The painting shown by the teacher is one of Dali’s most famous works. T/FT3. Dan has not heard of the painter’s name before. T/FF (has not hear d → has heard)4.

T/FF (right away → when he gets home/ do some research on Dali→ go to volleyball practice) A2: Laura leaves Dan a voice message after she has done some research on Dali. Listen to the message and complete the notes below.Salvador DaliDali the person•Dali was born in (1) 1904 in Spain.•Dali died in 1989.•Dali and his wife lived in Spain for (2) most of their lives.•They lived in the US for (3)about ten years.Dali the artist•Dali’s famous paintings include the persistence of Memory, Swans Reflecting Elephants and (4) The Burning Giraffe.•Dali was good at combining (5) fantasy and reality to make his paintings dreamlike.Dali was one of the most (6) productive artists of the 20th century.➢He created (7) more than/over 1,500 paintings.➢He also designed jewelry and (8) costumes, made sculptures and furniture, and dida little film-making and advertising.A3: In pairs, present your favourite painter or painting to each other. You may introduce the painter’s overall style first. Use the example below to help you and pay attention to the expressions in bold.While there are many painters I like, I would have to say that Wu Guanzhong is my personal favourite. There is something about his style that sets him apart from other painters.Wu Guanzhong’s painting style can be described as a mix of Western and Chinese painting traditions. However, his style is very modern: many of his paintings are strikingly simple, but also very elegant.Wu Guanzhong mastered the use of white space. My favourite painting is this one, called Zhou Villiage, in which he used this technique very effectively. Like many of his other works, it’s very stylish. Wu used a striking combination of black strokes and white space to depict traditional Chinese buildings in a water town. There is something beautiful and strange about the whitewashed houses in the painting: they rise up like mountains. Perhaps he wanted to create an impressive landscape painting to represent a simple small-town scene. The river is in the foreground, and at its centre is a small bridge. When you look at the painting, it is as if you were about to cross the bridge and enter another world.Useful expressions Array o ne’s personal favouriteset sb apart from othersbe described as …a mix of Western and Chinese painting traditiona striking combination of A and Bdepict sthcreate an impressive landscape paintingStep 3 ReadingB1: Andy Warhol’s painting are among the most recognizable artworks of the 20th century. Read the article about Warhol’s influence on art and answer the questions below.1.What can be considered art according to pop artists?Pop artists believed that art could (and should) be made with recognizable, mass-produced, “popular” items that surround us.2.In what ways did Andy Warhol change people’s understanding of art?By showing recognizable, mass-produced, “popular” items in his painting, Warhol made people think about ordinary objects in a new way.Step 4 WritingB2: Andy Warhol redefined art and made people think of art in a new way. What do you think is good art? Write an article to express your opinion.Possible answer:What is good art?What is good art? This is a difficult question to answer, but I believe that an artist needs both technical skills and creative talent to produce a masterpiece.To begin with, the technical skill of the artist is extremely important. The reason why we still admire painters such as Wang Meng several hundred years after his death is that he was a technically skilled painter. Many artists today have great ideas, but they lack the skills needed to create a true masterpiece.In addition, I believe that creativity is the most component of a good art: artists need to create something new. For instance, Vincent van Gogh looked at simple everyday subjects, such as sunflowers, and made innovative paintings that still astonish viewers today. Every artist should aspire to reach that level of creativity. While a painter may be technically skilled, his or her paintings cannot be called good art if they are simply copies of existing designs.Finally, I believe that a piece of art needs to be a one-of-a-kind object: it cannot be a mass-produced item. A unique artwork, hand-made by a skilled artist, is something very different form artworks created for mass production. In short, true art cannot be made in a factory—creating a masterpiece requires skill, talent and the careful work of a human artist.In summary, good art is dependent on why and how it is created. The important thing is that the artwork reveals the artist’s own ideas, techniques and motivations, rather than something that he or she has copied from another artist.教学反思。
