教学过程与方式

Step I Lead-in

T: You have been in this classroom for a long time. Have you ever noticed the handwritings and pictures by some famous artists hung on the wall? Ss: Yes, we have noticed them.

T: Then do you like them? Ss: Yes, we like them very much. T: From this I can see that you are interested in art. Would you like to tell me the reason why you like art？

Ss: Because art can bring us pleasure, tell us views and attitudes towards life and make us think a lot about life. T: Good. Then can you name a great nineteenth-century Chinese artist?

S: Qi Baishi. He was one of China’s greatest painters, who followed the traditional Chinese style of painting. S: Xu Beihong, who is most famous for his lively paintings of horses. T: Excellent. Do you like traditional Chinese art using brush and ink? Ss: Yes. We all like it. T: OK!

Step II Pre-reading T: Now, look at the three pictures on page 31 and answer the following questions. Show the questions on the screen. 1. Which one do you prefer? 2. Who painted them? 3. What do you think about it?

Allow them enough time to prepare. T: Have you finished? Volunteer?

S: The picture I like best is Picture 3. It’s by Qi Baishi, one of China’s greatest painters. It shows two oxen are walking on the bank of the river with trees around. It is a lively painting in the traditional Chinese style. In the picture, the two oxen look perfectly relaxed.

S: I prefer Picture 2. Maybe it’s by a Chinese artist. This is a very beautiful watercolor. In the picture we can see green trees here and there, a stream running quietly and

high mountains in the distance. Among the trees are a few houses. How peaceful it looks! S: I like Picture 1 best. It’s by Picasso, one of the greatest western artists. Its name is Be Sentenced to Death. It shows a poor woman who was sentenced to death sitting there very sadly. The main color was blue. In this painting, Picasso showed the life of poor unhappy people.

Step III Reading

Task 1 Fast reading T: Now, turn to page 32. You can see four beautiful paintings. On the right of them are six short passages, which tell something about the paintings. I allow you five minutes to read the paragraphs. Then match paintings 1 －

4 with descriptions in paragraphs A －

D. Five minutes later. T: Are you ready? Who’d like to tell us the answers? S: Yes. I think Picture 1 is by Qi Baishi, who is good at brush paintings in black inks and natural colours. So Paragraph C describes Picture 1. T: Good. Next? S: I think Picture 2 is by Picasso, who is good at painting pictures in blue. Furthermore, Picasso often showed his sympathy towards poor and unhappy people.

So Paragraph A describes Picture 2.

T: You are right. What about Picture 3? S: I think Picture 3 is the Six Horses painted by Xu Beihong in 1925. It shows six horses are running towards us. It is a lively painting in the traditional Chinese style. So Picture 3 matches Paragraph D. T: Excellent. The last picture? S: Picture 4 is by a famous American artist named Roy Lichtenstein. So Picture 4 matches Paragraph B.

T: Do you agree with him / her? Ss: Yes. T: Good. Now read the passages again and say which paintings are mentioned in

Paragraphs E and F.

S: In Paragraph E, Wu Hang said he was crazy about the paintings of Qi Baishi and couldn’t stand the picture of a golden-haired girl. Therefore, he mentioned Pictures 1 and 4. S: In Paragraph F, Sarah Hardwick talked about the picture of the six horses and the picture of the young girl by Picasso. So she mentioned Pictures 2 and 3. Task 2 Detailed reading This step is designed to help the students understand the passage further. Ask the students to read Paragraphs A －

F carefully and answer the following questions in pairs. At last ask them to choose the correct answer to Activity 3 on page 34. T: Now, please read the passages carefully and answer the questions on the screen. 1. What’s Qi Baishi’s style of painting? 2. What’s Xu Beihong’s opinion of painting? 3. What’s Xu Beihong famous for? 4. What does “pop art” mean?

5. Which pictures does Wu Hang like and which one does he dislike? 6. Which pictures does Sarah Hardwick love? After a few minutes. T: Now I’m sure that you have finished reading. Let’s ask and answer the questions in pairs. Who’d like to try? S: What’s Qi Baishi’s style of painting? S:He followed the traditional Chinese style of painting.

S: What’s Xu Beihong’s opinion of painting? S: He believed that artists should show reality, but not just imitate it and that a picture should try to show the “life” of its subject.

S: What’s Xu Beihong famous for? S: He is most famous for his lively paintings of horses. S: What does “pop art” mean?

S: Pop art was an important modern art movement that aimed to show ordinary twentieth-century city life.

S: Which pictures does Wu Hang like and which one does he dislike? S: He likes the paintings of Qi Baishi and dislikes the picture of a golden-haired girl. S: Which pictures does Sarah Hardwick love? S: She loves the picture of the six horses and the painting of the young girl. Choose the correct answer to Activity 3 on page 34. T: Good! You all have done a good job. Now turn to page 34. Let’s do Activity 3. A few minutes later. T: Are you ready? Let’s have a check. Who’d like to tell us the answers? ...
