A critique of exhibition


Last Thursday, we went to Nanjing University to appreciate an exhibition—Wu Weishan’s cultural figures sculpture.
There were many sculpture and painting in the museum. The most interesting one is “sleeping child”. I like it because it was meaningful. It was made in year 2002. When I saw it, I called to remembrance my childhood, maybe I slept heavily like that child. That was a happy feeling I think.
The hierophant told us this sculpture was like an egg really. In the museum is a large one. Copy the real one’s antitypes. Want visitors to see the baby’s expression, and feel baby’s happiness.
It made of soil, and full of brown. Baby’s appearance was not very beautiful. But this sculpture got an international award because of its meaning. In our peaceful country, the baby’s happiness can move everyone’s susceptibility.
Artist used the small details to communicate the happiness. I love it do not have the technology and gorgeous color production. That feeling is very pure.

GUEST ARTIST

Last Monday afternoon, our grade 10 students went to have a nice art feast.
Our reporter names Zhao Bing. He introduced Garden to us. In Chinese, 园 has special meaning. We can see 4 things in it. Walls, soil, pool and trees.
Chinese Garden is different from Western Garden. Western Garden is very weird, just the forests. But Chinese Garden very different. It is including many kinds of it. For example, Royal Garden, Family Garden and so on.
Suzhou Gardens are very famous in the world. Because it have a long history. It built in Qing and Ming Dynasties.
Ancient Gardens, like ZhuozhengYuan, Wangshi Yuan and Liu Yuan, built specially. They designed like a house. People can have a rest or relax themselves in it. It’s perfection of design influence all the world.
Nowadays, the influence of Gardens design traveled across the ocean, and Suzhou Garden be a number of UNESCO.
