三、阅读理解

Chinese painting,also known as the traditional national painting,one of the traditional paintings with a long history,has its unique and independent system.Using brushes,ink,and Chinese pigments(颜料),a painting is drawn on a special kind of paper (Xuan paper) or silk.The traditional subjects are figures,landscapes,flowers and birds.

In comparison with Western painting,Chinese painting has its own artistic characteristics.After a careful study of the object,a painter can discover the rules of its structure,and then produce it by the mind’s eye.It is not merely a simple copy,but it combines the object with the artistic concept of the producer,turning a natural image into an “artistic image”.The object can show the artist’s feelings and personality to achieve the effect of “being alike not only in spirit,but also in appearance”.Not all the objects are to be drawn on the paper,and much space is left for the imagination.The use of lines is important in Chinese painting.Clear,swift,sharp and changeable lines are combined with the push,point and press of the brush and ink to show the quality of the object and variations of tone.Ancient Chinese artists listed 18 different ways of drawing lines with the brush in figure painting.Different ways of creating lines are used when painting a landscape,flowers and birds,clouds,and bamboos.

Traditional Chinese painting and calligraphy are different branches of art stemming from the same origin.They use the same kind of tools and all the lines used in painting are variations of the points and lines of calligraphy.Though they are different artistic forms,they are closely linked in terms of their expression of thoughts and feelings.They influence each other to create another artistic feature.

Understanding and appreciating abstract art can be tough if you don’t have much experience with art.Don’t worry.The following can help you gain an appreciation of abstract artwork enormously.

•Relax as you look at abstract art.

　1　 it’s best to go to the gallery or view the art when you’re in a relaxed state so that the art affects you in a positive way.Limit distractions around you,like your cell phone,and try to clear your mind of negative or stressful thoughts. 

•　2　 

Avoid saying things like “Anyone could make that” and dismiss prior opinions you have about the artwork before you actually see it.Try to approach the art with an open mind and don’t compare it with other works,especially if it’s not in the same style.

•Ask yourself how the painting makes you feel.

Instead of trying to evaluate the technical aspects of the art,ask yourself how the art makes you feel.　3　 it has an emotional impact on you.Do be honest with yourself when determining your real feeling. 

•Research the artist’s life.

Some galleries have an informational plaque(匾牌) near the artwork that describes the artist.Read the informational plaque next to the artwork.This is a great way to better understand the artist and his mindset when he created the art.Most abstract art tries to capture a feeling or emotion like sadness,rage,or happiness.　4　 

•Speak and interact with abstract artists.

If you like,you can find abstract artists in collective studios or at their art shows.　5　 Getting their perspective may give you a deeper understanding and appreciation of their work. 

Well now,if you still don’t get abstract art and can’t appreciate it,try to create some artworks yourself.If you don’t know where to start,you can look up tutorials online or take a local art class.

A.Look at the artwork as objectively as you can.

B.If it makes you feel happy,sad,anxious,or excited,

C.As long as you understand the techniques used to create the art,

D.Since being distracted or stressed can actually affect how you enjoy art,

E.Take the time to respectfully speak to them.

F.For example,if the artist witnessed a war,a depressing feeling may be conveyed in his art.

G.There are different styles and types of art for you to further research.
