Treasure Hunting Divine Eyes

  Chapter 199 History of Western Art

  A new day, Li Mo is holding the textbook "Origin and Development of Western Art". This morning is an elective course, and the afternoon is also an elective course and a class meeting. He walked into a lecture theater with at least four hundred seats, but

  The seats are almost full as far as the eye can see, and most of them are looking down at the books, and even if someone is whispering, they are communicating in low voices. He checked the time, and he deliberately came here ten minutes earlier, but the top students came earlier.

  Li Mo looked around and found that there were no vacancies at the back, so he had to look forward. When he got to the seventh row in front, he finally saw an empty seat. The vacant seat was among several female classmates, and Li Mo wondered if it was a place for others, 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 in 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 there anyone sitting here?"

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

   Li Mo sat next to her generously, and 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-rimmed eyes and casual clothes walked into the auditorium 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 hall and said to Mike, "I will call one at random, Li Mo."

  Professor Qu, you did it on purpose, you actually clicked on one of nearly 400 classmates, and you directly clicked on me.

"arrive."

   Li Mo answered bravely.

  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, don't you offend 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 select 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 elder painted an oil painting, and many relatives and friends around me exclaimed that it was art, but I didn't see the thought that the oil painting wanted to express after looking at it for a long time, so I took this course 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 been sold for tens of millions of euros, or even higher, but countless people say they can’t see it. Understand.

"May I have your name?"

   "Chu Li."

   "Sit down, please. Chu Li answered very well. She came here to explore the secret. In order 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 lot of noise in the lecture hall, 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 raised their hands were not called, and those who did not raise their hands were called instead. The key point was that they were called twice within a few minutes of the class starting.

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.

"The development of Western art has about seven stages. They 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 is Medieval art, including early Christian art, Byzantine art, Romanesque art and Gothic art."

"After that, we entered into an art stage that everyone is more familiar with, which is the European Renaissance art, the most representative of which is the Italian Renaissance art. At that time, the 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 Western art in the nineteenth century and Western modernist art, a total of seven stages."

   "I'll have a rough chat with you in today's class, let the students have a concept in their minds, and then break it down and explain it slowly in the future lessons."

  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 is 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 just one mouthful."

"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 smiled. 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."

   Li Mo quickly slipped away after speaking.

"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.
