教科版高中数学必修5：2 ART OF PENCILS AND BRUSHES_课件1

(2)Why do you think the writer says that Paganini looks “confident of his artistic ability”? Can you find something in the drawing to show this? And again, name a person in your class who you believe is confident.
Drawing seems intimate because it is often—although not always—the artist’s own note-taking. Many drawings are not shown publicly during the artist’s lifetime. They may be sketches for some other work. We think of such drawings as direct expressions from mind to hand. In looking at a sketch by Michelangelo, for example, we can see what he was really thinking as he drew those lines. Through the drawings Michelangelo becomes more human to us, as we watch him playing with new shapes again and again. Other things may also make drawing intimate. Most drawings are small beside paintings, and many are done quickly. Drawings are often made in great numbers; some artists do hundreds of drawings for every “finished” work.
(3) Do you agree that Paganini in this picture seems to be “a little proud” ? Do you think that a confident person may often look “a little proud”? Why or why not? Give a few examples.
The pencil probably has made more drawings than any other tool. Pencils are cheap, and easy to come by and work with. Mistakes can be removed with an eraser. If the drawing turns out badly, it can be thrown away at no great expense. Some of the best drawings we know have been done with the pencil. One master of pencildrawing was Jean Ingres. In 1819, Ingres used the sharp point of a pencil to draw his friend, the great Italian violinist Nicolo Paganini.

Drawing
Everybody draws. There can hardly be ቤተ መጻሕፍቲ ባይዱ person above the age of two who has never made a drawing. Many people take photos, some paint, a few make sculptures, and a very few may even design a building, but everybody draws.
2.(1) “Paganini has a vivid personality.” What does this mean? Name a person in your class or a teacher who you think also has a “vivid personality” and tell why. Do you like a person who has a “vivid personality”?

We usually think that drawings are worked out on paper, but in history, many other surfaces have been used to draw on. The oldest artworks we know of are the cave drawings found in the south of France and in Spain. The artists who made the cave drawings worked directly on the stone walls of the caves. The Chinese in the past drew on silk, and many Chinese artists still do today.
Children begin to draw long before they begin to write, sometimes before they can talk clearly. In drawing far more than in speech, children show what they feel happy about or what they are afraid of.

Both pictures are works of Pablo Picasso. The picture on the left is The Young Ladies of Avignon (Y) and the one on the right is Head (H). Take a careful look at both, and check your choices below according to how you feel. But note that you may have to check both Y and H for some questions.
Drawing is both familiar and intimate. Drawing is familiar in that it uses things we are all used to: pencils, pens, sticks of chalk, etc. These are things we find in everyday life. You can pick up a pencil and draw somebody’s image on paper, and so can a great artist. Your drawing almost certainly will not look as good as the work of a great artist, but it is the same kind of expression.
