Chinese art forms
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 . It vividly illustrated a dragon playing with a ball.

Then I tried some , that is, making images out of paper. It was difficult, but a lot of fun! With the 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 . It looked do pretty!
Then I went into a section decorated like a traditonal Chinese study, with two beautiful of a pine tree and some bamboo hung on the walls.

There was also an old man writing Chinese : his writing was so free and elegant! Another man sitting next to him showed me how 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!

Contemporary art
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 undertanding of everyday objects.

Jill: Hi, Andrew! What did you think of the art exhibition
Andrew: I thought there were so many interesting ideas! I especially liked the piece called Empty.
Jill: Really But that was just a piece of paper painted all white. I thought it was boring. There was nothing to look at!
Andrew: But that’s what’s so clever about it! The viewer can decide what it means. It was really fun to look at.
Now talk about how Jill and Andrew express their opinions towards contemporary artworks. Listen again if necessary.

Jill: Hmm... I’m afraid I don’t agree. It had no meaning for me.
Andrew: How about Living Room What did you think of it
Jill: The one copying nothing but the artist’s living room I thought that was rather lazy! The artist didn’t actually create anything, so that’s not art!
Andrew: I thought it showed us that everyday objects can also be art. When I looked at the details like the coffee cup and the book, I could tell how the artist lives.
Now talk about how Jill and Andrew express their opinions towards contemporary artworks. Listen again if necessary.

Jill: Well, I just wanted to take a rest on that sofa! What did you think of those cardboard boxes called Future
Andrew: That was my favourite piece! I think the artist was asking, “In the future, will art be like the boxes Like something we can easily get and throw away ” It really explored the nature of art.
Jill: If you say so... But to me it was just a pile of boxes anyone can make, and I could only think about how my cat would love to play in them! To be honest, I prefer traditional paintings and sculptures. They’re easier to understand.
Andrew: I know what you mean, but I still think art should have different meanings for everyone.

You 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.
