Module 4 Fine Arts Western Chinese and Pop Arts

　　My parentsare fond of going to art galleries to watch the exhibitions. They often take me with them, which isaimedat developing my like for painting.I once studied drawinglandscapeandwatercolor, but soon I was tired of them and finally gave them up. However, I still enjoy watching famousartists' works. I can tellwhose works they are by the styles.

　　My favourite artists are Pablo Picasso and Qi Baishi. They two had different styles.Pablo Picasso won unusual success. He created a series of works in different periods.It looks as if the objects and people were destroyed, but in fact they're quite a whole.

　　Qi Baishi adopted the traditional Chinese style of painting.At first, he only imitated others' works.As a result, his works were not popular with the public.He couldn't stand the failure and even intended to give up painting. Later，he observed the world of nature carefully and realisedthe true meaning of art. The animals in his works look so alive that the works attract lots of collectors.,　　

　　我的父母喜欢去艺术画廊看展览。他们经常带着我去，目的是为了培养我对绘画的喜欢。我也曾经学过画风景画和水彩画，但我不久就厌倦了，并最终放弃。然而，我仍然喜欢看著名艺术家的作品。我能根据风格判断这些画是哪位艺术家的。

　　我最喜欢的艺术家是巴勃罗·毕加索和齐白石。他们两个有不同的风格。巴勃罗·毕加索获得了非凡的成功。他在不同的时期创作了一系列作品。看起来似乎物体和人物都被破坏了，但实际上它们还是一个整体。

　　齐白石采用中国传统的绘画风格。起初，他只模仿别人的作品，结果，他的作品得不到公众的认可。他不能忍受失败甚至打算放弃。后来，他仔细观察自然界，并领悟了艺术的真正的含义。他作品里的动物看起来是那么的生动以至于他的作品吸引了很多的收藏者。
