素养:思维品质 难度:难 用时:8分钟
新素材 Ancient art doesn't have to be boring. Technology in the 21st century can help to bring it to life by combining(融合) the best of the old and the new.
Life Along the Bian River at the Pure Brightness Festival
Walking into the China Pavilion at Expo 2010 in Shanghai, people were amazed by seeing a huge digital painting. Scientists digitised(使数字化) the famous painting Life Along the Bian River at the Pure Brightness Festival by Chinese artist Zhang Zeduan.
The original (原作的) painting shows life during the Northern Song Dynasty and it includes many details of ancient Chinese customs, lifestyles and technology.
▲ Farmers work in the fields, sailors move around their boats and people eat and do business in restaurants. Parts of the background are also animated(做成动画). You can see the wind blowing through the trees and across the water. These animations perfectly combine modern technology and ancient art.
Digital technology allows today's artists to express their ideas in ways that ancient artists would not believe possible. Techniques such as animation and 3-D digital projection(投影) make art come alive.
Dunhuang Cave Paintings
Dunhuang Caves, which are protected ancient treasures in the Gobi Desert in Northwest China, are filled with paintings and sculptures with lasting value. This artwork was created over a period of
around 1,000 years.
The good news is for art lovers who cannot travel and for the caves. Scientists have created a 360-degree, 3-D digital projection of the caves, which makes the artwork come alive. There is also a function(功能) that lets viewers enjoy the paintings and sculptures in greater detail.
Digitising ancient art allows us to explore the ancient practices. It also makes the whole world understand the art while protecting the original artworks for the future.

答案
我们选取经典名画《蒙娜丽莎》作为鉴赏对象，对应完成全部任务内容如下：
(1) What can you see?
I can see a gentle lady with a soft, faint smile sitting on a balcony. Misty mountains, quiet paths and a calm river make up the background. The lady wears simple elegant clothes without any fancy jewellery, and her eyes seem to follow you no matter which direction you move to.
(2) How does it make you feel?
Her soft smile makes me feel warm and peaceful. The soft, hazy colour tone of the whole painting makes me feel like I am standing right in front of her, communicating with this lady who lived hundreds of years ago, which feels really amazing.
(3) What do you think?
I think this painting is really magical. The lady's smile looks different when you watch her from different angles, it changes subtly if you look at her directly or glance at her from the side. The painter used superb skills to make the portrait so lively, it is absolutely a world-famous masterpiece.
(4) What do you know about the artwork and the artist?
This artwork is *Mona Lisa*, one of the most famous paintings across the world. It was finished by the great Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci during the Renaissance, and he spent nearly 16 years working on this painting. The lady in the portrait was the wife of a local businessman in Florence, and the painting is now kept in the Louvre Museum in Paris.
Step 2 班级展示补充内容：
Its historical background: This work was created in the European Renaissance, a special period when people began to value the beauty and dignity of ordinary people, instead of only focusing on religious themes. That's why the portrait of a common lady can be so vivid and touching. My personal thought is that this great artwork proves art can cross hundreds of years, and it still brings us special warm feelings even today.
Step 3 集体实践：等所有同学都完成自己的作品分享后，把所有人准备的艺术作品图片统一张贴在教室墙面上，就可以搭建出属于全班的小型班级艺术展。
