Hello, everyone! I'll show you around the Louvre today through our live broadcast. First of all, let's take a look at the sculpture at the top of the stone (stair). It is the Winged Victory of Samothrace. Take a closer look, and you will see how incredible it is! Though it is made of stone, you can see that her dress (fold) by the wind. Now, here is the room  the famous painting Mona Lisa is kept. One moment she seems to be laughing at you, but then again you will catch a sense of (sad) in her smile. It is a really secret smile!

Now, it's time (get) up close and personal with one of history's greatest artists—Rembrandt! This famous painter made more than 90 self­portraits throughout his life. No one really knows why. Perhaps it was simply (cheap) to paint himself than to pay for  model.

With about 35，000 works (keep) in its over 300 rooms, the Louvre is  grand that it would take you a lifetime to see everything in this museum. I do hope that you can pay a visit to this museum and enjoy these amazing artworks for (you).

When it comes to the most famous 20th century painters of the United States, Grandma Moses should be mentioned, although she did not start painting until she was in her late seventies. As she once said to herself: "I would never sit back in a rocking chair, waiting for someone to help me." No one could have had a more active old age.

She was born on a farm in New York State, one of five boys and five girls. At 12 she left home and was in domestic service until at 27 she married Thomas Moses, the hired hand of one of her employers. They farmed most of their lives, first in Virginia and then in New York State, at Eagle Bridge. She had ten children, of whom five survived; her husband died in 1927.

Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery (刺绣) pictures as a hobby, but only changed to oils in old age because her hands became too stiff (僵硬的) to sew and she still wanted to keep busy and pass the time.

Her pictures were first sold at the local drugstore and at a market and were soon noticed by a businessman who bought all that she painted. Three of the pictures were exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art, and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York. Between the 1930's and her death, she produced more than 1,000 pictures: careful and vivid descriptions of the country life she had known for so long, with a wonderful sense of colour and form. "I think really hard till I think of something really pretty, and then I paint it，" she said.

The Chinese art of paper cutting has a long history. The earliest paper cutting was found in China in the Northern Dynasties. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization has added the art, called Jianzhi, to its Intangible Cultural Heritage list. But Jianzhi is in danger of disappearing. Voyo Woo, a Chinese immigrant (移民) to the US, hopes to bring the art back to life.

Ms. Woo loves paper cutting. And she works hard to celebrate the ancient art form. On a recent Saturday, Ms. Woo held a paper cutting show at a shopping center near Washington. She demonstrated the art to the crowds for hours at the center.

Ms. Woo began to study the art of Jianzhi as a 14­year­old girl in her hometown in southeastern China. She said all the students at school had to learn the art. But she developed a special love for it, so her teacher gave her extra training after class. Later, she won the second prize in a national painting and handwriting competition. Ms. Woo came to the US after she finished college in 2008. Soon after, she became involved in an event to support and expand understanding of Chinese paper cutting. She has been invited to demonstrate the art at a wide collection of events. She has also shown her skill at famous museums like Sackler art galleries in Washington. Ms. Woo says paper cutting represents Chinese cultural values, history and stories of people's lives. She uses the art as a tool to present Chinese culture to people who know little about it.

Ms. Woo placed examples of her art around her as she demonstrated paper cutting at the shopping center. Some shoppers, like Ann Russ, took part in a workshop. Ms. Russ was struck by the finely detailed nature of the work. Ms. Woo says Chinese art is for all people. "It is amazing how Chinese art can echo (产生回响) with people from other cultural backgrounds," Ms. Russ says.

We've all been there before. You're driving down the road when suddenly a pothole (凹坑) seems to appear out of nowhere and sends the1bumping. Most people think potholes are2, but artist Jim Bachor sees them as canvases (画布) for his artworks.

Bachor uses the3art form of mosaic (马赛克) to create eye­catching, colorful images of famous people or simple everyday4like food. He even makes less­appealing visuals of insects.

Bachor was a graphic designer for 20 years before he began his5in mosaic. He regards an incidental trip to Europe as his motivation for changing his career. While6in Italy, Bachor fell in love with Pompeii, the preserved ancient Roman city. A tour guide pointed out a mosaic, mainly made of glass and marble, and told Bachor, "Glass and marble don't7. So, this looks essentially the same as the artist intended." Bachor says, "That kind of staying power just8me so much."

A year later Bachor returned to attend a mosaic class in Ravenna, Italy, to learn the proper way to9the ancient technique. Years after that, he mastered the technique. He10that mosaics can be just as significant today as the art form over 1，000 years ago. "I just saw that there was a(n)11to bring it into the new age as a contemporary subject，" he says.

So, Bachor decided to make a series of12for those potholes. He has13mosaic pothole art around Chicago, Detroit, New York City and even in Finland.

While he may not get14from drivers or passengers, Bachor's art is15a pleasant surprise to discover.
