What is the lecture mainly about? [br] Why does the professor mention icing on a cake?
Listen to part of a lecture in a studio art class.
Professor:
Today we’re going to continue with oil painting, but in different styles you haven’t experienced. From now on, we’re going to learn about several different techniques, beginning with impasto. Basically, impasto is a thick application of pigment that makes no attempt to look smooth. Instead, brush and palette knife marks are visible on the finished painting.
Now, in general, when you work with oil, what you do is just apply one color over another and let the paint squish onto the canvas. And the painting surface remains quite flat. But, with impasto, mostly it involves loading up your brush or painter’s knife with more paint than you’d normally need. Then the three-dimensional paint appears to be coming out from the canvas. It’s sort of like… icing that covers a cake. Actually, when I saw a series of paintings done this way, I thought they were very convincing. They looked good enough to eat.
Anyway, one purpose of impastoed paint is to make a light reflection. Since the 15th century, impasto has initially been used. Artists controlled the play of light, creating a lot of visual space. The shadows underneath the paint showed folds in clothes and jewels their subjects wore. Impasto really made these features stand out.
But later, another effect of impasto was its ability to convey movement in the painting. And when you work with the technique, you should keep this in mind that the thicker the paint is, the more it gives physical movement. Let me hold Van Gogh up as an example.
Van Gogh, one of the post-impressionists during the 19th century, first used impasto for its expressive qualities. Look up at the screen here, and notice how the cypress trees and valleys are depicted by the thick texture. In this way, Van Gogh gave weight to the movement to his sky and landscape. You can almost feel the breeze on that day. Today’s painters use impasto for a different reason. Most current artists place more emphasis on the paintings’ surface, the texture on their art work than the display of colors and lines. Impasto allows them to blend the texture and feeling of an object without illustrating an actual perception of what they represent.
So, how can you create this texture? Well, it depends on the way you apply the paint on canvas. As I said earlier, instead of "dying" or "scrubbing" the canvas with small amounts of color, just let the paint squish onto the canvas and let it set there. I mean, you apply a massive amount of paint with any tools you find that gives the texture you want. Tools like a brush, a flexible palette knife, or even a toothbrush. After that, you mold or sculpt the paint with short brushstrokes, faster. You should be spontaneous, and dynamic just like Van Gogh.
选项
A、To stress how easy it is to use the impasto technique
B、To claim that impasto involves the application of thin layers of paint
C、To make it clear that impasto should have a flat surface
D、To describe the type of appearance that impasto gives to a painting
答案
D
解析
题目询问教授提到蛋糕上的糖衣的原因。在介绍厚涂时,教授说厚涂用的颜料要比正常需要的更多,这样画布上就会出现three dimensional paint“立体的颜料”可见,这是厚涂赋予画作的一个外在表现,而教授提到蛋糕上的糖衣是想将这个表现形象地呈现出来,故选D项。在谈到icing on a cake时,教授没有提及厚涂的技巧是否容易掌握,故排除A项。B项“称厚涂需要涂上薄层颜料”中的thin layers有误,应该是thick layers“厚层”。厚涂的特点并不是有平滑的表面,也可排除C项“让人明白厚涂应该有一个平整的表面”。
