A calligraphy exhibition

I went to a calligraphy exhibition at JiangSu Provincial Art Museum with my classmates on March 7th. Actually, all the artworks in the museum are produced by a student from NanJing Foreign Language School. She is very good at calligraphy and has huge amount of artworks. I choose this exhibition not only because the artist is my schoolmate, but also calligraphy is one of the very important cultures in China.
I don not know calligraphy well. But at least I know it has many categories. The ways to write them are all different too. The most interesting piece of artwork is some words I never see before. All the words are in a very strange shape and after I know that is a very old type of words in China.

I really like the exhibition because calligraphy is a part of Chinese culture. And also it is a very elegant art and a lot of people are crazy about it. To tell the truth, I am not very interested in calligraphy before. But after I saw it, I was shocked. I can not imagine how the artist make such amazing artworks. I was also impressed by the wonderful Chinese culture. When I saw the artworks, I just could not say any words. On the other hand, the artist of this calligraphy exhibition is only a student from our school. I really admire her and I will study from her. As a member of China, I have the duty to spread Chinese culture to the whole world. That girl did it, why can’t I ? I believe that Chinese culture will become stronger and stronger.

Wu Weishan Cultural Figures Sculpture Exhibition

Ms.Hadley and Ms.Bartell led our class to Nanjing University to see a sculpture exhibition by Wu Weishan in 2008.12.4.An expert on sculpture.

In this sculpture exhibition,some of the artworks are traditional and some are contemporary.Because there are too many different artworks and they all represent different people or events.Some are traditional people and some are contemporary people.

My favourite artwork is"Confucius".The artist is Wu Weishan and he made it in 1995.The artwork's colour is a little bit green and it seems very smooth.Wu Weishan used a lot of rough lines in this artwork and Confucius' face looks very specific.Because he shows a lot of details for example the wrinkles.Very real and clearly.The subject of the artwork is Confucius and I see a lot of beard hairs are on his face and really long.

This artwork makes me feel magical because I can't imagine how Wu Weishan made this artwork and mention all of the details.So I realized the magic thar art has.When I first saw this artwork,I just thought about the traditional culture of China.Seems that this artwork can really remid me of Chinese culture.As we all know,Confucius was an ideologist.a politician and an educator.He effected the whole China even other parts of the world.For example a lot of Japanese words were came from China and a lot of countries have China town......Many countries started to learn from China since Confucius had some of his own ideas.He affected the culture and attitude of Chinese people.I think the artist's intention is remind us to never forget the traditional culture of China and remember we are Chinese!

I want to say that,I really like this artwork.Because Confucius can represent China and Chinese culture so I really admire him.When I saw the artwork I was shocked.Seemed that I can read someting from Confucius' eyes.He seems to tell me to study hard and never give up.He looked so kind and polite.Just like my grandfather.This artwork really interested me.The artist made Confucius' face so real and he worked on details so it seemed natural.I think other people might appreciate the artwork.Because we're all Chinese and Confucius is just a symbol of China.Everyone respects him!

In conclusion,this exhibition gave me a very deep impression.I really enjoyed it.They are all fatastic sculptures and I hope I can have many chances like this to enjoy arts in the future!
