Warming up by operating and explainingWrite Chinese calligraphy and make Chinese painting (maybe you are not good at it, do it just to show the students how it works) with a brush. Ask the students: how do you think of my “works”? Tell the students: you see that these two are closely related because lines are used in both. The Chinese people have turned simple lines into a highly-developed form of art. Lines are not only to draw contours but to express the artists concept and feelings. For different subjects and different purposes a variety of lines are used. They may be straight or curved, hard or soft, thick or thin, pale or dark, and the ink may be dry or running. There are many things to talk about Chinese arts, and western arts, and our text will tell you more. Please open your books, turn to page 32, lets learn some new words first and then read the passage.2. Warming up by showing some paintings and discussing with the studentsHello! Boys and girls, I have some paintings (any Chinese painting will be OK) here to show you: 1) Do you like traditional Chinese arts using brush and ink? 2) Which one do you prefer?3) Are you interested in art?4) What do you think of the second painting? Can you give it a title?Of course, we know unlike Western paintings, where a specific point is made, for Chinese painting, you need to look at the painting as a whole to understand the philosophy behind it. Each object in the painting and the way they are presented has a symbolic meaning that is essential to understanding the painting. The painter can also use different ink strokes to transmit the spirit of his painting and bring movement and life to his work. From an aesthetic point of view, Chinese Traditional Painting still possesses Chinese unique national character although it has much in mon with western painting. Please discuss this topic with your partner.3. Warming up by learning a group of descriptive wordsGood morning, class. Today we are going to read a passage about arts-western, Chinese and pop arts.
