Chapter 199 History of Western Art

On a new day, Li Mo took the textbook 'Origin and Development of Western Art'. This morning was an elective course, and in the afternoon it was also an elective course and a class meeting.He walked into a lecture theater with at least 400 seats, but
As far as the eye can see, the seats are almost full, and most of them are looking down at the books, and even if some people are whispering, they are communicating in low voices.He checked the time, and he deliberately came here 10 minutes earlier, but the top students came earlier.

Li Mo looked around, but there were no empty seats behind, so he had to look forward, and finally saw an empty seat when he reached the seventh row in front.The vacant seat was among several female classmates, and Li Mo wondered if it was a place for someone else, otherwise why would there be one in the middle.

I had no choice but to continue walking forward. Fortunately, there was still a vacant seat in the third row from the front, but the female classmate sitting next to the vacant seat was very familiar, and she was the monitor in high school, Chu Li.

"Is anyone sitting here?"

Chu Li was reading a book, and when she heard the sound, she raised her head and her eyes had a strange look. She smiled and said, "What a coincidence, you also take this course, sit down."

Sitting next to her generously, Li Mo immediately attracted a lot of attention. Even a few male students in the front row turned their heads to look at Li Mo many times, as if they were looking at a giant panda.

"Student Chu, did I sit in the wrong place? Many male students have quite a problem with me."

"How about it, am I quite popular in Beijing University?"

Li Mo got up and looked elsewhere.

"Sit down, the teachers are here."

Chu Li pulled him down, Li Mo looked towards the gate, and sure enough a man with black framed eyes and casual clothes walked into the lecture theater with a book between his hands.

"It's Professor Qu from the School of Art."

Unexpectedly, the teacher of the first elective course still knows each other.

"Do you know Professor Qu?"

Chu Li asked in a low voice.

"I met once, but I'm not very familiar."

Professor Chu turned on various projections, then looked up at the entire lecture theater and said to Mike, "I'll call one at random, Li Mo."

Professor Qu, you did it on purpose, you actually clicked on one of nearly [-] classmates, and you directly clicked on me.

"arrive."

Li Mo bit the bullet and replied.

Professor Qu looked at Li Mo and said with a smile, "It's good that you're here, the class will start next."

Professor Qu, what is the meaning of your words?It's fine if you come, if you don't come, you always want the whole school to report me to skip class.

"Hee hee, Li Mo, are you offending Professor Qu?"

"No." After Li Mo finished speaking, he was a little skeptical. What happened at the law firm yesterday was not an offense. They should thank me.

"Before the class, let me ask a question, and I will choose a few students to answer. Why did you choose this course on the origin and development of Western art? Is it for credits? Is it for cultivating sentiment? Or is it because of the interest in oil painting creation? Very interested? Whoever answers first will get extra points."

"Professor Qu, I'll answer first." Chu Li was the first to raise her hand, and Professor Qu motioned for her to answer.

“Once I saw an oil painting painted by an elder. Many relatives and friends around me exclaimed that it was art. I just want to know what kind of artistry is in Western art.”

Chu Li has this kind of thinking, which is also shared by many people. On the Internet and on TV, it is often reported that an oil painting by a certain master in the West has sold for tens of millions of euros, or even higher, but countless people say they can’t see it. Understand.

"What's your name?"

"Chu Li."

"Please sit down, student Chu Li answered very well. She came here to explore the secrets. To reward her courage to stand up and answer first, as long as you don't miss classes this semester, I will take care of you."

There was a commotion in the lecture theater, and then many students raised their hands.When Li Mo was hesitating whether to raise his hand, he heard Professor Qu say: "Student Li Mo, the students around you have raised their hands, why don't you raise your hand? Well, if you can say something that satisfies me answer, I will cover this course for you too."

Those who raise their hands are not called, and those who do not raise their hands are called instead. The key is that they are called twice within a few minutes of the start of the class.

Li Mo had no choice but to stand up and said: "Actually, I want to learn something about some works of Western artists, such as their famous works, the characteristics of their works, the artistic value, historical value and market value analysis of their works. I pondered In the future, if I have the opportunity, I can also go abroad to buy some works of masters and come back, and then let those foreigners come to our museum to admire their national treasures."

Professor Qu was silent for more than ten seconds, nodded and motioned him to sit down and said, "I have great ambitions. If you want to consult in the future, you can contact me."

Professor Qu ordered four more students, each of whom answered differently, and gave them extra points.

"There are about seven stages in the development of Western art, which are pre-classical art, including primitive art, ancient Egyptian art, and ancient Mesopotamian art. Then there is classical art, including ancient Greek art and ancient Roman art. The next step is Medieval art, including early Christian art, Byzantine art, Romanesque art and Gothic art."

"After that, we entered an art stage that everyone is familiar with, that is, European Renaissance art, the most representative of which is Italian Renaissance art. At that time, Renaissance art in the Netherlands, Germany, and Spain all broke out. vitality."

"The fifth stage is typical Baroque and Rococo art, such as Italian art in the seventeenth century and neoclassical art in the eighteenth century."

"The last two stages are nineteenth-century Western art and Western modernist art, a total of seven stages."

"In today's class, I'll have a rough chat with you first, so that the students have a concept in their minds, and then I will break it down and explain it in detail later in the class."

Professor Qu's courses are still full of humor. Every few minutes he speaks, he will throw out a question for the students to answer.His questions are relatively open, as long as you can answer novel and reasonable, you will be given extra points.

The elective course was held in two consecutive periods, and when the bell rang for the end of get out of class, Li Mo was still fascinated by it.

"Li Mo, let's have lunch together."

"No, it's too dangerous to eat with you. I'm afraid that other male students will stop me and beat me up. I'd better hide in the corner and eat by myself."

Li Mo answered seriously, but Chu Li burst out laughing and rolled his eyes at her from time to time.

"Li Mo, you used to be quite honest, but now you can run the train with your mouth full."

"You are all academic masters. In the past, you only had studies in your eyes. How can you accommodate a scumbag like me." Li Mo packed up his textbooks and said with a smile, "The main reason is that I made an appointment to have dinner with my classmates. The school sports meeting It's about to start, I just have something to talk about, next time we have a chance to meet, I'll treat you to the most delicious dish in the dining hall of Beijing University."

"What is the most delicious dish, why don't I know?" Chu Li asked curiously.

"You girls' favorite weight-loss artifact, vegetable and tofu soup, you can drink whatever you want."

After Li Mo finished speaking, he quickly slipped away.

"I'm furious."

Chu Li pouted and complained in a low voice, the male students next to her saw such a resentful expression on her face, their hearts fell to the ground and broke.
