Activity 1: Read the museum introduction, tell what it is about.
SunflowersArles, January 1889, Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890)oil on canvas, 95 cm × 73 cm
Van Gogh’s sunflower paintings are among his most famous, and this one was completed in Arles in 1889. It shows sunflowers in a vase, mostly in three shades of yellow. The colours of the flowers range from bright yellows to brownish yellows, showing that the flowers are at different stages of life.
The sunflower paintings held special meaning for Van Gogh. When his friend Paul Gauguin, who was also a famous painter, came to live with him for a while, he hung the first two in his guest’s room to welcome him.
It introduces Van Gogh’s painting Sunflowers.
Activity 2: Read the museum introduction to the painting and answer the questions.
1. What else do you know about Van Gogh’s sunflower paintings 2. What do you think of this one
1 Sunflowers (original title, in French: Tournesols) is the title of two series of still life paintings by the Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh. The first series, executed in Paris in 1887, depicts the flowers lying on the ground, while the second set, made a year later in Arles, shows a bouquet of sunflowers in a vase. In the artist’s mind both sets were linked by the name of his friend Paul Gauguin, who acquired two of the Paris versions.
About eight months later van Gogh hoped to welcome and to impress Gauguin again with Sunflowers, now part of the painted Décoration for the Yellow House that he prepared for the guestroom of his home in Arles, where Gauguin was supposed to stay. After Gauguin’s departure, van Gogh imagined the two major versions as wings of the Berceuse Triptych, and finally he included them in his Les XX in Bruxelles exhibit.
2 In this painting, there are 15 sunflowers in all directions and in various forms, which are blooming brightly in a yellow vase, showing the painter’s appreciation and love for the life chasing sunshine.
Background informationVincent Willem van Gogh (30 March 1853 – 29 July 1890) was a Dutch Post-Impressionist painter who posthumously became one of the most famous and influential figures in Western art history. In a decade, he created about 2,100 artworks, including around 860 oil paintings, most of which date from the last two years of his life. They include landscapes, still lifes, portraits, and self-portraits, and are characterised by bold colours and dramatic, impulsive and expressive brushwork that contributed to the foundations of modern art. Not commercially successful, he struggled with severe depression and poverty, eventually leading to his suicide at age thirty-seven.

The Renaissance is a period in European history, covering the span between the 14th and 16th centuries.

Beginning in Italy, and spreading to the rest of Europe by the 16th century, its influence was felt in literature, philosophy, art, music, politics, science, religion, and other aspects of intellectual enquiry.

To know the usage of present perfect continuous passive voice and use it correctly.
To use the words and phrases describing Chinese art forms correctly.
目标一：To know the usage of present perfect continuous passive voice and use it correctly
Activity 1: Look at the sentences from the reading passage and answer the questions.
a And just look at how her dress is being folded by the wind!
b I’m being pushed around quite a bit, in fact.
1. What causes the action in sentence (a) The dress or the wind
The wind causes the action.
2. What is happening to “me” in sentence (b)
People around “me” are pushing “me”.
Compare them with the following sentences and answer the questions.
c And just look at how the wind is folding her dress!
d People are pushing me around quite a bit, in fact.
3. What is the difference between the two groups of sentences
The two sentences of the first group use the passive form, while the two of the second group use the active form.
4. Why does the author choose to use the passive form instead of the active form in the reading passage
In the first sentence of the first group, the author is describing the sculpture, so the dress instead of the wind should be the author’s focus and it serves as the subject. In the second sentence of the first group, “I” don’t know the people around “me”, so there is no need to mention who are pushing “me”. As a result, the passive form is used here.
Now look for more sentences with the present continuous passive in the reading passage.
This broadcast is being brought to you from one of the largest museums on Earth - the Louvre! (Para.1)About 35,000 works are currently being displayed in over 300 rooms in the Louvre, and it would take a lifetime to see everything! (Para.5)
Activity 2: Read the sentences and summarise the sentence structures of present perfect passive.
(1) Some trees are being cut down in the park. (2) It is reported that the water in the lake is not being protected now. (3) Are the babies being taken care of by this nurse (4) Who is being trained for the coming English speech contest
肯定句 be(am/is/are)+being done
否定句 be(am/is/are)+not+being done
一般疑问句 be(am/is/are)+主语+being done
特殊疑问句 特殊疑问词+be(am/is/are)+主语+being done

Activity 4: Rewrite the underlined parts using the passive.
Do you think going to a museum is the only way to see art Actually, art is everywhere around us! For example, on some buildings in my city, young people are painting beautiful pictures. Some people don’t like graffiti, but I think it’s really colourful. Even trees can be art—some people are trimming trees into interesting shapes, like animals or clouds. And look up—construction workers are building impressive, original buildings in every neighbourhood. It’s easy to see great art nowadays, because people are creating it everywhere you look.

Yesterday, I went to an amazing Chinese art festival. There were different stands where artists could demonstrate their skills and teach the visitors! It was definitely an exciting experience for a foreign student like me. What caught my attention first was a 15th-century qinghua bowl in a breathtaking exhibition of Chinese 1______________. It vividly illustrated a dragon playing with a ball.
porcelain
Then I tried some 2______________, that is, making images out of paper. It was difficult, but a lot of fun! With help from the artist, I managed to make one in the shape of a fish. Meanwhile, a woman at the next stand was using a needle and some thread to do some 3______________. It looked so pretty! Then I went into a section decorated like a traditional Chinese study, with two beautiful 4 __________________ of a pine tree and some bamboo hung on the walls. There was also an old man writing Chinese 5______________: his writing was so free and elegant! Another man sitting next to him showed me how 6______________ works. Chinese characters are carved into small squares of stone and stamped onto paper with ink. He made one for me with my name in Chinese – pretty awesome!

Activity 3: Work in pairs. Talk about a Chinese art form that your home town is famous for.
My home town is famous for the traditional art of... People use... to...
My home town is famous for the traditional art of paper cutting. Paper cutting sounds very easy but it can be difficult to do. The paper, usually red, is folded before it is cut with scissors. The most common pictures are flowers, animals, and things about Chinese history. During the Spring Festival, they are put on windows, doors and walls as symbols of wishes for good luck and a happy new year.

To express your opinions towards an artwork.
教学目
Lead-in
Since it began in the late 20th century, the Contemporary Art Movement has raised questions and doubts, with people asking, “Is it really art ” This was the case in 1999 with British artist Tracey Emin’s work, My bed – which was, quite literally, her unmade bed. Then, in 2015, cleaners in an Italian gallery threw away an art piece after mistaking the pile of empty bottles, cigarette ends and pieces of coloured paper for rubbish! While some say contemporary art lacks skill, meaning and artistic value, others argue that its worth lies in its ability to stimulate new discussions and understanding of everyday objects.

Student BYou think this painting is boring and meaningless. Share what you think of it, based on the following opinions: It’s just paint poured in random lines and shapes. There is no recognisable form within the painting, so it is difficult to understand. It didn’t require much artistic skill to create. It doesn’t hold as much meaning as more traditional paintings of recognisable subjects.
Sample:
Zoey: Hi, Henry! What do you think of the artwork Henry: That was my favorite piece! It vividly illustrates the artist’s emotion. It is so expressive!Zoey: Really But it is just paint poured in random lines and shapes. I thought it is boring. There is nothing to look at!
Henry: But that’s what’s so clever about it! It has a wonderful sense of movement and energy, pretty awesome!
Zoey: Hmm...But I’m afraid I don’t agree. It is too abstract, and too hard to understand.Henry: I think it shows us the imagination of the artist. When I looked at the details, I could feel the energy, just like dance or music.Zoey: If you say so… But it didn’t require much skill to create. To be honest, I prefer traditional paintings and sculptures.Henry: I know what you mean, but I still think art means different things to different people.
