Activity 2: Li Zhen has prepared a short class presentation about Qi Baishi and his paintings. Rewrite the underlined sentences with noun clauses to improve her presentation.
Qi Baishi (1864-1957) was one of China’s greatest painters. Between 1902 and 1909, he travelled across China and painted many pictures of scenery. His interest later changed to simple pictures of everyday life, such as vegetables, flowers, birds and insects.
Cabbages are a well-known subject of his works. 1. In one of his works, there is a tiny insect near the cabbage. It makes the painting special. It has some red markings on its back. Its black eyes, which are fixed on the cabbage, show the creature’s interest in the vegetable. 2. It is interesting to note Qi Baishi’s style of painting. His style of painting often leaves the audience guessing as to the meaning of the work and makes them use their imagination. 3. His paintings are highly valued. His style of painting is the reason for this.
