A SHORT HISTORY OF WESTERN PAINTING
What is Western art？ It is hard to give a precise① definition②.[1]As
there have been so many different styles③ of Western art， it is impossible
to describe them all in a short text.[2]Perhaps the best way to understand
Western art is to look at the development of Western painting over the
centuries.

The Middle Ages④ （from the 5th to the 15th century）
During the Middle Ages， the purpose of Western art was [3]to teach
people about Christianity⑤.Thus， artists were not interested in painting
realistic⑥ scenes.Their works were often primitive⑦ and two-
dimensional⑧， and the main characters⑨ were often made much larger
than everyone else [4]to show their importance.This began to change in
the 13th century with Giotto di Bondone⑩ （1267－1337）.[5]While his
paintings still had religious themes ， they showed real people in a real
environment.In particular ， his paintings are set apart from other
paintings by their realistic human faces and deep emotional impact .

The Renaissance （from the 14th to the 17th century）
New ideas and values gradually replaced [6]old ones from the
Middle Ages.As a result ， painters concentrated less on religious
themes.They began to adopt a more humanistic attitude to life.An
important breakthrough during this period was the use of perspective by
Masaccio （1401－1428）.Influential painters such as Leonardo da
Vinci （1452－1519）， Michelangelo （1475－1564）， and
Raphael （1483－1520） built upon Giotto and Masaccio’s
innovations [7]to produce some of the greatest art that Europe had ever

innovation n.创新
Another innovation was the use of oil paints.[8]With their deep
colours and realism， some of the best oil paintings look like
photographs.While painters as early as Da Vinci had used oil， this
technique reached its height with Rembrandt （1606－1669），
[9]who gained a reputation as a master of shadow and light.

In subject matter， the emphasis increasingly shifted from
religious themes to people and the world around us.Kings， nobles ，

[11]showing important historical events or stories from mythology
.Finally， most clients wanted paintings [12]that were beautiful and

Impressionism （late 19th to early 20th century）
The development of Western art slowed until the
invention of photography in the mid-19th century.
After that， paintings were no longer needed to
preserve [13] what people and the world looked
like.Hence ， painters had to find a new way of looking at their
art.From this， Impressionism emerged in France.The name of this
new movement came from the painting by Claude Monet （1840－
1926） [14]called Impression， Sunrise .In this work， Monet’s aim
was [15]to convey the light and movement in the scene — the
subjective impression [16]the scene gave him — but not a detailed
record of the scene itself.
[13]what引导宾语从句，作动词preserve的宾语。
[14]过去分词短语作后置定语，修饰名词painting。
[15]动词不定式短语作表语。

句，修饰先行词impression。

others， such as Renoir （1841－1919）， focused on people.Unlike
the cold， black-and-white photographs of that time period， Renoir’s
paintings are full of light， shadow， colour， and life.[17]He sought to
show not just the oute image of his subjects， but their inner warmth
and humanity as wel .
Modern Art （from the 20th century to today）
After Impressionism， subsequen artists began to ask，“What do
we do next？” Painters such as Picass （1881－1973） tried to
analys the shapes [18]which existed in the natural world but in a new
way， with Cubis .Others gave their paintings a realistic but dream-
like quality.Still others turned to abstrac art.What they attempted to do
was no longer show reality， but instead to ask the question，“What is
art？”

参考译文
西方绘画简史
什么是西方艺术？很难给出一个明确的定义。由于西方艺术风格
多种多样，不可能在一篇短文中描述全部。也许，了解西方艺术的最
好方法就是回顾若干个世纪以来西方绘画的发展。
中世纪时期（5－15世纪）
中世纪时期，西方艺术的目的是向人们传授基督教。因此，艺术
家们对描绘真实场景并无兴趣，他们的作品通常较为粗糙且二维化，
主体人物也通常被塑造得比其他人高大许多，以显示其重要性。13世
纪乔托·迪·邦多纳的出现改变了这一现象。尽管他的绘画仍是宗教主
题，但展示了真实环境中的真实人物。他的绘画尤其以逼真的人脸和
强烈的情感冲击而与众不同。
文艺复兴时期（14－17世纪）
新的思想和价值观逐渐取代了中世纪时期旧的思想和价值观。因
此，画家们较少关注宗教主题。他们开始对生活采取一种更为人性化
的态度。这一时期的一项重大突破是马萨乔对透视法的运用。一些颇
具影响力的画家，例如莱昂纳多·达·芬奇、米开朗琪罗和拉斐尔，在
乔托和马萨乔的创新基础上继续发展，创作出欧洲前所未见的一些最
伟大的艺术作品。
另一大创新是油性颜料的使用。凭借其浓重的色彩和写实主义，
一些最好的油画作品看上去与照片相似。尽管早在达·芬奇时代，一些
画家就使用油彩绘画，但伦勃朗使得这种技艺达到顶峰，他拥有“光
影大师”的雅称。
在题材方面，重心日益从宗教主题转向我们身边的人与世界。国
王、贵族和地位显赫的人都想购买自己及其所爱之人的精确画像，而
其他人想要的则是展示重大历史事件或神话故事的绘画。最后，大多
数顾客想要的是漂亮、有趣的绘画。
印象派时期（19世纪末－20世纪初）
在19世纪中叶摄影术发明之前，西方艺术发展缓慢。摄影术发明
之后，绘画不再需要保留人与世界的模样。因此，画家必须找到一种
新的方式来看待他们的艺术。于是，印象主义在法国应运而生。这项
新运动的名称源自克劳德·莫奈名为《日出·印象》的绘画作品。在这
幅作品里，莫奈的目的是传递场景中的光与运动——即场景给予他的
主观印象，而非对场景本身的一种具体记录。
虽然许多印象派画家描绘的是大自然或日常生活中的场景，但是
雷诺阿等其他画家却侧重于人物。与那一时期冷色调的黑白照片不
同，雷诺阿的绘画饱含光影、色彩和生活元素。他力求既展示主题人
物的外在形象，又展现其内在的温暖和人性。
现代艺术时期（20世纪至今）
在印象主义之后，后来的艺术家们开始发问：“接下来我们应该
做什么？”毕加索等画家试图分析自然世界中存在的形状，但是以一
种新的方式——立体主义。其他画家则赋予自己的绘画一种写实却又
梦幻般的品质。还有一些画家则转向抽象艺术。他们所做的尝试不再
是展示现实，而是提出这一问题：“艺术是什么？”

A
According to a recent report， people aged between 16 and 24 make
up about 15 percent of the population but only 10 percent of museum-
goers.Similarly， people aged over 35 go half as much as you would
expect from their population size.We have reached the point of
recognizing the disconnection between art and the audience but haven’t
yet determined how to bridge the gap.Two answers to dealing with this
challenge lie in telling a greater diversity of art histories and
communicating these stories in much easier ways.
In 2022， a radio program called Art Matters was started with the aim
of discussing art from a pop-culture viewpoint with topics that would
attract younger and more diverse audience.It offers access to art history
with conversations on different topics.Art history is about storytelling；
art content shines when there is an effort to bring the audience along for the
discussion.
More traditional organizations are paying attention.Recently the
Getty Museum issued a social-media challenge for people to recreate
paintings using items they had at home.To their amazement， users
displayed incredible creativity and involvement.This reaction sets an
example for other museums and galleries， proving that there is a potential
desire for the audience to connect with art topics if the type of activity is
appealing.Since many people feel intimidated and think that it requires a
base level of understanding to join the conversation， the Getty Museum
serves as a reminder that there are many pathways to engaging with it.
Social media have offered a platform for people who have not
traditionally had a seat at the table.Anyone can recognize a gap in the field
and address it.Accounts have gathered tens of thousands of followers，
which proves that there is hunger to hear these art histories， and these
themes work brilliantly for museum programming.

B
Jim Denevan is an amazing artist whose work is admired by all， but
owned by none — that’s because all of Jim’s art is created on an
unusual canvas （画布） — the soft sand.He sometimes spends days
working on a piece， only to see it washed away by the sea or a storm and
that is just the way he likes it.
Denevan discovered his artistic talent about ten years ago， when he
was wandering aimlessly on the beach with a stick.He ended up drawing a
12-foot-long fish.Since then，Jim has traveled over 1，800 miles while
creating over 600 pieces of sand art.
Over the years， his drawings have become bigger， but the tools he
uses haven’t changed — all he needs is a stick， a garden rake （耙），
and most importantly， his lively imagination！
Just like any good artist，Jim is quite particular about the “quality”
of his canvas， sometimes walking for miles， in search of perfect
sand.His latest piece of work， which is also the world’s largest
freelance （自由职业的） drawing， was created in the desert sands of
Nevada.It took Jim three trips， eight days and over 100 miles of walking
to create this 3-mile work of art.It took the storm just one night to destroy
it！However，Jim says he actually enjoys watching the waves or rain
wash his paintings away.
Jim’s art has become very popular over the years and was even the
topic of a documentary named “Sandman” in 2005.Jim Denevan is not
just about art in the sand — he is also an excellent cook and founder of an
organization called “Outstanding in the Field”， whose motto （座右
铭） is to celebrate food at its source.Accordingly， group dining events
are held outdoors on farms， with the diners being treated to a delicious
meal.The events， which are held in different farms throughout
America， are always sold out the minute the schedule is announced.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Inakadate is considered the home of Tanbo art， a rice field art
form.Its story as a world-renowned tourist destination began in the early
1990s， when local authorities realized that youths were moving to large
urban centers continuously， and started brainstorming for ways of
reviving （复兴） the village.One of the proposed ideas was an art form
inspired by the local’s traditional rice farming， done by hand for
hundreds of years.Tanbo art involved the use of rice varieties of different
colors to turn local rice fields into giant canvases for complicated designs
that revealed their beauty when viewed from above.
The first rice field artwork was unveiled in 1993， when purple and
yellow rice plants were used to create a detailed picture of Mt.Iwaki — the
highest mountain in Aomori — along with easily recognized characters.A
viewing platform was set up somewhere above the rice field， from which
people could admire the unique artwork in all its glory.The project was so
successful that Inakadate authorities decided to turn it into a yearly event.
To create the impressively massive rice field artworks， locals use a
technique which involves surveying the rice fields， perspective drawing
（透视绘图）， and the handmade plantation of various types of rice
plants to create the desired visual effect.Tanbo art has come a long way in
the last three decades， with designs gradually becoming larger and more
complicated.
Many locals say that Tanbo art has saved Inakadate， bringing in
impressive numbers of people from all over the world and boosting the
local economy.According to Cool Japan， around 200，000 people
flocked to Inakadate to see its unique artworks in 2006， and by 2016 that
number had ballooned to around 340，000.

Like so many， my journey as an artist started at a very young age.I
can see now as my youngest child is in his second year of primary school
just how early it must have been within me.There are so many
similarities.He is always so meticulous （一丝不苟的） about his work
and integrates some kind of drawing.I remember doing this as a child，
spending hours on a drawing for no other reason than being buried in the
art.As a child， I remember being drawn by the smell and feel of a fresh
packet of pencils.My creative nature stayed with me during school but not
overly so， and as I was becoming an adult， I remember being told that I
needed to “find something that I loved to do” when deciding on the next
step.From there I became a graphic designer and shifted to web design
back in the day when it was a very specialised field.
Naturally I was spending lots of time on the Internet， so it was there
that I looked and came across an online forum （论坛） of artists and
within that I got to know a group of coloured pencil artists who had posted
tutorials online of how to work with pencils.I took one look at a few of
those well-known artists’ works and it was there that my love affair with
pencils began.
After a year or so I decided that I wanted to connect with other
American coloured pencil artists， decided to put my web skills to the task
and built a website sharing my coloured pencil findings.With that came
the American Coloured Pencils Network （ACPN）.I am proud of the
achievement and have made some excellent online American pencil
friends.Involvement has dwindled slightly in the past year with the arrival
of other social media websites， but I am still passionate about making
coloured pencil art grow into its next phase.

Every time we open a magazine， turn on the TV， or drive past a
billboard， we see how far our personal reality is from the standard
publicized by the media.8.（ ） Here are some thoughts that help
you embrace your true beauty.
Look around you.
Take a good look at the people in your life that you love — your
parents， your siblings， and your close friends.It’s likely that most of
them aren’t as beautiful as public figures， and yet， are they not
beautiful to you？Look at the familiar faces， the warm smiles， the kind
gestures， the comforting bodies and arms that embrace you.9.（ ）
You see them as truly beautiful people — and they view you the same
way.
Stop struggling.
There are some elements of our faces and bodies we simply cannot
change.10.（ ） Struggles and resistance do nothing but push further
away from recognizing our true beauty.
11. （ ）
Sometimes we become so disconnected from our true beauty that we
neglect and mistreat our bodies， further making us less confident.But as
you begin to treat your body more lovingly， you will feel better mentally
and physically， affording the clarity to recognize your true inner and
outer beauty.Feed your body with nutritious foods.Move your body
through exercise every day for at least twenty to thirty minutes.12.
（ ）
As Kahlil Gibran said，“Beauty is not in face；beauty is a light in
the heart.” Allow the light in your heart to shine for yourself and others， and in so doing， your entire being will glow with a fire of beauty.
A. Take care of your body.
B. Ignore those looking ugly.
C. Break the bad habits that are harming your body.
D. Beauty is the best version of yourself， inside and out.
E. Each person has an inner beauty that makes them who they are.
F. Rather than struggling against these things， accept them with love.
G. But “true beauty” is much more than having a model-perfect
appearance.

第三步：辨难句拆分解读
1. As there have been so many different styles of Western art， it is
impossible to describe them all in a short text.
句式分析：此句是复合句。as引导 从句；it is
impossible to describe them all in a short text为it is＋形容词＋to
do sth结构， it是 ，
作真正的主语。
自主翻译：
原因状语
形式主语
to describe them all in a short
text
由于西方艺术风格多种多样，不可能在一篇短文中描述
全部。
2. While painters as early as Da Vinci had used oil， this technique
reached its height with Rembrandt （1606－1669）， who gained a
reputation as a master of shadow and light.
句式分析：此句是复合句。While引导 从句，意为
“ ”；who引导 从句，修饰
Rembrandt。
自主翻译：
让步状语
虽然，尽管
非限制性定语
尽管早在达·芬奇时代，一些画家就使用油彩绘画，但
伦勃朗使得这种技艺达到顶峰，他拥有“光影大师”的雅称。
3. In this work，Monet’s aim was to convey the light and movement in
the scene — the subjective impression the scene gave him — but not a
detailed record of the scene itself.
句式分析：此句是复合句。to convey ...是动词不定式短语作
；the scene gave him是省略了关系代词 的定语从
句，关系代词在从句中作 。
自主翻译：
表
语
that/which
宾语
在这幅作品里，莫奈的目的是传递场景中的光与运动—
—即场景给予他的主观印象，而非对场景本身的一种具体记录。

第一步：抒己见提升思维
What’s your opinion about the works of the Impressionists？
I think their works are too abstract and difficult to understand for most
ordinary people.However， their artistic value cannot be
denied.Sometimes， art is to be appreciated， but not to be understood.
第二步：课文语法填空

A SHORT HISTORY OF WESTERN PAINTING
What is Western art？ It is hard to give a precise① definition②.[1]As
there have been so many different styles③ of Western art， it is impossible
to describe them all in a short text.[2]Perhaps the best way to understand
Western art is to look at the development of Western painting over the
centuries.

The Middle Ages④ （from the 5th to the 15th century）
During the Middle Ages， the purpose of Western art was [3]to teach
people about Christianity⑤.Thus， artists were not interested in painting
realistic⑥ scenes.Their works were often primitive⑦ and two-
dimensional⑧， and the main characters⑨ were often made much larger
than everyone else [4]to show their importance.This began to change in
the 13th century with Giotto di Bondone⑩ （1267－1337）.[5]While his
paintings still had religious themes ， they showed real people in a real
environment.In particular ， his paintings are set apart from other
paintings by their realistic human faces and deep emotional impact .

The Renaissance （from the 14th to the 17th century）
New ideas and values gradually replaced [6]old ones from the
Middle Ages.As a result ， painters concentrated less on religious
themes.They began to adopt a more humanistic attitude to life.An
important breakthrough during this period was the use of perspective by
Masaccio （1401－1428）.Influential painters such as Leonardo da
Vinci （1452－1519）， Michelangelo （1475－1564）， and
Raphael （1483－1520） built upon Giotto and Masaccio’s
innovations [7]to produce some of the greatest art that Europe had ever
seen.

Another innovation was the use of oil paints.[8]With their deep
colours and realism， some of the best oil paintings look like

[9]who gained a reputation as a master of shadow and light.

Impressionism （late 19th to early 20th century）
The development of Western art slowed until the
invention of photography in the mid-19th century.
After that， paintings were no longer needed to
preserve [13] what people and the world looked
like.Hence ， painters had to find a new way of looking at their
art.From this， Impressionism emerged in France.The name of this
new movement came from the painting by Claude Monet （1840－
1926） [14]called Impression， Sunrise .In this work， Monet’s aim
was [15]to convey the light and movement in the scene — the
subjective impression [16]the scene gave him — but not a detailed
record of the scene itself.
[13]what引导宾语从句，作动词preserve的宾语。

paintings are full of light， shadow， colour， and life.[17]He sought to
show not just the oute image of his subjects， but their inner warmth
and humanity as wel .
Modern Art （from the 20th century to today）
After Impressionism， subsequen artists began to ask，“What do
we do next？” Painters such as Picass （1881－1973） tried to
analys the shapes [18]which existed in the natural world but in a new
way， with Cubis .Others gave their paintings a realistic but dream-
like quality.Still others turned to abstrac art.What they attempted to do
was no longer show reality， but instead to ask the question，“What is

西方绘画简史
什么是西方艺术？很难给出一个明确的定义。由于西方艺术风格
多种多样，不可能在一篇短文中描述全部。也许，了解西方艺术的最
好方法就是回顾若干个世纪以来西方绘画的发展。
中世纪时期（5－15世纪）
中世纪时期，西方艺术的目的是向人们传授基督教。因此，艺术
家们对描绘真实场景并无兴趣，他们的作品通常较为粗糙且二维化，
主体人物也通常被塑造得比其他人高大许多，以显示其重要性。13世
纪乔托·迪·邦多纳的出现改变了这一现象。尽管他的绘画仍是宗教主
题，但展示了真实环境中的真实人物。他的绘画尤其以逼真的人脸和
强烈的情感冲击而与众不同。
文艺复兴时期（14－17世纪）
新的思想和价值观逐渐取代了中世纪时期旧的思想和价值观。因
此，画家们较少关注宗教主题。他们开始对生活采取一种更为人性化
的态度。这一时期的一项重大突破是马萨乔对透视法的运用。一些颇
具影响力的画家，例如莱昂纳多·达·芬奇、米开朗琪罗和拉斐尔，在
乔托和马萨乔的创新基础上继续发展，创作出欧洲前所未见的一些最
伟大的艺术作品。
另一大创新是油性颜料的使用。凭借其浓重的色彩和写实主义，
一些最好的油画作品看上去与照片相似。尽管早在达·芬奇时代，一些
画家就使用油彩绘画，但伦勃朗使得这种技艺达到顶峰，他拥有“光
影大师”的雅称。
在题材方面，重心日益从宗教主题转向我们身边的人与世界。国
王、贵族和地位显赫的人都想购买自己及其所爱之人的精确画像，而
其他人想要的则是展示重大历史事件或神话故事的绘画。最后，大多
数顾客想要的是漂亮、有趣的绘画。
印象派时期（19世纪末－20世纪初）
在19世纪中叶摄影术发明之前，西方艺术发展缓慢。摄影术发明
之后，绘画不再需要保留人与世界的模样。因此，画家必须找到一种
新的方式来看待他们的艺术。于是，印象主义在法国应运而生。这项
新运动的名称源自克劳德·莫奈名为《日出·印象》的绘画作品。在这
幅作品里，莫奈的目的是传递场景中的光与运动——即场景给予他的
主观印象，而非对场景本身的一种具体记录。
虽然许多印象派画家描绘的是大自然或日常生活中的场景，但是
雷诺阿等其他画家却侧重于人物。与那一时期冷色调的黑白照片不
同，雷诺阿的绘画饱含光影、色彩和生活元素。他力求既展示主题人
物的外在形象，又展现其内在的温暖和人性。
现代艺术时期（20世纪至今）
在印象主义之后，后来的艺术家们开始发问：“接下来我们应该
做什么？”毕加索等画家试图分析自然世界中存在的形状，但是以一
种新的方式——立体主义。其他画家则赋予自己的绘画一种写实却又
梦幻般的品质。还有一些画家则转向抽象艺术。他们所做的尝试不再
是展示现实，而是提出这一问题：“艺术是什么？”

According to a recent report， people aged between 16 and 24 make
up about 15 percent of the population but only 10 percent of museum-
goers.Similarly， people aged over 35 go half as much as you would
expect from their population size.We have reached the point of
recognizing the disconnection between art and the audience but haven’t
yet determined how to bridge the gap.Two answers to dealing with this
challenge lie in telling a greater diversity of art histories and
communicating these stories in much easier ways.
In 2022， a radio program called Art Matters was started with the aim
of discussing art from a pop-culture viewpoint with topics that would
attract younger and more diverse audience.It offers access to art history
with conversations on different topics.Art history is about storytelling；
art content shines when there is an effort to bring the audience along for the
discussion.
More traditional organizations are paying attention.Recently the
Getty Museum issued a social-media challenge for people to recreate
paintings using items they had at home.To their amazement， users
displayed incredible creativity and involvement.This reaction sets an
example for other museums and galleries， proving that there is a potential
desire for the audience to connect with art topics if the type of activity is
appealing.Since many people feel intimidated and think that it requires a
base level of understanding to join the conversation， the Getty Museum
serves as a reminder that there are many pathways to engaging with it.
Social media have offered a platform for people who have not
traditionally had a seat at the table.Anyone can recognize a gap in the field
and address it.Accounts have gathered tens of thousands of followers，
which proves that there is hunger to hear these art histories， and these
themes work brilliantly for museum programming.

Jim Denevan is an amazing artist whose work is admired by all， but
owned by none — that’s because all of Jim’s art is created on an
unusual canvas （画布） — the soft sand.He sometimes spends days
working on a piece， only to see it washed away by the sea or a storm and
that is just the way he likes it.
Denevan discovered his artistic talent about ten years ago， when he
was wandering aimlessly on the beach with a stick.He ended up drawing a
12-foot-long fish.Since then，Jim has traveled over 1，800 miles while
creating over 600 pieces of sand art.
Over the years， his drawings have become bigger， but the tools he
uses haven’t changed — all he needs is a stick， a garden rake （耙），
and most importantly， his lively imagination！
Just like any good artist，Jim is quite particular about the “quality”
of his canvas， sometimes walking for miles， in search of perfect
sand.His latest piece of work， which is also the world’s largest
freelance （自由职业的） drawing， was created in the desert sands of
Nevada.It took Jim three trips， eight days and over 100 miles of walking
to create this 3-mile work of art.It took the storm just one night to destroy
it！However，Jim says he actually enjoys watching the waves or rain
wash his paintings away.
Jim’s art has become very popular over the years and was even the
topic of a documentary named “Sandman” in 2005.Jim Denevan is not
just about art in the sand — he is also an excellent cook and founder of an
organization called “Outstanding in the Field”， whose motto （座右
铭） is to celebrate food at its source.Accordingly， group dining events
are held outdoors on farms， with the diners being treated to a delicious
meal.The events， which are held in different farms throughout
America， are always sold out the minute the schedule is announced.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了艺术家Jim Denevan以沙

快速阅读下列句子并猜测句中加蓝词汇的意思
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Inakadate is considered the home of Tanbo art， a rice field art
form.Its story as a world-renowned tourist destination began in the early
1990s， when local authorities realized that youths were moving to large
urban centers continuously， and started brainstorming for ways of
reviving （复兴） the village.One of the proposed ideas was an art form
inspired by the local’s traditional rice farming， done by hand for
hundreds of years.Tanbo art involved the use of rice varieties of different
colors to turn local rice fields into giant canvases for complicated designs
that revealed their beauty when viewed from above.
The first rice field artwork was unveiled in 1993， when purple and
yellow rice plants were used to create a detailed picture of Mt.Iwaki — the
highest mountain in Aomori — along with easily recognized characters.A
viewing platform was set up somewhere above the rice field， from which
people could admire the unique artwork in all its glory.The project was so
successful that Inakadate authorities decided to turn it into a yearly event.
To create the impressively massive rice field artworks， locals use a
technique which involves surveying the rice fields， perspective drawing
（透视绘图）， and the handmade plantation of various types of rice
plants to create the desired visual effect.Tanbo art has come a long way in
the last three decades， with designs gradually becoming larger and more
complicated.
Many locals say that Tanbo art has saved Inakadate， bringing in
impressive numbers of people from all over the world and boosting the
local economy.According to Cool Japan， around 200，000 people
flocked to Inakadate to see its unique artworks in 2006， and by 2016 that
number had ballooned to around 340，000.

Like so many， my journey as an artist started at a very young age.I
can see now as my youngest child is in his second year of primary school
just how early it must have been within me.There are so many
similarities.He is always so meticulous （一丝不苟的） about his work
and integrates some kind of drawing.I remember doing this as a child，
spending hours on a drawing for no other reason than being buried in the
art.As a child， I remember being drawn by the smell and feel of a fresh
packet of pencils.My creative nature stayed with me during school but not
overly so， and as I was becoming an adult， I remember being told that I
needed to “find something that I loved to do” when deciding on the next
step.From there I became a graphic designer and shifted to web design
back in the day when it was a very specialised field.
Naturally I was spending lots of time on the Internet， so it was there
that I looked and came across an online forum （论坛） of artists and
within that I got to know a group of coloured pencil artists who had posted
tutorials online of how to work with pencils.I took one look at a few of
those well-known artists’ works and it was there that my love affair with
pencils began.
After a year or so I decided that I wanted to connect with other
American coloured pencil artists， decided to put my web skills to the task
and built a website sharing my coloured pencil findings.With that came
the American Coloured Pencils Network （ACPN）.I am proud of the
achievement and have made some excellent online American pencil
friends.Involvement has dwindled slightly in the past year with the arrival
of other social media websites， but I am still passionate about making
coloured pencil art grow into its next phase.

Every time we open a magazine， turn on the TV， or drive past a
billboard， we see how far our personal reality is from the standard
publicized by the media.8.（ ） Here are some thoughts that help
you embrace your true beauty.
Look around you.
Take a good look at the people in your life that you love — your
parents， your siblings， and your close friends.It’s likely that most of
them aren’t as beautiful as public figures， and yet， are they not
beautiful to you？Look at the familiar faces， the warm smiles， the kind
gestures， the comforting bodies and arms that embrace you.9.（ ）
You see them as truly beautiful people — and they view you the same
way.
Stop struggling.
There are some elements of our faces and bodies we simply cannot
change.10.（ ） Struggles and resistance do nothing but push further
away from recognizing our true beauty.
11. （ ）
Sometimes we become so disconnected from our true beauty that we
neglect and mistreat our bodies， further making us less confident.But as
you begin to treat your body more lovingly， you will feel better mentally
and physically， affording the clarity to recognize your true inner and
outer beauty.Feed your body with nutritious foods.Move your body
through exercise every day for at least twenty to thirty minutes.12.
（ ）
As Kahlil Gibran said，“Beauty is not in face；beauty is a light in
the heart.” Allow the light in your heart to shine for yourself and others， and in so doing， your entire being will glow with a fire of beauty.
A. Take care of your body.
B. Ignore those looking ugly.
C. Break the bad habits that are harming your body.
D. Beauty is the best version of yourself， inside and out.
E. Each person has an inner beauty that makes them who they are.
F. Rather than struggling against these things， accept them with love.
G. But “true beauty” is much more than having a model-perfect
appearance.
