Developing ideas

Watch the video and answer the questions.
1
1 How many artworks did you see
2 What methods did they use to create the artworks
3 Do you think technology can be considered a form of art
Read the passage and compare your ideas with those of the author.
2
1 Think “art”. What comes to your mind Is it Greek or Roman sculptures in the Louvre， or Chinese paintings in the Palace Museum Or maybe，just maybe，it′s a dancing pattern of lights
2 The artworks by American artist Janet Echelman look like colourful floating clouds when they are lit up at night. Visitors to one of her artworks in Vancouver could not only enjoy looking at it，they could also interact with it- literally. They did this by using their phones to change its colours and patterns. Exhibits such as these are certainly new and exciting，but are they really art
3 Whatever your opinion， people have been expressing their thoughts and ideas through art for thousands of years. To do this, they have used a variety of tools and technologies. Yet Michelangelo and others have been labelled as “artists” rather than “technicians”，This means that art and technology have always been seen as two very separate things.
4 Today，however， technological advances have led to a combination of art and technology. As a result，the art world is changing greatly. Now art is more accessible to us than ever before.
Take for example one of China′s most famous paintings from the Song Dynasty，Along the River During the Oingming Festival. As this artwork is rarely on display， people have sometimes queued up to six hours for a chance to see it. Once in front of the painting，they only have limited time to spend taking in its five metres of scenes along the Bian River in Bianjing.
Thanks to technology however，millions more people have been able to experience a digital version of this painting. Three – dimensional (3D) animation means that viewers can see the characters move around and interact with their surroundings. They can also watch as the different scenes change from daylight into nighttime.
5 The art-tech combination is also changing our concepts of “art” and the “artist”. Not only can we interact with art，but also take part in its creation. With new technological tools at our fingertips，more and more people are exploring their creative sides. The result has been exciting new art forms，such as digital paintings and videos.
6 However，the increase in the amount and variety of art produced has also raised questions over its overall quality，Can a video of someone slicing a tomato played in slow motion really be called “art”
7 Similarly，such developments are making the line between art and technology less distinct. Can someone unfamiliar with traditional artists′ tools really call themselves an “artist”
And is the artist the creator of the art itself，or the maker of the technology behind it A recent project used technology and data in the same way that Rembrandt used his paints and brushes. The end result，printed in 3D, was a new “Rembrandt painting” created 347 years after the artist′s death. These advances are perhaps bringing us closer to a time when computers rather than humans create art.
8 Where technology will take art next is anyone′s guess. But one thing is for sure-with so many artists exploring new possibilities，we can definitely expect the unexpected.
Organise information from the passage and complete the diagram.

9. Where technology will take art next

Work in groups. Hold a debate on whether technology has had a positive effect on art.
4
1 Divide each group in half. Each half takes a side in the depate.
2 Do further research to find more arguments and supporting examples besides those in the passage.
3 Organise your ideas from the most important to the least important.
4 Hold the debate.
Now think about your performance in the debate. Vote for a group member who performs the best. Ask them to share their experience.

Writing an invitation
Read the invitation to an art festival and answer the questions.
5
1 What is the topic of each paragraph
2 Is the invitation written informal or informal style Give three examples.
■ Learning to learn
An invitation should give clear details about the name，place and time of the event and details about how to reply. A formal invitation letter may use either the third person or first person “we” with the place and date often spelt out. The wording and tone should be formal rather than conversational.
Imagine you are helping to prepare an art festival in your school. Answer the questions to help you write the invitation.
