Ⅱ.七选五

Art is for everyone and it exists everywhere.When it comes to appreciating an art painting,there is no right or wrong way.1.　　 

●Know the artist.To know the artist is the first step towards appreciating any art painting.2.　　　 Once you get familiar with the paintings from a particular artist,you will start relating to their unique style. 

●3.　　　 This is really tough.There are different styles and types of art mediums,realism,surrealism,and impressionism,to name but a few.So for beginners,it’s advisable to keep things simple.Try to understand if the art you see is a watercolour,oil painting or acrylic (丙烯画) or sketch (速写) on paper.You also need to figure out the styles of the work—figurative(形象的) or abstract. 

●Try and find a meaning.To read between lines and colors and understand what the artist means can be very difficult.4.　　　 So here’s a simple guide.Figurative paintings are easy because they are an honest description of emotions on the canvas(油画布).Still,it doesn’t mean your understanding is the same as the

artist’s.Abstracts attempt to create magic with shapes,lines and colors and their meaning is different for everyone who sees them. 

●Search for emotions.Not every work of art will catch your eyes or emotions at first sight.5.　　　 Explore the art work with your eyes. 

Once you are aware of these things,you will be able to break the ice of art.

A.Discover your taste and styles.

B.Know the type of art and medium used.

C.Some of these art works will take time to reach you.

D.You just might find that art changes the way you see the world.

E.Learning something about the artist adds to the appreciation of art.

F.A simple art painting might be understood otherwise for different people.

G.The following ideas may help you join in the conversation between you and the artist.

答案:1-5　GEBFC
