Reading
Visiting museums is a very rewarding experience. The travel journal below is about a visit to an art museum. Before you read the travel journal, think about the following questions:
What do you think the travel journal talks about according to the title and the pictures
Why do people visit art museums
As I wandered through the lmpressionist gallery, I appreciated masterpieces like The Ballet Class and The Card Players.
Even though I had admired them hundreds of times on my computer screen, nothing could have prepared me for the wonder I felt when I finally laid eyes on the real thing.
While it was hard to pick a favourite painting out of so many amazing works, the artists who made the deepest impression on me were two of the greatest Impressionist painters, Claude Monet and Pierre-Auguste Renoir.
I could see from Monet's works that he was greatly inspired by nature.
In the last three decades of his life he painted mostly scenes from his garden. One of these scenes is shown in the famous piece Blue Water Lilies, which I studied for quite a while in the gallery.
I couldn't believe it when heard he did around 250 paintings of the same water lily pond, all in different colours and styles.
It is amazing that every time Monet studied this simple scene, he brought the pond's beauty to the canvas in a unique way.
Renoir, I noticed, preferred to paint scenes of everyday life. For me, the most interesting of his paintings is his 1876 masterpiece Dance at Le Moulin de la Galette.
which shows life in a busy neighbourhood of Paris on a Sunday afternoon.
When I saw it up close, I was struck by the small areas of light across the painting, and the way the soft edges of the figures seemed to mix together.
There's so much going on but so little clear detail. This effect makes the lively movement of the dance almost jump out at the viewer.
Although the paintings had very different settings, it was their similarities that stayed with me long after I left the Musee d'Orsay--similarities which can be seen throughout the Impressionists' paintings.
Monet and Renoir, along with other like-minded artists, sought liberation from the rules of the old style.
Everyday subject matter was the main focus of their works, as opposed to the history paintings that had traditionally dominated European art.
They employed free brushwork and used colours to show the effect of light on things, creating paintings that were far less realistic than the works that came before.
To me, these techniques are the essence of the Impressionist view of art.
Impressionist artists did not try to paint every detail in a scene--just a brief “impression” they had at that moment, burning with vivid colours and light, before it disappeared.
The Impressionists' vision inspired a whole new generation of Post-Impressionist painters such as Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin, whose works are also displayed at the Musee d'Orsay.
It is also worthy of note that Post-Impressionist painters were not the only ones to be influenced by Impressionism-the movement has had a lasting influence on modern art, encouraging artists to look at the world from an entirely new point of view. It certainly left a lasting impression on me too!
A1 Read the travel journal and write down the main idea of each part in the chart below.
A2 Read the travel journal again carefully and decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F). Note down the sentences in the travel journal that support the true statements and correct the false statements.

4 The Impressionists showed the effect of light on things with colours. T/F
5 Van Gogh was influenced by Impressionism T/F
A3 In pairs, discuss the following questions.
1 Which of the following do you think is most likely to be an Impressionist painting Give your reasons.
I think the painting in the middle is most likely an Impressionist painting because it is probably anormal everyday scene for the painter.
The boat and its surrounding scene are just an impression of what the painter sawso they are not painted in clear detail--the soft edges of the boats , factory chimneys,
sea and sky seem to mix together This tells me that the painter used the Impressionist free brushwork technique.
The painter also used light and vividcolours to express his or her feelings.
2 If you were a tour guide of the Musee d'Orsay, how would you introduce the museum to the visitors
The Musee d'Orsay is a world-famous art museum in Paris, France. It is unusual because it was previously used as arailway station.
This museum is famous for its large collection of paintings from the Impressionist and Post-Impressionistmovements of the 19th century.
It also displays masterpieces from masters such as Claude Monet,Pierre-Auguste Renoir.Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin.

I observed the brushwork they used to enhance their works.I enjoyed the whole experience--to be able to bathe my senses in this palace of human creativity.
It was surprising then to see so many people viewing important and precious artworks through their smartphones.
It might sound shocking, but they seemed more interested in taking photos and recording videos of art works than appreciating them with their own eyes.
How was it possible, I wondered, to truly appreciate the human touch of a great painting when it was reduced to a few million pixels
Looking at artworks through smartphones, I thought, was like trying to appreciate the countryside without being able to hear the birds sing, feel the breeze against my face or smell the flowers.
Moving slowly through the National Gallery, I was determined to keep my smartphone in my bag and appreciate each individual painting with the best camera in the world: my own eyes.

Zhang Zeduan's Qingming Scroll is a master work of Chinese art. Painted on a five-metre-long silk scroll, it offers an important insight into life in China in the 12th century. It is commonly believed that the city described in the painting is Bianjing (present-day Kaifeng), the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty.
The ancient scroll has survived the test of time remarkably well, and is currently housed in the Palace Museum in Beijing.
The scroll consists of three main sections. The first section presents a peaceful scene of rural life near Bianjing, featuring crop fields, a river winding through the landscape, and farmers hard at work.
The second section shows the riverbanks and the central bridge alive with activity as boats sail in and out of Bianjing.
Civilians can also be seen walking through the city gate in both directions. The third and final section pictures life inside the city itself. Here, hundreds of people from all walks of life, including butchers, hairdressers and government officials, can be seen going about their daily business.
The combination of these three sections gives the viewer an idea of what life was like for the people of Bianjing Zhang's amazing artistic technique is apparent all across the scroll. Using ink on silk, he creates realistic images of scenery, buildings and people, and displays are markable mastery of perspective.
The most impressive aspect of the painting, however, is probably Zhang's precise brushwork.
This well-developed ability, as well as the scroll's ambitious size, allows Zhang to show an enormous amount of detail-you could study the painting for hours and still discover something new.
Thanks to all this fine detail, the Qingming Scroll provides a comprehensive look at life during the Northern Song Dynasty.
It reveals a great deal about the12th-century Chinese customs, clothing, transportation methods, business practices, and a wide range of buildings, such as temples, teahouses and government structures.
At first sight, the overall scene of life in the capital city appears peaceful and cheerful. However, some critics suggest that on closer inspection, the painting actually exposes serious political and social problems. Some boats carrying food do not seem to belong to the government, which suggests that the government has lost control of food supplies and transportation.
Also in the painting are soldiers who appear to ignore their duties. There are some less obvious indicators of trouble too. For example, in the centre of the scroll, a boat is in danger of crashing into the bridge.
These sorts of details point to a crisis developing in the city.
In fact, the Northern Song Dynasty was in decline by this stage.
About twenty years after the painting was completed, it was overthrown.
Zhang's timeless scroll is an important example of realism in the history of Chinese paintings.
Its value is down not only to its great scale, artistic quality and attention to detail, but also to its representation of daily life.
Such is its worth that several later emperors even asked the most talented artists of their day to make copies of the scroll. Some of these copies are now regarded as precious works of art in their own right.
With the Qingming Scroll, Zhang made an outstanding contribution to Chinese art and greatly influenced generations of future artists.
The original scroll is still in one piece despite its age, but it is extremely delicate. Because of this, it is not often displayed to the public.
The last time it was on exhibition, crowds waited in line for hours for the rare chance to see the famous painting with their own eyes.
The public's continued enthusiasm about the Qingming Scroll, even after all these centuries, speaks volumes about the power of this historic piece of art.
