A SHORT HISTORY OF WESTERN PAINTING

Art 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.

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 artistof 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.

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 coule 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.

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.

Impressionism(late 19h 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 also led to new painting

styles. Among the painters who broke away from the traditional

style of painting were the Impressionists, who lived and worke in

Paris.

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.

Modern Art(29th century to today)

At the time they were created, the Impressionist paintings were controversial, but today they are accepeted 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 exsist. 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 n 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?

西方绘画艺术简史

西方艺术风格变化较大，而中国艺术风格变化较小。人们的生活方式和信仰影响了艺术。中国和欧洲不同，生活方式在长时间里相似。西方艺术丰富多彩，仅凭一篇短短的课文难以描述全面。所以，本篇课文仅描述了从公元5世纪开始的几种主要风格。

中世纪（公元5世纪到15世纪）

在中世纪，画家的主要任务是表现宗教主题。艺术家们并没有把兴趣放在呈现人和自然的真实面貌上，而是着力于体现对上帝的爱戴和敬重。因此，这段时期的绘画充满着宗教的信条。到13世纪时，情况已经开始发生变化，像乔托这样的画家以比较现实的风格来画宗教场景。

文艺复兴时期（15世纪到16世纪）

在文艺复兴时期，新的思想和价值观取代了中世纪的那一套，人们开始更关心人而不是宗教。画家们回到了罗马、希腊的艺术理论上。他们尽力地画出人和自然的真实面貌。富人们想为自己的宫殿和豪宅收藏艺术品，他们高价聘请著名艺术家来为自己画画，画自己的房屋和其他财物，画他们的活动，画他们的成就。

在这个阶段，最重要的发现之一是如何用透视法来画出事物的形

路永在前方

阿什利塔·福曼是一位热衷挑战并总想争创吉尼斯纪录的运动员。在过去25年中，他大约(approximately)已经打破了93项吉尼斯世界纪录，至今，他仍然是其中20多项纪录的保持者，还包括拥有最多的吉尼斯纪录这一项。但是这些记录并不是像游泳或足球等一般运动项目那样创建的，而是阿什利塔试图在非常有趣的地点，在富有想像力的运动项目中打破的。

最近，阿什利塔完成了他的梦想:在所有七大洲破一项纪录，其中包括在澳洲玩呼啦圈，在南美洲的水下做弹簧单高跷游戏，在北美洲的热气球中做膝部深弯曲运动。

虽然这些活动看起来孩子气且令人发笑而不是让人肃然起敬，但实际上(in reality),完成这些活动需要强大的力量,健康的体格和坚定的决心。

想想吧,你一边走路,一边还要把一瓶牛奶顶在头上，你的脖子需要的多好的适应力。你可以停下来休息或吃东西，但瓶子必须呆在头上。

当阿什利塔站在75厘米高的瑞士球上时，看起来虽然很轻松容易，其实不然。呆在球上得一直全神贯注，还需要有极强的注意力和极好的平衡感。特别是在双腿开始抖动的时候，你还得使劲呆在球上。

然而沿着12英里的马路翻筋斗,情况又是怎样的呢？翻筋斗是一项艰苦的运动,因为你必须克服头晕、极度疲劳和痛苦。每翻滚一个小时,只允许休息5分钟,不过也可以短暂地停下来呕吐(vomit)。

做标准的体操(gymnastically)弓箭步动作向前，以最快的节奏走完1英里的路程是阿什利塔又一个出色的项目。弓箭步冲刺对你的双腿是一个极端艰苦的考验。开始时呈站立姿势，然后右脚向前迈一步，同时左膝触地，然后再站起来，左脚向前迈出一步，同时右膝触地。 想想吧，这个动作要反复做1英里远！

然而，这位有才能的运动员并不是天生的。小时候，他很不健康(unfit)，而且对运动毫无兴趣。但他却对《吉尼斯世界纪录大全》非常着迷(fascinated)。
