Step Ⅰ Listening Task 1 Do some listening practice on page 41.

questions in Exercise 3. At last, check the answers with the whole class. Task 2 Do some listening practice on page 44. Before listening, ask the students to look at the paintings and discuss in what period of Chinese history they were created. Then, listen to the tape for the first time and number the pictures. Next, listen to it again to write the names of the historical periods when they were painted. At last, listen again and list the features.

Check the answers with the whole class. Step Ⅱ Talking Ask the students to discuss the questions in TALKING in pairs.

T: So far, we have learned some knowledge about the art. Today let’s talk about how to express likes and preferences. Now I’ll show you some sentence structures. Please discuss the questions on page 41 in pairs and make up a dialogue. Show some sentence structures on the screen. I’d prefer...

I’d rather...

I’d like... Which would you prefer...? I really prefer... Would you rather...? Would you like ... or... A few minutes later, ask some students to present their dialogues. Sample dialogue 1: S1: Who are your favorite Chinese artists?

S2: I’d prefer the Chinese famous painter Qi Baishi, who is a master of traditional Chinese realistic painting. He is good at combining two kinds of techniques: traditional Chinese realistic painting and freehand brushwork in traditional Chinese painting.

S1: Would you like any western artists?

S2: Yes, of course. I prefer the Italian artist Giotto di Bondone. He is well-known for his rediscovery of the third dimension.

Sample dialogue 2: S1: What kind of art do you prefer, traditional or modern?

S2: I’d prefer the traditional styles. Chinese traditional painting dates back to the Neolithic Age about 6,000 years ago. According to Chinese tradition, painting is a delineating form of brush lines. In great paintings, the mark of the brush stroke remains invisible, while the structural action of the strokes goes on. Chinese painting is an important part of Chinese culture. It has a long history. Would you like traditional styles?

S1: No, I’d rather enjoy modern styles. The pictures of this kind are designed according to the artists’ own aesthetic values. Their artistic creations are not restricted by any regulations and rules, and sometimes look strange and absurd. The colors used are simple and bright, providing a strong visual effect. Then what would you like, abstract or figurative? S2: I’d prefer the abstract styles. And I like the paintings by Picasso best. Some of his paintings are rich, soft colored and beautiful. Others are ugly, cruel and strange. But such paintings allow us to imagine things for ourselves. They force us to ask ourselves, “What does he see that makes him paint like that?” And we begin to look beneath the surface of the things we see. Would you like the abstract styles? S1: No, I like figurative products very much, such as all kinds of sculptures, stainless steel sculpture, interior ornament, handcraft and so on. I have ever been to a Sand Sculpture Festival. From July 18th to August 1st artists were working daily to build the giant sand sculpture which was ultimately 100 meters long, 100 meters wide and 15 meters tall. Seventy-five international sculptors once again transformed nine million kilos sand into 28 fabulous sand sculptures, creating a fantastic city in sand on the Zeebrugge beach.

Sample dialogue 3: S1: Which style would you prefer, two-dimensional or three-dimensional? S2: I prefer two-dimensional style. My favorite art style is photography. My ideal is to be a photographer. Images and information can be presented to thrill and inspire people.

S1: I’d rather like three-dimensional style. I like pottery very much. Sample dialogue 4:

S1: There are many kinds of folk arts in China, such as paper cutting, kites, jade and other stone carvings, etc. What kind of Chinese art do you like best?

S2: I enjoy paper cutting very much. The crafts use simple materials. Though they require very simple skills, their contents are rich and reveal many local Chinese customs. I think an understanding and scrutiny of paper cuts is a good beginning to get to know and appreciate the complexity of Chinese folk arts. S1: I’d rather like clay figures. Chinese folk artists use simple and cheap materials to make small and delicate handicraft. Clay figurine making is a unique folk handicraft of China. The most famous were the Clay Figurine Zhang made in Tianjin and the Huishan clay figurines made in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province. It has been introduced abroad as a cultural envoy between China and foreign countries, and it has been widely accepted and appreciated by China’s foreign friends. Step Ⅲ

Homework Ask the students to introduce the galleries they have ever been to.
