托福满分作文素材-艺术类

莫奈（Claude Monet）
Monet's famous work
for a large amount of blue was used as the major color for sunlight. However, this work
eventually earned its reputation and had led to the name for impressionism.(难懂的作品也会得
到承认） Monet did not find acclaim and wealth to later in his life and at times suffered through
extreme poverty. Success also allowed him some degree of freedom in his work.(艺术家很贫穷）

达芬奇（Leonardo da Vinci）
Leonardo da Vinci trained as a painter during the Renaissance and became a true master of the
craft. His amazing powers of observation and skill as an illustrator enabled him to notice and
recreate the effects he saw in nature, and added a special liveliness to his portraits.
He had a keen eye and quick mind that led him to make important scientific discoveries, yet he
never published his ideas.
He was a gentle vegetarian who loved animals and despised war, yet he worked as a military
engineer to invent advanced and deadly weapons.
He was one of the greatest painters of the Italian Renaissance, yet he left only a handful of
completed paintings.
All in all, Leonardo believed that the artist must know not just the rules of perspective, but all the
laws of nature. The eye, he believed, was the perfect instrument for learning these laws, and the
artist the perfect person to illustrate them. (艺术家创造的源泉）
Even a master like Leonardo was forced to sell out in order to support himself.

贝多芬（Ludwig van Beethoven）
Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) was one of the greatest, if not the greatest, composer to ever
live. Most people are familiar with a few of his works, if nothing more than the beginning of the
Fifth Symphony, the Finale of the Ninth Symphony and the ” Sonata. (简介）
Beethoven, the German Composer, began to lose his hearing in 1801 and was entirely deaf by
1819. However, this obstacle could not keep him from becoming one of the most famous and
prolific composers in art history. His music, including 9 symphonies, 5 piano concertos, several
senates and so on, forms a transition from classical to romantic composition(耳朵失聪坚持创作).
The fourth movement of his Ninth Symphony is a setting of Schiller's poem Ode to Joy, an
optimistic hymn championing the brotherhood of humanity.

Beethoven, one of the greatest composers and musicians, created many symphonies.
Astonishingly, he produced his most famous symphony, Chorus, with complete deafness. How
could he manage it? It must be the prominent imagination that stimulated him to struggle and
thrive, thus he can even listen in spite of no hearings. (兴趣的作用）
When his finale of Ninth Symphonies, Chorus, was played, the audience were deeply moved and
clapped for his greatness for five times until the police stopped them. (被承认）
When Beethoven had no idea about the finale of his symphonies, he was suddenly struck by the
to Joyby Schiller. Inspired from the hymn championing the brotherhood of humanity,

Beethoven' heart was fraught of passion and courage, regardless of his entire deafness.
Eventually, when Beethoven completed his great works, Chorus, and had it played in the concert,
all the audience were completely attracted and moved by the striking and passionate symphony,
and acclaimed even five times in reverence of Beethoven.

Function:

Perhaps the oldest definition of the function of the arts is that they provide pleasure. They offer
sheer entertainment. We like stories, as in short fiction and TV specials and popular movies. We
enjoy being reminded of the familiar, as in musical patterns we have heard since childhood, and
we are pleased by arrangements of color, form, sound, and process that remove us from our
everyday cares.

Another is that they present us with insight into what is eternal and universal. Traditionally, this
has been called the theory of imitation. Behind every profound work of art, this point of view
proposes, is a set of principles about humanity that always prevails. A Renaissance painting of a
Madonna and child, for many viewers, is somehow a revelation of transcendent spirituality; a
Beethoven symphony is the last word on human endurance.

To these may be added a third function. The arts are didactic - they teach us. Shakespeare's
Macbeth，for instance，teaches us that inordinate ambition is pernicious. Ingemar Bergman's
films urge us not to miss the unspoken and the delicately nuanced. All the narrative arts, in fact,
instruct us to some extent. When we watch a play that is deeply moral, we see ourselves in the
characters, we recognize our own destinies in the plot, and we find the moral dilemma of the
action to be representative of problems in all human relationships.

This function of the arts can be denoted as - the artist's use of a medium to
express unique passion and insight. Poets such as Emily Dickinson and Theodore Roethke,
painters such as the American sea painter Winslow Homer, the black folk artist Horace Pipkin,
and musicians like blues artist Clarence Leadbelly used the arts to express their deepest private
feelings and their vision of the universe. What they created were not works that expressed an
official or institutional point of view. They elevated the personal to a level of all-consuming
importance.

A second kind of expressionism also developed in the 19th century. This one was much more
offensive. In societies undergoing tremendous change, artists began to use art to agitate for
social change.

Photographer Sherry Levine has used grotesque images of women to protest the oppression of
the female gender by American advertising, law, and social custom. This form of expressionism
we can call cultural criticism. That is, artists take a stand against certain practices in the society
that they consider to be unjust.

One can well understand that these most recent functions of art - the expression of private
