But in the Renaissance, people became focused more on humans and less on religion. In Europe in the late 19th century many new inventions were created and society changed greatly, so painting styles were different from the traditional style. But China has lived the similar way of life for a very long time, so Chinese art has changed less often.ReadingA SHORT HISTORY OF WESTERN PAINTINGArt is influenced by the customs and faith of a people. Styles in Western art have changed many times. As there are so many different styles of Western art, it would be impossible to describe all of them in such a short text. Consequently, this text will describe only the most important ones, starting from the sixth century AD.influence v./n.影响influence sb. to dohave an influence on sb./sth.What influence you to change your decision?Your words have an influence on me.faith n.信仰have faith in 对……有信心lose faith in 对……失去信心The Middle Ages (5th to the 15th century AD)During the Middle Ages, the main aim of painters was to represent religious themes. A conventional artist of this period was not interested in showing nature and people as they really were. A typical picture at this time was full of religious symbols, which created a feeling of respect and love for God. But it was evident that ideas were changing in the 13th century when painters like Giotto di Bondone began to paint religious scenes in a more realistic way.represent v. 代表；体现represent sb. 代表某人typical adj.典型的be typical of 代表……respect n./v. 尊敬；尊重show respect for sth./sb. 对……尊重evident adj.明显的e.g.It is evident that you are cheating me.The Renaissance (15th to 16th century)During the Renaissance, new ideas and values gradually replaced those held In the Middle Ages. People began to concentrate less on religious themes and adopt a more humanistic attitude to life. At the same time painters returned to classical Roman and Greek ideas about art. They tried to paint people and nature as they really were. Rich people wanted to possess their own paintings, so they could decorate their superb palaces and great houses. They paid famous artists to paint pictures of themselves, their houses and possessions as well as their activities and achievements.concentrate on=focus on 集中注意力于adopt v. 采用；收养possess=own=have v.拥有；占有superb adj. 极好的possession n. 财产；所有物One of the most important discoveries during this period was how to draw things in perspective. This technique was first used by Masaccio in 1428. When people first saw his paintings, they were convinced that they were looking through a hole in a wall at a real scene. If the rules of perspective had not been discovered, no one would have been able to paint such realistic pictures. By coincidence, oil paints were also developed at this time, which made the colours used in paintings look richer and deeper. Without the new paints and the new technique, we would not be able to see the many great masterpieces for which this period is famous.perspective adj./n.透视的；透视图in perspective 有透视感out of perspective 没有透视感e.g.The paintings drawn by my baby son are out of perspectiveconvince v. 说服convince sb. to do sth. 说服某人做某事be convinced of sth. 深信某事convince sb. of sth. 说服某人相信某事be convinced that 深信……e.g.I’m convinced that he has died.I will convince you of my innocence.coincidence n.巧合；一致；同时发生by coincidence 碰巧Impressionism (late 19th to early 20th century)In the late 19th century, Europe changed a great deal, from a mostly agricultural society to a mostly industrial one. Many people moved from the countryside to the new cities. There were many new inventions and social changes. Naturally, these changes also led to new painting styles. Among the painters who broke away from the traditional style of painting were the Impressionists, who lived and worked in Paris.a great deal=a lot 许多；大量的The Impressionists were the first painters to work outdoors. They were eager to show how light and shadow fell on objects at different times of day. However, because natural light changes so quickly, the Impressionists had to paint quickly. Their paintings were not as detailed as those of earlier painters. At first, many people disliked this style of painting and became very angry about it. They said that the painters were careless and their paintings were ridiculous.shadow n.影子ridiculous adj.荒谬的；可笑的Modern Art (20th century to today)At the time they were created, the Impressionist paintings were controversial, but today they are accepted as the beginning of what we call “modern art”. This is because the Impressionists encouraged artists to look at their environment in new ways. There are scores of modern art styles, but without the Impressionists, many of these painting styles might not exist. On the one hand, some modern art is abstract; that is, the painter does not attempt to paint objects as we see them with our eyes, but instead concentrates on certain qualities of the object, using colour, line and shape to represent them. On the other hand, some paintings of modern art are so realistic that they look like photographs. These styles are so different. Who can predict what painting styles there will be in the future?controversial adj.有争论的attempt v./n. 尝试；企图make an attempt to do 试图做某事on the other hand 在另一方面one the one hand…, on the other hand…一方面……另一方面……predict v.预料；预报predict sth. 预料……e.g.We can't predict the future.The Best of Manhattan’s Art Galleries主讲：中学优秀英语教师Using LanguageReadinggalleryWhat is gallery?Gallery is a room or a building where you can enjoy works of art.
