Often, there is a false idea that one must be “in the know” to truly appreciate artworks. However, fine art opens the door to everyone. Learning how to look at and understand artworks requires us to take the time to view, identify and think about them.
Look at Art
As the first step, it’s necessary to take a moment to identify the artwork’s general features:
·Is it a painting, sculpture or craftwork
·Does it appear chaotic(混乱的) or organized
·Are the colors bright or soft
Identify Art and Artists
Knowing when or how the artwork was made and learning something about the artist can reveal more context. We all know the famous painting Guernica is a masterpiece created by Picasso in 1937. However, if we can find out Picasso composed the painting to reflect a bombing during the Spanish Civil War, we’ll know more about its anti-war meaning.
Even if the historical context of an artwork is not apparent, knowing the year of its creation offers more context.
Think About the Meaning
Use what you observed in the first two steps to think about meanings the artwork could have.
Consider what the title, the subjects, or the symbols meant to the artist when he or she created the artwork. What do the colors say about the artist, and how do they apply to the subjects in art For example, the owls in Lebo’s works represent wisdom, but why are they so brightly colored
In addition, ask how art makes you feel. Many artists have specific meanings behind their art, and encourage viewers to come up with their own explanations. Still, every explanation is not automatically correct, which is why the techniques described above are helpful in finding clues.
The next time you’re admiring a work of art, keep these techniques in mind, and its meaning may unfold before your eyes.
1.What is the first step when we are viewing art
A.Doing some research on the artist.
B.Being “in the know” about the work.
C.Identifying the work’s general features.
D.Knowing the year of an artwork’s creation.
2.What should you do when thinking about the meaning of an artwork
A.Explain it freely. B.Choose a title for it.
C.Describe it to the viewers. D.Ask how it makes you feel.
3.Who is the passage probably written for
A.Museum staff. B.Gallery visitors.
C.Professional artists. D.Exhibition organizers.

In many people’s eyes, artist Mark Rothko’s enormous paintings are nothing more than masses of color. Yet, his painting can be worth nearly $100 million. Besides, Pablo Picasso’s twisted faces attract some viewers but terrify others.
Why does the phenomenon happen The answer may lie in our brain networks. Researchers have now developed an algorithm(算法) that can predict art preference by analyzing how a person’s brain breaks down visual information and decides whether a painting is “outstanding”. The findings show for the first time how basic features of a painting combine with human judgment to give art value in our minds.
“Most people, including researchers, consider art preference to be various,” says Anjan Chatterjee, a neurologist(神经病学家) at the University of Pennsylvania who was not involved in the study. In some cases, personal preference is rooted in biology. For instance, sugary foods help us survive, and people tend to share similar standards of beauty when it comes to human faces and landscapes. However, when it comes to art, we seem to care about and value relatively arbitrary(任意的) things, according to Chatterjee.
To figure out how the brain forms value judgments about art, neuroscientist Kiyohito Iigaya and his colleagues first asked more than 1,300 volunteers on the forum Amazon Mechanical Turk to rate a selection of 825 paintings from four Western types including Impressionism, Cubism, Abstract Art and Color Field Painting. Volunteers were all over the age of 18, but researchers didn’t give exact information about their familiarity with art or their ethnic(种族的) or national origin.
The researchers revealed that paintings preferred by the same groups of people tended to share certain visual characteristics. These characteristics all fell into two categories: “Low-level” characteristics, like contrast and color, were intrinsic(固有的) to an image; “High-level” characteristics, like the emotion a painting brought about, required human understanding. Once the method was trained, it could analyze these characteristics in new paintings and accurately predict which works a person would like.
4.What do the cases in Paragraph 1 mainly indicate
A.The value of different works of art.
B.The characteristics of different artists.
C.The importance of appearances.
D.The differences in people’s appreciation of beauty.
5.Which of the following ideas may Anjan Chatterjee support
A.Artworks have fewer arbitrary things to value.
B.People’s preference is mainly rooted in biology.
C.Researchers’ art preference is different from others’.
D.People usually share common feelings towards scenery.
6.Which of the following factors was taken into account during the study
A.The wide range of paintings.
B.The identity of the participants.
C.The background of the paintings.
D.The national origin of the participants.
7.What’s the last paragraph mainly about
A.The process of the study.
B.The findings of the study.
C.The researchers’ different viewpoints.
D.The researchers’ prediction for related research.
