Today, we are going to read a biography (人物传记) about Vincent van Gogh. Let's find out what made him such a great artist.
3. Read the biography, then circle the time in the text.
My favourite artist is Vincent van Gogh. He was born in the Netherlands in 1853. It was not until he was 27 that he decided to become a painter and began studying art. Van Gogh went to stay with his brother in Paris in 1886. There, he experienced the bright colours of famous French painters. This was when Van Gogh developed his famous style—using short brushstrokes of thick paint and bright colours. After moving to the countryside two years later, he painted his most famous works, including Sunflowers. With a painting like The Starry Night, we can see colours, imagination, and energy in Van Gogh's work. He was able to show the passion and feelings inside himself like few other people before or since. Sadly, he died in 1890.
I like Van Gogh because he showed passion and energy in his life. I like him also because he loved nature and painted it in all its beauty.

My favourite artist is Qi Baishi. He was born in Xiangtan, Hunan, in 1864. It was not until he was in his 40s that he decided to devote himself to painting and began studying art. In 1919, Qi Baishi moved to Beijing to stay with his friends. There, he experienced the beauty of traditional Chinese art. During his later years, he developed his famous style—using a few simple brushstrokes of thick ink to paint small creatures. After many years of practice, he painted his most famous works, especially the Shrimp. With a painting like the Shrimp, we can see the life and spirit in the tiny animals. He was able to show the beauty of nature in a lively and simple way like few others. Sadly, he died in 1957.
I like Qi Baishi because he showed the true spirit of Chinese art. He loved nature and could present its beauty with just a few strokes.
11. Share and learn some good examples.
My favourite artist is Xu Beihong. He was born in Yixing, Jiangsu, in 1895. Not until he was 24 did he decide to become a professional painter and began studying art. In 1919, Xu Beihong went to France to learn Western painting techniques. There, he experienced the realistic drawing style of famous European painters. This was when he developed his famous style—combining traditional Chinese ideas with Western techniques. After he returned to China in 1927, he painted his most famous works, including Galloping Horses. With a painting like Galloping Horses, we can see the power, energy, and Chinese spirit in his work. He was able to show the strong feelings inside himself like few other painters. Sadly, he died in 1953.
I like Xu Beihong because he showed the courage and strength of the Chinese people. He used his art to express his deep love for his country.
