上周我跟女儿，她好朋友的妈妈及她的好朋友，四个人一起去了The Art Gallery，看了莫奈及其他印象派画家的画展。没想到看的人很多，排队买票就排了十多分钟，但是都以成人为主，小孩很少，这让我觉得有点遗憾，毕竟这是个很好的体验和学习的机会。 我们在入口处给她们租了讲解器，我女儿说是个男孩子讲的，主要以提问为主。女儿和她的好朋友都是喜欢画画的人，因此两个人一幅一幅的看过来，一边听着讲解，欣赏的非常认真。到后来我和那个妈妈都有点累了，她们两个竟然一直都兴致盎然。有时候远看，有时候凑近了看，研究画家的笔触。看真迹跟书上的图片不同，看真迹的时候，画家的笔法可以看得很清楚，凑近了可以看出画家是怎么用笔的，采取了些什么技巧。 看完画展出来，我们从Botanic Garden一路逛到Circular Quay，在悉尼大桥旁边的港里，泊着一艘超大的豪华游轮，很壮观。 下面这篇文章是女儿看完画展回来以后写的日记。 Monet and the Impressionists!! Today, on the fourth of January, Kaori, Noriko ,( My best friend and her mum, ) my mum and me went to the NSW Art Gallery especially to see Monet and the Impressionists exhibition. When we reached there, we saw on the other bank of the Royal Botanic Gardens, the majestic NSW Art Gallery. Our tour into Monet and his fellow Impressionist’s world of art begins here. World famous Monet created a new way of painting. From 1840 to 1845, painters usually painted indoors. Monet and his friends, Pierre Renoir and Alfred Sisley wanted to try a different way of painting. They started to paint in the open air or outdoors. Monet wanted to show that the same thing could look different when the light and weather changed. He and his friends decided to start their own exhibition since they were rejected from the other exhibitions, because people did not like their paintings in open air. People thought that the painting’s creator, (the painter,) had not painted them properly or finished them. Monet put one of his paintings, Impression: Sunrise in his own show. People who examined that piece of Monet’s work started calling Monet and his friends the “Impressionists”. Monet’s famous painting, Water lilies, the willow trees in gentle, long strokes, the bushes a bramble of lines, the bridge formerly white but with darker colour as shadow casting over it. The water ripped by lily pads floating on the surface, reflecting whatever is around it. The lily pad’s smooth surface glittered with water that drenches it. Blobs and strokes of faint pink and blood red crimson created the water lilies dotting the water. The rounded shape of the haystacks Monet painted 15 times reflected a shadow from the pounding sunrays. The hays golden colour, on the side the sun is shining on, shone under its fiery gaze. The shadows stretched from the foot of the haystacks across the grassy plains, slipped to hide from the blazing sun. Shredded wood pieces lay motionless on the ground until the gentle breeze blew, ruffling them to face the sun. Trees in the distance rustled as the wind blew, dots of lush green on their leaves. Mountains far away seemed to background the scene, their peaks dotting the clear, cloudless sky. We also appreciated the works of Renior, Sisley, Pisarro, Degas, Rousseau, Carot, Millet, Manet…but throughout all of them, I loved Monet’s paintings best, especially two of them cast a deep memory on me. They were the only ones I knew and probably, the most famous Water Lilies and Haystacks. I loved all the colours mixed in the pond and the light and shadowy side of the haystacks. I know Renoir and Sisley, I faintly remembered Rousseau, Troyon, Manet, Degas and Pissaro. I remembered Degas’s statue of dancer ready to perform…But I still loved Monet’s Water Lilies and Haystacks best! [ 本帖最后由 风玲 于 2009-1-8 23:17 编辑 ] |
