Throughout the history of the arts, the n ature of creativity has rema ined con sta nt to artists. No matter what objects they select, artists are to bring forth new forces and forms that cause change —to find poetry where no one has ever see n or experie need it before.

Landscape（风景）is another unchanging element of art. It can be found from ancient times through the 17th-century Dutch painters to the 19th-century romanticists and impressionists.
