Five Notes on Shiller's Art History

Nature and art, forever and ever, are the most magical, beautiful, wonderful and irreplaceable things in the world.

Comment on hillel's Lecture on Art History 1

I read a good book during the holiday? Hillier talks about art history.

The author of this book is hillier, and hillier is an outstanding American educator who graduated from Harvard University. Engaged in primary and secondary education after graduation. I love history and art and travel. He felt the boredom of traditional textbooks and decided to write an interesting set of books on history, geography and art for his children.

This book tells the history of world art and is divided into three parts: painting, sculpture and architecture. The author does not simply introduce the famous artists and their works handed down from generation to generation, but tells the birth process of the works through short stories in life. Great works of art and great artists rely on concentration, enthusiasm, talent and opportunity, and behind them is an era of worshipping art and appreciating beauty.

I don't know why, I especially like the painting part, maybe it's because I'm not bad at school. I have never seen the paintings on display here. I learned how people in ancient Egypt and other periods painted, some were oil paintings, some were board paintings, and the ancient Egyptians even painted directly on the walls or roofs. What great art! I used to think my paintings were beautiful, but after reading this book and the works of these famous painters, my paintings are simply insignificant. In order to have a deeper understanding of painting, I went to the art museum myself and suddenly felt how profound and wonderful painting was.

This is my first contact with such books. I used to think this kind of book was boring, but I like it this time, because it really made me learn knowledge and really made me grow up!

Hillier talks about art history. I heard a teacher talk about his reading experience at a reading exchange meeting. At that time, I was very interested in this book after listening to the teacher's introduction, and I bought one when I came back. This book was written by hillier, the headmaster of an American elementary school. He found that the content of traditional history textbooks was particularly boring, and it was difficult for children to be interested in reading and understanding. To learn art history well, you must first be interested in history. So, hillel wrote a children's history book.

This book describes the history of world art, covering three points: painting, sculpture and architecture. Its content is rich and colorful, and its knowledge is endless. It is not as boring as other history books, but it is very interesting. This is because the author hillier often mixes some hilarious jokes and his own funny stories in his articles. There is no great man here, not even a great man, because he is an ordinary man with special talents. He likes this narrative method, supplemented by necessary maps, which makes people clear at a glance.

In my opinion, Mr hillier never tells a work of art in isolation. He can always find the breath of life in his works and tell it vividly, so that we can understand the development of art with immersive interest. For example, "this work is like this. There is a flower basket in front of the girl Collins' grave, which contains what she loved before her death. One day, a buttercup flower grew on the edge of the flower basket. The longer the stem and leaf of the flower became, the more tangled it became, and it became a beautiful flower basket. Later, an architect saw it and made a kind of column on a whim, and the Corinthian column appeared. " This fantastic writing style can't help but make people fall into a wonderful artistic fantasy.

The following is an excerpt from hillier's quotation: "The best teacher is a teacher who can arouse students' enthusiasm, arouse their curiosity, guide them to pursue better things tirelessly, and inject their insights and real culture into the depths of students' souls." This sentence beautifully expounds the pursuit that an excellent teacher should have.

This book let me know more about many famous paintings, sculptures and churches, and also let me know many Renaissance artists from other countries in another relaxed way. This book, hillier, tells the history of art and gives me a systematic understanding of the artistic scenery of various countries in the world.

Every child is born an artist. He described the most approachable side of art in the most accessible language.

This book is divided into three parts: painting, architecture and sculpture. When I first entered this book, I used to look through the catalogue. I don't know if it's because I love painting, or because the names of each chapter in it are very attractive. I fell in love with the first painting at the first sight, so I began to pick up the book and read it with relish.

What is the earliest picture in the world? Ancient art? Murals. At that time, the hairy primitive people actually had the impulse to paint. Although there were no pens, ink, paper and inkstones, primitive people made full use of huge rock walls and animal bones to paint and even created their own pigments. It can be seen that their wisdom can not be underestimated, and it also reflects the charm of art. The works of primitive people remain on the stone walls or ceilings of caves. After tens of thousands of years of tempering and elutriation, people can get a glimpse of the artistic flowers blooming in that distant and simple history. With the changes of the times, more and more famous painters and paintings come out. Today, when people look back at those splendid arts and cultures again, can they also feel the emotion in this painting?

There is no doubt that the architectural article introduces a beautiful house. Houses also have ages, which will grow old with time. After years of wind, rain, sun, rain and freezing, mottled moss climbed up the fence like a small snake, and dusty cobwebs were hidden in the corner between the house beams and trees, but the owner who had lived in it for a long time had deeper and deeper feelings for the old house. The oldest house in the world? The pyramid is actually for the dead, but it has a solid shell and indomitable spirit. Maybe it will make the deceased feel the warmth of home again.

Sculpture may have pushed the art to a climax at that time. One of the sculptors who impressed me deeply was Michelangelo, whose representative work was David. After this work came out, the reaction was fierce. David is therefore called "the most perfect man in Italy". Every sculptor has a magical carving knife, which can carve unique works. At the same time, I also hope that the sculptor can carve a perfect life with this knife in his hand.

Art is endless, whether in the past, present or future. Our pursuit of art will never stop. The crystallization of wisdom and beauty in the history of art is the fruit watered by sweat, which brings people visual shock and spiritual enjoyment.

May art hang high in the sky like the sun and illuminate people's lives and a brand-new tomorrow with brilliant brilliance.

Reflections on shearer's lecture on art history 4

Therefore, paying attention to nature and art means paying attention to what the German poet Holdrin called "poetic dwelling". In particular, art, that is, a poetic world constructed by artistic forms and separated from the real world, is simply the most fundamental and certainly the most solid guarantee for "poetic dwelling".

The beauty of art has always been truly presented on our world map. However, in the vast art world, a truly competent tour guide is never enough. Therefore, when I casually opened the book hillier on Art History, my first feeling was that I met a good tour guide. There are countless tour guides who can introduce us to the natural scenery before and after running, but few cultural tour guides can patiently guide us on the art map. The less, the more precious nature is.

Hillier's full name is Virgil? Morris? Hillel and our national cultural treasure, Mr. Lu Xun, are people of the same era. As a famous educator and the founder of the education system in calvert, hillier is well aware of the disadvantages of traditional textbooks and what kind of curriculum system the family education curriculum system should be. Therefore, he is very creative and good at speaking art. Finally, he has produced this set of interesting historical, geographical and artistic reading materials, including the art history of hillier, for children all over the world.

Obviously, it is an obvious feature to talk or ask questions persuasively and guide children to wander in the palace of art. Only this feature can make it avoid dull, stiff and stiff problems. Painting, sculpture, architecture, hillier is just like giving lectures naturally and generously in class. He talked about these three parts. It may also be that literature and art, music art, dance art and so on are too many to talk about. Therefore, hillier also avoided talking about it.

What's wrong with this painting? Fool's paintings (which people mistakenly think are true), stories in stones, treasure hunters and a secret, the second best and best knight statues, women's buildings, Rome was not built in a day, and the troublesome dome? Listen, hillier has officially started his speech. As long as we are prepared for the eyes, ears, brains and hearts, it will be natural. Yes, you'd better prepare another pair of hands. The purpose of preparing a pair of hands is obviously to constantly pick it up from our hearts. Picking up treasures from our hearts is a serious matter for a serious person.

Hillier talked about "the oldest painting in the world" from his childhood painting experience: "When I was a child, I always liked to hold a pencil in class. There are two small circles on my wooden desk, and the distance between them is only a few tens of centimeters. I poked it gently in one of the small circles with the tip of a pencil, and then poked it gently in another small circle. The two small circles magically became a pair of small eyes. I drew a circle on these eyes, and then connected them with arcs, which looked like a pair of glasses. The next day, I added my nose and mouth under my eyes.

On the third day, I drew ears and hair again. On the fourth day, I put a playful hat on the head of the painting. On the fifth day, I added a body, arms, legs and feet under my head. Thus, a complete villain is drawn. "When talking about" confusing the real with the fake ",hillier still used the same appearance:" I had a kitten when I was a child, and I loved to tease it often when I was free. Sometimes, I will pick it up and let it look in the mirror.

Every time it sees the cat in the mirror, it thinks it's another cat, so it fights with itself. It arched its back and made a loud noise in front of the mirror? Meow? That's an interesting cry. However, if you show the kitten a photo, it doesn't respond at all, as if it didn't see it at all. So is the puppy. Does it look at the puppy in the mirror? Wang Wang? Barking loudly, but always turning a blind eye to the puppy in the picture. It turns out that although they can read pictures, they don't appreciate them.

So do some people. They can look at pictures, but they don't necessarily appreciate them. So whether you can see or appreciate something at the meeting is really not the same thing. There is a good saying in the bible: you have eyes, but you can't see? That's what I'm saying. "This way of speaking is really different and interesting. In the narrative, hillier's own thoughts are quietly integrated into it. Whether it can be said depends mainly on teaching methods; Speaking well depends mainly on whether you have your own thoughts. That's true.

Floating in the voice of hillier, we are in Cairo, Athens, Rome, Florence, Paris and London? The treasures of the Louvre, the British Museum and the Metropolitan Museum, as well as historical pictures, are displayed one by one in hillel's relaxed and natural narrative, which is endowed with a different flavor. Listen to hillier slowly, and we will know how Raphael's artistic attainments surpass his teacher perugino. We will know how Michelangelo's nose was interrupted by a young sculptor who once publicly criticized him. We will know? Why are there not many paintings by Finch among great artists? We can know how the tailor's son Andre became a master of light and shadow.

"It's easy to describe a painting. Even if you don't describe it, it's not difficult to describe a painting by looking at things. Thousands of people can draw a basket of fruit, a bottle of flowers or a beautiful scenery, but these paintings are just simple copying. There are many people who can copy the works of great painters, and some even copy them very badly, making it impossible to tell the truth from the false. But few people can create a brand-new painting with their own brushes, which can organize all kinds of odds and ends into a beautiful picture. Only those who can do this can be called great painters. " Obviously, during the tour guide, hillier made no secret of his views. Although these views are not new, his tour guide attitude is sincere. The most basic quality of being a cultural tour guide is sincerity, which hillier undoubtedly knows. Hillier knows better that everyone is an artist as long as he enters the creative level.

It's really easy to become an artist, but it's really not easy. Look at Michelangelo, one of the representatives of the Italian Renaissance, and you will naturally know? One day, the Pope asked Michelangelo to paint a large oil painting for the dome of the Sistine Chapel, but Michelangelo refused. At this time, people who were jealous of him began to shake their mouths and spread rumors everywhere, saying that he could only sculpt but not draw. Michelangelo naturally heard it with his own ears, so he decided to use his real painting level to break the rumor that he was flying in the air like a crow.

However, when he really took action, he realized how difficult it was to paint on the huge dome: lying on a high scaffold, not to mention the danger, just seeing a small piece, it was impossible to establish an overall view of the picture, which made him extremely difficult. Moreover, when he paints on the top of his head, the paint on the brush will always drip on his face from time to time, and sometimes his eyes can't be opened.

Besides, do you have to keep coming down and going up, and then coming down and going up? Originally, he hired some assistant partners, because the painting level of those partners was far from satisfying him. After careful consideration, he finally dismissed all his partners and took on this arduous and tedious creation alone. After four years, the colored dome of the Sistine Chapel finally appeared in front of everyone. In everyone's eyes, it is simply a big myth. The birth of myth is naturally attributed to Michelangelo's exquisite skills and indomitable character. There is no doubt that what kind of personality you have will have what kind of life situation.

Whatever you do, you must have something concrete. Talking about the history of world art is undoubtedly the same. Otherwise, there will be no novelty. Therefore, when talking about French realistic landscape painting and portrait painter Connor, hillier directly asked Connor to speak for himself: "If a certain landscape once excited me, then when I concentrate on expressing it, I must not let go of what it once excited me." Think about it, how many things we missed that excited us and made our hearts tremble!

This is activation. Listening to a lecture, if one of our nerves is fully activated, and then we suddenly feel stiff head, rubbing hands, patting our arms and working hard, there is no doubt that we are glad that you came.

Hillel's art history is divided into three parts: painting, sculpture and architecture.

By telling the story behind every work of art, the author hillier conveyed a message to us: Art comes from the most ordinary life, every child is born an artist, and every real artist always keeps a childlike innocence.

My favorite reading is Da Vinci. Leonardo da Vinci was born in Renaissance Italy. He was born left-handed and can write from right to left. He is the greatest painter of all time. In the famous Louvre Art Museum in Paris, Leonardo da Vinci's famous painting Mona Lisa is preserved.

Mona Lisa depicts an Italian aristocratic woman. She has a faint smile on her face, which is so beautiful, as if the painter's brush would disappear at the beginning with a slight change. Leonardo da Vinci can paint people so vividly because he knows how to use shadows and light, and he also knows how to deal with the transition between light and shade. He is the first painter in history who knows how to use this painting technique.

Before leonardo da vinci painted, he had already entered life and experienced it carefully. He didn't start painting until he was inspired and the idea was successful. He loves life, is close to life, and his carefully conceived methods are always worth learning from.
