ART & DESIGN
Critique worksheet
We and students in 10- Fwith Ms.Hadley’s class went to a professional exhibition outside of NFLS/GCA nearly a monthly. The name of the exhibition that we visited is “Wu Weishan Cultural Figures Sculpture Galley”. The sculpture is being shown in this exhibition. The artwork is made by one artist whose name is Wu weishan.I think that these artwork are both traditional and contemporary, because the artist mixed the western skill of sculpture making and eastern skill of sculpture making perfectly.
A lot of Wu weishan‘s artwork are being shown in the museum. Some of them help Wu weishan get some important prizes such as sleeping boy and some other sculptures.
The artwork impressed me the most is not the sleeping boy which impressed a lot of my classmates. The art work impressed me a lot is “Yang Zhen Ning” which is made in 2001 by Wu Weishan when he realized many teenagers do not know who Yang Zhengning, the great scientist in china is.
This artwork is a sculpture of a Scientist and Nobel Prize laureate in our country.From the sculpture, we can know that Yang ZhenNing is an old man now, but he is still very intelligent.His eyes are very big. He wears a western suit, He looks very serious but he is smiling. He looks like an easygoing person, when I saw the sculpture, I felt very peaceful. The sculpture doesn’t have too much hair, so we can know he is not younger any more. The artist made the artwork very carefully because I can see every position of the sculpture even the wrinkle on his skin. The sculpture looks almost the same as Yang Zhenning.When we see the sculpture, the person who explained each sculpture to us told us ,when Yang Zhenning saw this sculpture felt excited,too.The sculpture is made of gesso, that is the reason why it is white, so the skin of YangZhenning ‘s face looks very silk. The sculpture shows a vivid picture of the great scientist Yang Zhenning in china.
When I saw the sculpture at the first time, I felt I was meeting a great person face to face. Of course, Yang Zhen Ning is a great persona great scientist. By seeing the sculpture, I think Yang is a friendly person because the sculpture of him looks liked wear a big smile. From his mouth, I guess that he may not like talking and being serious. The artist gave me a peaceful and friendly Scientist in my mind.
I think that the artwork called Yang Zhenning is a good sculpture. When I saw the artwork at first time, I realized the artwork is Yang Zhenning.It can prove that the artist make the artwork very carefully and paid many attention in details when he made the sculpture. The skill of making sculpture is also excellent. I can’t find any bad thing about the sculpture. The sculpture will remind us a great scientist forever. It is such a magnificent artwork.Wu weishan achieved his goal to make this sculpture let many people do not forget this great scientist.
