Watch the video and answer the questions.
1. How many artworks did you see
2. What methods did they use to create the artworks
3. Do you think technology can be considered as a form of art
From paintbrush to lens
People create paintings with pencils, paper and paint, and create photographic artworks with cameras.
1. How many artworks did you see
2. What methods did they use to create the artworks
Check the answers
3. Do you think technology can be considered a form of art
I think technology can be considered as a form of art. For example, cameras are more accurate and faster, they are the invention of human beings as well as the fruit of our inspiration. However, when people paint with their hands, they are perhaps getting more satisfaction from their hard work. Therefore, when traditional ways of painting or modern photography co-exist with technology, the combination is one that promises great possibilities, as well as surprises.
Various answers are welcome as long as you provide reasons!
One possible answer for your inspiration!

Para. 1
Think “art”. What comes to your mind Is it Greek or Roman sculptures in the Louvre, or Chinese paintings in the Palace Museum Or maybe, just maybe, it’s a dancing pattern of lights
The author opens the passage with three questions, what functions do they have
The three questions get the readers engaged so they are curious to read.
Several typical artworks are mentioned while asking questions, stimulating readers’ previous knowledge about the topic of art.
The third question naturally serves as a transition, leading to Para 2.

Para. 2
The artworks by American artist Janet Echelman look like colourful floating clouds when they are lit up at night. Visitors to one of her artworks in Vancouver could not only enjoy looking at it, they could also interact with it—literally. They did this by using their phones to change its colours and patterns. Exhibits such as these are certainly new and exciting, but are they really art
1. What figure of speech is used in the underlined sentence What’s the function
Simile (明喻):
2. What does “literally” mean What’s the function
真正地，確實地。
To make the description easy to understand and imagine for readers.
To emphasize the truth of the fact that visitors could interact with the artwork even if this may seem surprising or hard to believe.
3. How did visitors interact with the artwork
By using their phones to change its colours and patterns.

Para. 3
Whatever your opinion, people have been expressing their thoughts and ideas through art for thousands of years. To do this, they have used a variety of tools and technologies. Yet Michelangelo and others have been labelled as “artists” rather than “technicians”. This means that art and technology have always been seen as two very separate things.
Why is the example of Michelangelo and others mentioned in Para. 3
To provide supporting proof for the point that art and technology have always been seen as two very separate things.
Read to answer the question：
Today, however, technological advances have led to a combination of art and technology. As a result, the art world is changing greatly. Now art is more accessible to us than ever before. Take for example one of China’s most famous paintings from the Song Dynasty, Along the River During the Qingming Festival. As this artwork is rarely on display, people have sometimes queued up to six hours for a chance to see it. Once in front of the painting, they only have limited time to spend taking in its five metres of scenes along the Bian River in Bianjing. Thanks to technology however, millions more people have been able to experience a digital version of this painting. Three-dimensional (3D) animation means that viewers can see the characters move around and interact with their surroundings. They can also watch as the different scenes change from daylight into nighttime.
What is the function of the first sentence
It serves as a topic sentence and a transitional sentence.
Para. 4
Read to answer the question：
Para. 4
Millions more people have been able to experience a digital version of this painting.
3D animation allows viewers to see the characters move around and interact with their surroundings.
Viewers can watch as different scenes change from daylight into nighttime.
Before seeing the painting, people have sometimes queued up to six hours so as to see it.
Once in front of the painting, viewers only have limited time to spend appreciating the scenes.

Para. 5
The art-tech combination is also changing our concepts of “art” and the “artist”. Not only can we interact with art, but also take part in its creation. With new technological tools at our fingertips, more and more people are exploring their creative sides. The result has been exciting new art forms, such as digital paintings and videos.

Para. 6
However, the increase in the amount and variety of art produced has also raised questions over its overall quality. Can a video of someone slicing a tomato played in slow motion really be called “art”
What is the function of “however”
Contrast. “However” is used at the start of Para 6 to connect the two opposite aspects of the combination of art and technology (positive effects & possible problems). It suggests a transition.
Read to answer the question：
Para. 7
Similarly, such developments are making the line between art and technology less distinct. Can someone unfamiliar with traditional artists’ tools really call themselves an “artist” And is the artist the creator of the art itself, or the maker of the technology behind it A recent project used technology and data in the same way that Rembrandt used his paints and brushes. The end result, printed in 3D, was a new “Rembrandt painting” created 347 years after the artist’s death. These advances are perhaps bringing us closer to a time when computers rather than humans create art.
What is the function of “similarly”
Used at the paragraph beginning, “similarly” is a mark that like Para. 6, Para. 7 will continue to raise another problem that might be caused by the combination of art and technology.
