art? Please fill in the blanks. 【答案】 1. The two areas of art. 2. Applied art requires an object to be functional as well as beautiful. 3. In the twentieth/20th century. 4. The upside-down bicycle wheel on a stool. 5. Art can make our ordinary, everyday lives a little more special. 八、语法填空 The art of Chinese paper cutting, or jianzhi, has a history of thousands of years.

Along the River During the Qingming Festival Walking into the China Pavilion at Expo 2010 in Shanghai, people were amazed by seeing a huge digital (数码的) painting. Scientists digitized the famous painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival by Chinese artist Zhang Zeduan. The original (原先的) painting shows life during the Northern Song period and it includes many details of ancient Chinese customs, lifestyles and technology. In the digital painting, a lot of these details are animated (做成动画). Farmers work in the fields, and sailors move around their boats and people eat and do business in restaurants. Parts of the background are also animated. You can see the wind blowing through the trees and across the water. These animations perfectly combine modern technology and ancient art. Digital technology allows today’s artists to express their ideas in ways that ancient artists would not believe possible. Techniques such as animation and 3D digital projection (投影) make art come alive. Dunhuang Cave Paintings Dunhuang Caves, which are protected ancient treasures in the Gobi Desert in Northwest China, are filled with paintings and sculptures (雕塑) with lasting value. This artwork was created over a period of around 1,000 years. The good news is for art lovers who cannot travel and for the caves. Scientists have created a 360-degree, 3D digital projection of the caves, which makes the artwork come alive. There is also a function that lets viewers zoom in and enjoy the paintings and sculptures in greater detail. Digitizing ancient art allows us to explore the ancient practices.

Or a Chinese dragon with a fish tail? Such creative and interesting ideas appear in Miao embroidery (刺绣) from Guizhou. Miao embroidery is an important part of Miao culture and a treasure of traditional Chinese clothing culture. It was included in the national intangible cultural heritage list (非物质文化遗产名录) on May 20, 2006. It is considered one of the finest examples of embroidery art. Miao embroidery has a long history of more than 2,000 years. Miao people embroider different patterns on clothes, such as dragons, fish, flowers and birds. These designs aren’t just for beauty. What’s more, many of them play a role in recording their history and culture. This is because Miao people do not have their own written language. Therefore, Miao embroidery is often known as “the Miao history worn on the body”. It is said that a Miao leader named Lanjuan came up with this idea. The main materials of Miao embroidery are silk, cotton and horsehair. ▲ These natural materials make clothes more comfortable to wear. However, these materials are difficult to keep. Therefore, it is hard for people to see Miao embroidery products with a history of more than 200 years today.

This question has confused great thinkers for centuries. In fact, there is disagreement about exactly what art is. Most of us would agree that Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa is art, but what about a video game? One dictionary defines art as the creation of objects, images, or music that are beautiful or express certain feelings. This, however, could be regarded as too general a definition. Art is usually divided into two areas: fine art, such as painting, music and sculpture and applied art (实用美术), such as fashion design, furniture making and gardening. According to Aristotle, fine art is something that has a conceptual function (概念功能). He noted that artists produced objects, drama and music which showed their emotions and ideas rather than just trying to offer a true image of nature. Andy Warhol, the American artist famous for his Pop Art in the 1960s, once said, “An artist produces things that people don’t need to have.” This is the biggest difference between fine and applied art. Applied art requires an object to be functional as well as beautiful. In the twentieth century, however, artists began to challenge the accepted idea of art. The artist Marcel Duchamp changed people’s understanding of what sculpture was by putting a bicycle wheel upside down on a stool (凳子) in 1913 and calling it art. In 2002, Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama created an artwork that required the public’s involvement. In this work, visitors were asked to cover a white room that had white furniture and objects in it, with many colourful sticker dots. She once said, “Everything an artist produces is art.” Today, we can see examples of art all around us which are not expensive. Many towns and cities have public art which can be enjoyed by all. Some museums, like the National Art Museum of China in Beijing, have no entrance fee. Others are free for children and students. Street art is also popular in different neighbourhoods around the world. _______________ This idea may not work for all art, but perhaps we can agree that it is a goal towards which all artists should work. 1. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? 2. What does applied art require according to this passage? 3. When did artists begin to challenge the accepted idea of art? 4. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to? 5. What does the writer think of art? Please fill in the blanks. 八、语法填空 The art of Chinese paper cutting, or jianzhi, has a history of thousands of years. The art form is said to date back to the Han Dynasty.
