Art is an important part of human culture. It has many different forms and is deeply loved by people around the world. Each country has its own special art styles, which show their unique (独特的) history, traditions and even ways of thinking.
Painting is one of the most popular and widely spread art forms. In China, ink wash painting has a long history dating back to ancient times. Artists use black ink and soft writing brushes to draw beautiful mountains, rivers, birds and flowers with simple yet elegant (优雅) lines. In Europe, oil painting is well-known across the world. Painters use rich and colorful oil paints to make lively and lifelike pictures of people, animals and daily life views.

Have you heard about a world-famous landscape painting named Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains? It was painted by Huang Gongwang, one of the Four Masters of the Yuan dynasty. Many experts think it is among the greatest masterpieces in Chinese art history. The story behind this painting is also very unusual.
Huang was almost eighty years old when he began working on Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains. He first made a rough drawing of the whole painting in one sitting. Over the following years, he then added parts to it whenever he was in the mood. The final painting was almost seven metres long and it was given to a friend as a present.
Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains shows the beauty of the countryside of Jiangnan. The painting takes us on a breathtaking journey in the mountains. Along the way, we follow narrow paths, cross wooden bridges and pass along a wide river. If we look carefully, we can see people far away in the landscape. Some woodsmen are hidden among the trees. On the river, there is a man sitting alone on a boat. He is fishing. It looks like he is at one with nature, and we feel the same when we look at the painting.
Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains was such an amazing painting that it was copied by hundreds of artists. The original painting changed owners many times. One of the owners liked it so much that he even put it next to himself while sleeping and eating.
Sometime around 1650, something terrible happened: the famous painting was damaged by fire, and it was split into two pieces. The two parts went their separate ways. In the following centuries, they each experienced many dramatic events. One of them even became part of the Qianlong Emperor's art collection!
In 2011, after more than 300 years of separation, the two parts of the legendary painting were at last shown together in one exhibition.

Taking a great photo is not easy and there are lots of things to consider. How do you choose and organize your subjects within your photo? Here are some tips from the art, design and photography experts.
Find a focus. When taking a picture, ask yourself, " What's the focus?" If you are taking a picture of a crowded street, choose a subject which catches your eye. If it's a landscape photo of a field,the focus could be a big tree.
It's a bit boring to put your subject right in the middle. Place it a little on the left or right of your photo. Imagine your photo changes to a three-by-three grid(网格). One of the corners of your central square is where your focus should be.
Create color contrasts(对比). Color in a picture is more easily noticed if it has a contrast. They will stand out more if they are taken beside a grey stone wall, or photographed against a bright blue sky.
Try different angles. To add more interest to a photo, try taking it from different angles. This means you need to move around, taking photos from different sides, from above or from below. For example, if you photograph a building from a plane it looks tiny but a photo of the same building looked up at from the street makes it look huge.
Practice makes perfect. Try everything for the perfect shot.
A.Place the photo correctly.
B.It can tell a different story.
C.Remember the rule of thirds.
D.Think about focus, color, light and more.
E.It could be a person wearing bright colors.
F.If you take a picture of yellow flowers, don't fill your picture with them.
G.When taking pictures of animals, you should be careful not to disturb them.

Artist Thomas Dambo from Denmark is well known for making giant trolls(巨人怪) out trash and recycled wood. He spent his time (create) seventeen heads in a warehouse(仓库) for his giant trolls in three years. The heads are believed to be around four to seven feet tall, with funny a little bit scary expressions.
Dambo later added these pretty huge heads to the giant trolls he had made in outdoor locations. These 15-to-21-foot-tall giant trolls are (hide) in the green space around Denmark. They include islands and parks where there are few people. He shared some information about their locations on social media. "It's a kind of treasure hunt, gift for families in Denmark who have a vacation there," said Dambo. "The trolls can help remind us that there are beautiful places in our backyards."
Since 2014, Dambo (put) a number of the wooden creatures(生物) in the green space and parks around the world. He has (success) turned trolls into eco-warriors. His trolls communicate with tourists and the world in (usual) ways.
Dambo wants people to treat trash differently. More importantly, he wants people to realize the importance of recycling. He really hopes these special trolls will make people care more for the environment.
"My (artwork) focus on the problems people are facing in the modern world. I do hope it will inspire people to take better care of our planet," Dambo said. "Trash has value, and (recycle) things has more value. It can provide people with the emotional(情感的) value."
