Passage 1(快乐阅读2014第5期P10)
Leonardo da Vinci
Most of us know that Leonardo da Vinci was a great painter. However, he was also a talented sculptor, musician, poet, scientist, architect, and engineer. His work had a strong influence on artists throughout Europe, and his scientific ideas were centuries ahead of their time.
Leonardo da Vinci was born in 1452 in the town of Vinci, near Florence, Italy. At the age of 15, Leonardo went to work with a famous artist. He studied painting, sculpture, music, mathematics, and science. By 20, he was a master painter. Leonardo was so talented that one day one of his teachers threw down his brushes and never painted again.
Da Vinci created a new, more realistic style of painting and his works were magnificent and unique. At that time, when artists painted people, they looked flat, but da Vinci’s looked real. No other artists of his time painted people or animals as well as da Vinci did. His famous painting, the Mona Lisa, is a good example of his style. Da Vinci took four years to paint the Mona Lisa. Unfortunately, the man
who ordered the painting didn’t like it and refused to pay for him. However, ten years later, da Vinci
sold it to the King of France for 492 ounces of gold (about$300,000). The King hung it in the Louvre palace in Paris. Today the Mona Lisa still hangs in the Louvre, which is now a museum.
Although da Vinci was a great painter, he never gave up his interest in other subjects. He liked to do research in many different areas. He wanted to understand everything he saw. Many people think of him as the first modern scientist because he liked to make observations and look for explanations for things. For example, he was one of the first people to dissect human bodies. He cut the bodies open in order to figure out how they worked. Da Vinci wrote down all his ideas and observations in notebooks. He also filled the notebooks with more than 5,000 drawings of plants, animals, and the human body. Da Vinci was a great inventor, too. His scientific research and knowledge of architecture and mathematics helped him to design many new things. For example, he drew a flying machine 400 years before the airplane was invented. He also designed an air conditioner, an alarm clock, a reading lamp, a bridge, and many other things. In all, da Vinci designed more than 1,000 inventions. Unfortunately, he did not have time to develop many of his ideas.
During his lifetime, da Vinci traveled to all the great cities of Italy and did many different kinds of works. Once, when he was trying to get a job, he made a list of 36 different jobs he could do. In addition to working as artist, he had also worked as an architect and engineer. He designed buildings and canals, and he figured out how to change the direction of rivers.
Later in life, da Vinci went to Rome to work for the pope. However, he was unhappy there because the younger artists were given more work than he was. As da Vinci grew older, he stayed alone more and more. Although people admired him, many didn’t understand him because his ideas were far ahead of his time. Da Vinci spent the last years of his life working for King Francis I of France. He made architectural designs, worked on engineering projects, and entertained the king with all his ideas. He also worked on his notebooks so they could be published after his death. Da Vinci died peacefully on May 2, 1519, at the age of 67.

Passage 2
The world’s largest and longest 3D street painting
The world-famous Chinese artist Yang Yongchun (杨永春) showed his biggest work of art yet. Named Pulse of Youth(“青春的律动”), the 3D street painting that received two Guinness World Record titles—for the largest and longest street painting in the world—measures 365 meters long and covers 2,600 square meters of a path on the campus of Nanjing’s Communication University of China(南京中国传媒大学) . Its creators led by famous Chinese artist Yang Yongchun were awarded the certificate by the Guinness World Records at a ceremony held in the university.
The painting took the team of artists 20 days to complete. According to Yongchun, the painters worked continuously from early morning to late evening, stopping only when it was too dark to tell the colors apart. Created as a gift for the upcoming 2nd Summer Youth Olympics that are scheduled to take place in Nanjing from August 16th-28th,2014, the painting describes the games complete with its mascot(吉祥物) Lele as well as the impressive architectural landscape of Nanjing and the Yangtze River that runs through it.
While the size is certainly impressive, what is even more so is that Pulse of Youth appears three-dimensional. Before this, the record for the longest and largest 3D street painting belonged to British artist Joe Hill who created a 348-ft 9-inch long masterpiece that covered 12,490 square feet of London’s Canary Wharf on November 17th, 2011, to celebrate Guinness World Record Day.
Not surprisingly, the longest street painting that will be open to the public for the next two months, is a big hit among the university students, who think that it is so much better to look at, than boring gray asphalt(沥青).

The Power of Arts
Involvement in the arts is associated with gains in knowledge and improvement in motivation (积极性,动机)and so on. A 2005 report by the Rand Corporation showed that art experience can connect people more deeply to the world and open them to new ways of seeing. Arts initiatives are taking root in a growing number of school districts to teach students to be human beings who can enjoy the deeper forms of beauty.
Throughout the ages art has played a crucial role in life. Art is universal and we can experience it on a daily basis — from the houses we live in (architecture) to the movies we see (theatre) to the books that we read (literature).Art is everywhere, it and we are closely related, it impacts our lives through our life.
Most art is created for a specific reason or purpose, and it has a way of expressing ideas and beliefs. Art can reflect a state of mind, a state of life in this colorful world.
