What is art?This question has confused great thinkers for centuries. In fact, there is disagreement about exactly what art is. Most of us would agree that Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa is art, but what about a video game? One dictionary states that art is making objects?Images or music, etc. that are beautiful or that express certain feelings.This, however, could be regarded as too general a definition(定義). Marcel Ducharap With his bicycle wheel.
Art is usually divided into two areas: fine art, such as painting, music and sculpture (雕塑)and applied art (實用美術(shù)),such as fashion design, furniture making and gardening. According to Aristotle, fee art is something which has a conceptual function.(概念功能). He noted that artists produced objects, drama and music which showed their emotions and ideas rather than just trying to offer a true image of nature. Andy Warhol, the American artist famous for his Pop Art in the 1960s, once said, “An artist produces things that people don't need to have.This is the biggest difference between fine and applied art. Applied art requires an object to be functional as well as beautiful.
In the twentieth century, however, artists began to challenge the accepted idea of art. The French artist Marcel Duchamp changed peopled understanding of what sculpture was by mounting a bicycle wheel upside down on a stool in 1913 and calling it art. In 2002, Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama created an art work that required the public's involvement. In this work, visitors were asked to cover a white room that had white furniture and objects in it, with many colorful sticker dots (圓形貼紙).He once said, “Everything an artist produces is art”.
Today, we can see examples of art all around us which are not expensive, many towns and cities have public art which can be enjoyed by all. Some museums, like the National Art Museum of China in Beijing, have no entrance fee. Others are free for children and students.
Street art is also popular in different neighborhoods around the world.
Art can make our ordinary, everyday lives a little more special. This idea may not work for all art, but perhaps we can agree that it is a goal towards which all artists should work.

I take after my mother. From her I took over a curious nature, a sense of adventure and bright red hair. However, I did not receive a talent(才能) for _______ from her.
My mother never doubted that I would be a child Mozart. She found a strict Russian woman to be my piano teacher when I was four. I did whatever the teacher told me in order to _______ her. “Feel the music,” she always told me, I “felt” it. But what is more unpleasant than too many wrong notes played continuously? She “felt” my music, too, which is why she always left with a(an) _______ expression.
Once, in order to _______ my practice, I managed to record one of my own rehearsals(練習(xí)). I put on the tape recording and read until the tape had finished. That method worked for a week, until my mother began to _______ why I always missed the same note. She came in and found that I had fallen asleep while the tape of my performance played on and on.
Realizing I couldn’t be a Mozart, my mother told me to pick another instrument. From then on, I worked my way through several other instruments, but I still couldn’t play any of them _______.
Then my mother hit on another idea. She took me to a drama(戲劇) teacher. However, the teacher put me into painting scenery(舞臺布景) instead of teaching to sing. Immediately I fell in love with this active and practical world, and I discovered that I had a skill for building and painting. I loved the _______ of taking our limited supplies and using them to make something beautiful!
I’m a sculptor(雕刻家) now, and every day I _______ once again the pleasure of being fully involved in the act of artistic creation. It’s a wonderful feeling. I realize that my mother was trying to give me this feeling. Perhaps she went about it in the wrong way, but her heart was in the right place.
