问题     Two-way Discussion
    We’ve been talking about images, and now I’d like to discuss with you one or two more general questions related to this. Let’s consider first the topic of visual arts.
    What kind of visual art forms are popular in your country?
    Many people argue that art should be freely accessible to the public to enjoy. What’s your view?
    What do you think of investing money in the arts?
    Now, let’s talk about creativity.
    It is often said that creative genius is born, not made. What’s your opinion?
    How have the ways people express their creativity in your culture changed in the last fifty years?
    Many artists make valuable contributions to society through their art, yet struggle to succeed financially. What are the reasons for this? What are the implications of this?

答案I’m not completely sure, but I know my generation really enjoys street art and sculpture, and installations with light and sound. Also, my fi’iends and I love animation and graffiti. As for older generations, I think they probably prefer the more classic type of visual art such as paintings and portraits or perhaps sculpture. That’s the great thing about art: there is always something for someone to enjoy and appreciate and it’s always changing. I definitely agree as I think it would be ideal if all or at least most art galleries had free admission. And there have recently been a lot of very popular exhibitions in my city which are displayed in public areas, such as parks or squares, or public buildings like railway stations. This really appeals to me that as people go about their daily lives, they meet and can enjoy or think about art, so it’s integrated in their life rather than being something separate that they go and do on weekends or something. Art should be available for everyone to see and take pleasure fiom. When corporations and companies sponsor exhibitions, it means that more people get to see and experience that exhibition, so I believe it makes art more accessible and available to more people. It’s the corporate world’s way of giving something back to the community and if they get a little bit of positive association for doing so, then I think that’s fine. It’s not as though they have any creative control. Well I think this is true, to an extent, but I also feel that it is only in very rare cases that pure talent is not nurtured through life experience and events. What I mean is that I believe you have to have natural artistic talent but that this can only be fully realized through excellent tuition and exposure to influential people and art pieces. It is not any one thing which creates creative genius, it is a combination of everything as well as a case of good timing. I think in the past, art took more traditional forms such as paintings, sketches and sculpture, but nowadays it’s like almost anything call be called art. I went to an exhibition the other day which included giant images projected on to buildings in the downtown area and it has been very well received. So with technology that is rapidly changing, art is also evolving to be expressed in new ways such as this. While in the past, we might have had movies shot on old fashioned cameras, now anyone can be a director and shoot video even with their mobile phones! So making art and expressing creativity has become an option for many more people. That is the main change. Part of the reason might be that artists are more concerned with expressing themselves in a genuine way than with making money. They are so focused on creating their works that perhaps the money is of secondary importance to them. Of course the effect of this is that it becomes difficult to earn a living and perhaps it could discourage future young people from that type of lifestyle. The other reason is that society doesn’t really value art properly, so artists are underpaid accordingly, which is sad.
