任务二 阅读理解A（10分）
It’s a good way for you to learn about China through Chinese art. Are you wondering what kinds of Chinese art are suitable for you? Don’t worry! We’ve prepared some for you.
Sugar painting—That’s very fun and tasty!
Compared with other art forms which require lots of training and practice, sugar painting seems easier to learn. It appeared in the Ming Dynasty but became popular in the Qing Dynasty. Nowadays, it’s widely accepted not only around its birthplace, Sichuan, but also across the whole country.
Water calligraphy (书法)—It’s so free!
Many calligraphy beginners don’t know how to choose brushes, paper and so on, and the cost is also high. Luckily, now there’s a new way—water calligraphy. You don’t need to prepare many things or stay in a room. All you need is a big brush and some water. Go to a square or a park and find a small space to start writing.
Paper cutting—!
By using knives or scissors to cut red paper, Chinese people have created lots of amazing works. Nowadays, paper cutting has developed into an art form that can stand for traditional Chinese folk culture. It can serve as a window to the world of traditional Chinese folk art.
Shadow puppetry (皮影戏)—It’s pretty exciting!
Shadow puppetry has a history of over 2,000 years. The puppeteer controls puppets behind a screen to make them move and tell stories. Actually, you can make puppets and make up stories you like. It can not only provide you with a way to express your own fantastic ideas but also improve your hands-on ability.
