By：Taotao He 130306136 class 2

Three years ago, we did not know each other; three years, let us from the strange to the familiar; three years, everyone grew up; three years, the ups and downs are tasted; years, the emotions are experienced; three in a seemingly very long day so spent. Do you miss three the three years?

Occasionally, I remembered the day three years ago after three years, and it will feel a little funny, a little nostalgia and a little warmth.

Occasionally, I turned up my notes after three years, and I will feel a little familiarity, a little memorizes and a little happiness.

For three years, everyone is more or less changed, and everyone grew up and everyone is more sensible.

The year of 2013, I graduated from my senior high school, June of that year, we left high school. We have been accustomed to in the days when getting hazy and accustomed with sleepy face, brush your teeth and gotten used to lazily to exist. Maybe, we were walking but at the same time we were cursing the hateful educational system and calculate the distance to Friday. Maybe, we went to the classroom to read this morning, but after the investigation by teacher, and then eat breakfast secretly. Look at the curriculum, language, mathematics, English, geography, history and Politics, but not our favorite music. But, we must fill with our oath of youth on the table, write down our helpless on the diary, and use all the time to learn but sleep quietly when the bell rang.

I am afraid of the life of senior high school, but I am so miss the life of senior high school, such as the mood in the senior high school. We fear every time the examination, but also look forward to every test. We fear the results announced, but also look forward to the results announced. We pretend not to care about the grades, but read it again and again when no one sees. And then walk away quietly with the thought thatif the next exam is still no progress, I will no longer work. But hard sweat flows never stop regardless of the results is good or bad.

I used to get up at 5 o’clock in the morning, brush my teeth with closed eyes. I used to run to classroom and then put into closing study. I used to run to restaurant and eat meals in five minters……

I recall those habits over and over again. I thought I would forget those habits at this university life, but I found that these habits ingrained in my mind, they are symbols of my high school. My high school life is spent every day in a tense, but I find I love it so much.

Another year graduation season, I have not yet fully receded ignorant, it’s been pushed parting unknowingly cross the intersection.  This is the season of graduation. After three years of studying, there will be a group of children with happiness go to their ideal university, and go to society to achieve their dream. I left my high school just a year. Iwant to return to the classroom to see my perspiration there. I want to return to the classroom to see the blackboard filled with jobs. I want to go back and look at the back wall of the countdown blackboard. I want to meet my friends that we go through the black June tighter. I want to see the campus filled with tension but laughter…… I always want to cry when I recall the days of high school life. The three passing years is the most beautiful memoriesof youth in the heart.

The life in high school can be bitter, however, the bitter experience is not the life those years, but no longer has that kind of life. Former classmates, former teachers, former campus is disappearing and only leaving a share of less than perfect memories.

Sometimes I really miss you. I do not know the distance you, okay?

The unforgettable three years

Have you seen a film called “up in the wind”? The film, which was absurd but romantic, is about the story of a pair of youth in Nepal. Nepal is a mysterious and charming place, follow me to explore the romantic story belongs to Nepal now!

 By: Xi Juan Ye 130306120 Class 1

 Nepal is a peaceful and mysterious place, so in recent years, more and more Chinese people prefer travel to Nepal. This movie is about the journey of a group of Chinese people, where romantic story of a young couple happened.

There is traditional religious belief in Nepal, people here are more likely to gain the peace of the soul. People and animals can get along with each other happily here, such as elephants and people can play together in the river, people don’t have to worry that the elephant can attack them.

Some beautiful scenery in Nepal more desirable, and people here are very enthusiastic, they will provide the best food and service. Because the distance is close to China, it has become the first vacation choice of Chinese passengers.

With respect to the film, why it is called “up in the wind”? Many people are confused of that, but it has also become the highlight.

At first, the main character in the movie travel to Nepal very reluctantly because they think that poverty and regional conflict happens often in Nepal, where is not safe in the other words. But in the process of travel, they gradually discover the beauty of this small country.

The tour group to the happiest country in the world – Nepal, began the “journey of happiness”. From the beginning of the tour group nuisance, and shortly after building group  in situ dissolution, the hotel is a power failure midnight cry, alone in the top of the mountain inn, a local riots and so on a series of events in the process of travel group members look after each other and understand each other, everyone showed the most true to yourself.

The last day, Wang Can please everyone go paragliding. When several people standing on a cliff, carrying umbrellas tension when can we take off, coach, pointing across the mountains to the Woods to tell them: don’t worry, we have to wait for the wind. When the wind shakes the forest, everybody successfully soared into the sky. When circling in the sky, and everyone’s heart, there’s a slight sigh, traveling along the way, his life, in fact, are not in a hurry to make any decision or change. When you stand at the precipice of life, better do not move, do not rush forward to do perhaps, but quietly, waiting for the winds to.

Nepal is to give people spiritual peace, everyone here can get the safety of the soul. Life is of harmony and freedom to this land of livings. As the movie says, “people will feel stupid, because of ignorance temporarily make your heart covered with a layer of dust, which  does not  matter, there will always be blown open day.”

If you feel confused, come to Nepal, let your heart up in the wind.

It`s not wrong tofollow the rules, but there is something hiding behind the fact,that`s we are losing our heart and inner.

When people hear the music of Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, schubert, it brings people not only the beautiful melody, full of interesting idea, and the most sincere emotion, or quiet, elegant, or shock, inspiration, or joy, happiness, or sadness, melancholy.

Classical music, also called Vienna classical music, is the mainstream music of Europe from 1750 to 1820. Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven are the most famous composers of classical music camp. As the Oxford dictionary writes, classical is something in traditional and serious style. Therefore, many people think this kind of music is serious music and not approachable to common people. Nevertheless, according to the Longman dictionary, classical music is music that people consider serious and that has been popular for a long time. Moreover, classical music is an independent genre and pursuing the rational expression of emotion. Based on this, classical music can be seen as the music that survival during the long history and be loved by people.
I think When people hear the music of Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, schubert, it brings people not only the beautiful melody, full of interesting idea, and the most sincere emotion, or quiet, elegant, or shock, inspiration, or joy, happiness, or sadness, melancholy.
However, with the appearance of pop stars, classical music is no more the popular music among the majority of people in the 21st century. As the rapid development of today’s society, most people will choose pop music to express their emotion. It seems that only the students of Art universities are learning classical music and minority of other people will love it. But it is true that classical music is still unfailing. Firstly, in terms of western world, the situation can be different. Most western people value classical music very much when compared with Chinese. Moreover, in fact, the famous song little star which is known by most people, is originally a classical music song called Twelve Variations on “Ah vous dirai-je, Maman by Mozart. In addition, Chopin is the pop star Jay Zhou’s favorite musician. And some Chopin’s works are cited into Zhou’s songs. Additionally, S.H.E’s ,Won’t to bring up and Jolin’s song respectively use Mozart symphony no. 40and Chopin’s departure as their citations. Although few people know the correlation of these pop songs and classical music, this correlation is still a powerful proof to certify that classical music is enduring. Besides, one of the reasons why the famous cartoon Tom and Jerry win several Oscar awards from 1943 to 1952 is the successful application of classical music as the background music. This success is the recognition of both the cartoon and the classical music in the modern society. In conclusion,
Classical music, not only to the past, to history, it is a part of the future. From the perspective of history, now all genre of music, jazz, punk, pop and rock .in a certain sense, from classical music . Therefore, classical music is all music genres in one of the largest and most comprehensive schools, now is a blend of all the elements of music. Classical music is more than just need to protect the heritage, we can on this basis, continue to write new music hitory.

Nowadays some people think that artists are playing a trick on audience instead of making a contribution to the real art. Some people also hold the opinion that several modern artworks, especially performance arts, are not really worthy to be appreciated. What’s your opinion?

By Yuqing Huang 110112120 Class1

“What the hell is that?” Those words came from my friend Lily, when we went to an art exhibition and were standing in front of a tiny soap box lying in the glass case, which looks completely the same as the soap box we use today.

“I don’t know,” I answered her, as I was confusing as well.

Actually in the late 20th century, there was a similar artwork called < Brillo Boxes >, being put in an art display by a well-known artist named Andy Warhol. It soon triggered a heated discussion about the definition of art. Later on, a new word – “pop art” was born, and it also opened a new era of modern art.

However those new arts do not aim to give you a peaceful, pleasant experience like classic arts. Mostly they want you to be shocked, to feel something new. As a result, some of the artworks seemed entirely “ridiculous”. Here we got some examples.

If you are not an art student, you probably know little about Piero Manzoni, an Italian artist. He put his excrement into 90 cans, numbered them, and sold them as artworks. In 2007, No.18 can was sold at 124,000 euros in Sotheby’s auction (an art auction house in London), this price was as expensive as gold. This “artwork” called “Artist’s Shit”, at the same time he made another one called “Artist’s Breath” which is actually a balloon full of his breath. While you shouted out “It doesn’t make any sense!”, Piero Manzoni may smile at you and say” Artwork doesn’t need a sense.” You might see I put the word “artwork” in quotes, because I’m still not sure whether it should be considered as an artwork. What do you think?

Let’s see another example. A performance artist called Tehching Hsieh imprisoned himself in a cage for one year (1978-1979), with a camera photographing him every day. This artwork called <Cage>, and it was displayed in New York. The most shocking fact in this artwork was that this artist did not talk to anyone during that year. People, especially those who live in noisy cities like New York, had no idea how he conquered the loneliness and against the social instinct of human being. This artwork actually gave the audience a feeling of “pain”. It probably makes people rethink about their life. And it also demonstrates a new meaning of modern art: To show you more possibilities in this world.

But after reading the examples above, you may have a question here: why do modern art no longer offer people a sense of classic beauty?

After classical art has reached its peak around 19th century, artists tried to find another way to express themselves. Thus they started to create new art forms. Now modern artists don’t need to be highly-skilled as ancient artists. All they need is a creative idea, no matter how crazy it might be. A Chinese fireworks artist called Cai Guoqiang held a fireworks display called “One Night Stand” by the Seine River in Paris. He found 50 couples (volunteers) from all over the world and asked them to make love in tents on a yacht. This romantic artwork was popular among French as it related to the French culture. You see, modern artists are usually adventurous and ingenious.

So the next problem would be: how to identify whether an artwork is worthy of appreciation or not? The answer is: Take it easy. Appreciate what you like and forget about others. This is an age full of personalities, and people show their talents in different ways. Nowadays “Everyone can become a celebrity for 15 minutes” (Andy Warhol). If you got a brilliant idea and you are willing to put it into practice, you might be the next artist, who knows?

 

Rembrandt Van Rijn, one of the greatest artists of all time. He has been called “the painter of the soul.” It is the spiritual quality of his work that has contributed to his fame. Like the religious works of Caravaggio, Rembrandt’s paintings from the scriptures are always made to function on a human level through a stark naturalism. Early in his career in Amsterdam, Rembrandt did come under the influence of the work of Rubens and Dutch Caravaggisti, His early paintings, such as the Supper at Emmaus of 1630, were concerned with an intense drama heightened through extreme contrasts of light and dark. Like Van Honthorst, Rembrandt would hide the light source within the picture, creating a dark figure of Christ strongly contrasted with the bright background. This effect is somewhat artificial,as is the pose and expression of the startled disciple whose eyeballs seem to pop from his head as the recognizes the figure before him as the resurrected Christ.

By : Fu Dongyang  110909121  class 2

Rembrandt achieved the spiritual quality of his works through his special handling of light—a treatment that is extremely subtle in graduation of color. Light and its motion across surfaces act as a metaphor for emotion, the subtle states of the psyche. In his second Supper at Emmaus painted almost 20 years later, the device of tenebrism used to produce drama in the previous picture is absent. The contrasts of light and dark are no longer extreme, but have been replaced by gentle gradations, forming a symphony of natural and divine light. The concentration of light behind the head of Christ has formed a kind of halo. An air of tranquility pervades the whole painting. The disciples are shown undergoing a quiet realization, gaining greater faith through the miracle they are witnessing. The stillness and the serenity of the depiction help transport the viewer to an internal or spiritual level of understanding, which is very different from bombastic visions of Italian Baroque, and the brutal frankness of Dutch painting.
The humanistic concerns that underlie Rembrandt’s art often translate into sympathy for the suffering. One of the best examples of this can be seen in the Return of the Prodigal Son of 1665. The work is a mark of respect to the virtue of clemency, and to the love of a father for his son. The story is one of the parables of Christ that describes a father who divides his fortune between his two sons. The good stays at home and saves his money, leading a respectable life. The bad son, by contrast, wastes his inheritance on the pursuit of morally wrong activities, reduced to a state even worse than his father’s servants. In poverty and despair, the prodigal comes home in a state of humility and remorse to be forgiven by his aged father. The story is also a metaphor of the love of God for his children, and Rembrandt’s painting, more than a simple illustration of the story, creates an image of this spiritual love, It goes beyond the works of all other Baroque artists in the evocation of religious mood and them, which may be a commissioned portrait of a couple in the guise of a biblical pair.
As early as 1650s, Rembrandt’s colors became richer and brush strokes more exposed, The end result was a richly varied handling of paint and deeply layered colors. Consequently Rembrandt distanced himself from the current fashion, which inclined toward fine and detailed work. His loose brush work and use of heavy impasto must have been influenced by his familiarity with the late work of Titian.
Consequently accounts sometimes remark disapprovingly of the lack of “finish” or coarseness of Rembrandt’s brushwork, and the artist himself was said to have advised visitors against looking too closely at his paintings. But only by looking closely can we see and enjoy the fluctuating quality of the paint, the golden yellows, the delicate blues and olives, the powerful whites and deep blacks, and the vibrations of the tones and the harmonious fusion of the whole. The broad, calm, relief-like life-size figures reveal a touch of Classical taste, but the use of color is obviously not classical.
