In November, which was a sunny day. Art class, Ms.Hadly and Ms.Bartell let us to go to Wu Weishan Sculpture Art Exhibition. It is interesting and perfect art work. We glad to came to see those greet works of sculpture.
Wu weishan is a famous person that have good job at sculpture. He comes from Nantong and he was hard-working when he was a student. He was join the first College Entrance Examination after Cultural Revolution. Regretly, he did not pass it. So, he went to a very small school at Wuxi to study. At there, Wu weishan know the sculpture for the first time. After that, he got successful with himself's effort and talent. Wu weishan wanted study physicals in the University, but his teacher said if he studiede physicals, China would lost a wizards at sculpture, because Wu weishan's physical was not good.
Sculpture is a kind of plastic arts and the term of the three methods--carved, engraved and plastic. Refers to a variety of plastic materials (such as plaster, resin, clay, etc.) or can be carved rigid material (such as wood, stone, metal, jade blocks, agate, etc.) to create a certain visual space can be inconsistent with the image of the arts to reflect the social life, to express the feelings of the artist's aesthetic, aesthetic emotion, aesthetic ideals of art. Sculpture, carved by reducing substances may be carving materials, plastic through the stack of materials by plastic material to achieve the purpose of artistic creation. Relief and Stencil Carving is its basic form. In the same environment with a group of co-expression of relief or content of a theme called Group carving.
The emergence and development of sculpture and human production activities are closely related, but also by all the times religion, philosophy and other social ideology directly affected. When humans was still in the Old Stone Age, it appears the original stone, such as stone. Sculpture is a relatively permanent art, ancient history, many things after scouring has all vanished, ancient sculpture heritage, in a sense, the image of the history of mankind. Traditional idea that the sculpture is static, visual, tactile three-dimensional objects, sculpture, through recourse to the visual image of the space to reflect the reality, which is considered the most typical of the plastic arts, static art and space art. With the development of science and technology and people's changing perceptions in the modern art emerged in the anti-traditional four-dimensional sculpture, five-dimensional sculpture, sound and light sculpture, dynamic sculpture and soft sculpture and so on.
This is due to the emergence of Einstein's theory of relativity, to break through the doctrine established by Newton's world view, to change people's Space and Time, so that sculpture from a higher level awareness and performance of the world, and a breakthrough three-dimensional, visual, and static the form of multi-dimensional aspects of the mentality of the time and space exploration.
At the Exhibition, the "Sleep Baby" give me the deep impression. The work is a cute baby was sleeping. His mouth open softly and his small feet were very prretty. Wu weishan was see the baby's feet and have the inspiration. The sculpture made me feel very comfortable. When I first saw the sculpture, I think the environment that baby sleep was very quiet. The article remind me when my brother borned, he is like the baby. I like this sculpture. The posture of the baby is peaceful. First, the baby was sleeping. The world could not be in a War or other unpeaceful things. Then, his mouth was open, so cute. I do not think other people maight appreciate the sculpture because everyone has different own ideas.
These are all my ideal. The activity was very good to open up our horizons.
When it is 18th December 2008, we went to the Bebbis restaurant for dinner. That is a Switzerland restaurant. It is on the Xinjiekou area beside the subway station.
