《名人传》由法国著名作家罗曼·罗兰的《贝多芬传》、《米开朗琪罗传》和《托尔斯泰传》组成,它们均创作于二十世纪初期,无论在当时是在后世都产生了广泛的影响。在这三部传记中,罗曼·罗兰是紧紧把握住这三位拥有各自领域的艺术家的共同之处,着力刻画了他们为追求真善美而长期忍受苦难的心路历程。
书中写了三个世界上赫赫有名的人物。第一个是德国作曲家:贝多芬;另一个是意大利的天才雕刻家:米开朗基罗;最后一个是俄罗斯名作家:托尔斯泰。
在这本《名人传》中最令我感动的就是贝多芬的故事。贝多芬是个音乐天才,他的天分很早就被他的父亲发现了,不幸的是,贝多芬的父亲并不是一个称职的好父亲,他天天让贝多芬练琴,不顾及他的心情,贝多芬的童年是十分悲惨的,他的母亲在他十六岁时就去世了,他的父亲变成了挥霍的酒鬼。
但是贝多芬没有因此而沉沦,他把自己的全部精力,都投入到了自己所热爱的音乐事业中去了。当他沉醉在音乐给他带来的幸福当中时,不幸的事情又发生了:他的耳朵聋了。对于一个音乐家而言,最重要的莫过于耳朵,而像贝多芬这样以音乐为生的大音乐家,却聋了耳朵,这个打击是常人所接受不了的。
贝多芬的一生是悲惨的,也是多灾多难的,但他为什么还能成功呢?为什么正常人做不到的事,他却能做到呢?这引起了我的深思。我认为,贝多芬之所以成功,是因为它有着超与凡人的毅力和奋斗精神。面对困难,他丝毫无惧。这就是他成功的秘诀。我学会:只要给自己无限的勇气,再可怕的敌人也可以打败。
冬天终于过去了,春天踏着欢快的脚步来到人间。
寒风被赶走了,取而代之的是蒙蒙细雨。“沙沙沙”地飘向大地,仿佛在说:“春天到了!”公园里的景色焕然一新。
岸边,成排的柳树刚刚吐出嫩芽,叶子小小的,绿绿的。真像是春姑娘的长发,悠悠地在风雨中飘荡。绵绵春风把小草染绿了,一片万紫千红的.景象。各种花儿
争先恐后地开放了。红的、黄的、紫的、粉的……不用人工栽培,它们就会自己在风吹日晒的关照下竞相开放。阵阵清香扑鼻而来。当然,如果没有那一片片青幽幽的小草的陪衬,花儿也不会显得多姿多彩。小草的叶尖上不时滚动着小水珠,像珍珠一般,要是太阳对着它一照,肯定会闪耀出珍珠的光彩。一棵棵落光了叶子的树木,正在给自己穿上绿莹莹的衣服呢!
小河清清的,当绵绵的细雨落到水面上时,就会溅起一圈圈涟漪。
雨终于停了。公园好像被清洗过了一遍,很干净,到处都是湿漉漉的。
春天的公园真美丽!
在素描绘画当中,最关键的当然是结构。
现实中很多画家,由于对人物或物体结构缺乏了解,最后只能走形式的路子,在创作中很难拿出具有深度的力作。虽然我们已经有了方便的照相机(现在都使用数码相机)和扫描仪,可以在电脑中处理图形,能够省却很多造型的麻烦,但是,形是形,结构是结构,并不是一个概念。对绘画的过程而言,形是附着在结构之上的表象,而结构才是对象的支撑;外在形的轮廓无法真正表现对象的内在美。
我们所观察到的对象的外形,那是一种表象,一种轮廓。当对象一旦变换位置,而我们又缺乏对结构的了解,就很难着手。在初学阶段,几乎每个人都经历了利用稳定的三角形来确定形体的大体位置和构图,然后再用小的虚拟的三角形、方形等分解被画对象局部的位置,这样的方法最后只能是比葫芦画瓢,照相般描绘对象。
就像我们已经走过了充饥的年代一样,我们已经走过了缺图的年代,正跨入一个读图的时代。各种图形、图像、图库层出不穷,再用照相的方法——抄照片去再现对象,倒不如干脆去搞摄影算了,那我们还不如照相机来得客观。对画家来说,最难以接受的便是被人夸奖为:看画得多好,像照片一样。也就是说,那些个作品没有强烈、强调和更深层次的东西,缺少画家对形体结构的理解和对对象的内涵表现的创意,这又怎么能算得上绘画的艺术作品呢?
艺术的真实,并不是纯客观的真实,而是画家通过自己的感官和手,表现画家内心的感受的一种艺术的真实——去粗取精、去伪存真、由此及彼、由表及里的刻画与刻划。
今年寒假,我和范布宁等三个小朋友一起去报了一个“素描班”,除了画架等材料,学费全免,连“学生”也是“老师”组织起来的。哈哈,其实是我想学素描,妈妈帮我组织的,因为她就是老师。
第一节课是教画圆柱。在正式画之前,先需要整理用品:铅笔要削好,画架要搭好,纸要铺好……我高兴得不得了,恨不得直接动手画,还得先看示范吧。先打一个框架,再打线条,深深浅浅……转眼间,一个漂亮的圆柱就诞生了,好像是放在纸上的,超有立体感。因为素描有高光点、亮面、灰面、阴影、明暗交接线五调子,把这五调子表现出来就有立体感了。看着妈妈画,我想:“这简单,看我的!”于是开始学妈妈的样子打框架。但有句话说的好:看事容易做事难。
刚开始打圆柱上面的那个扁圆时就发现:原来这么难!笔好像故意在和我作对似的,怎么也打不圆。而妈妈要求用直线组成圆,我却直线画成了圆弧。这时我一开始的高兴劲全像天边的云被风吹走了一样,无影无踪了。我费了九牛二虎之力,终于勉强画好了我的框架,但“不幸”还是发生了:妈妈说我画得:1、太小;2、结构不对。两个原因就把我的这幅“佳作”PS掉了,并让我在反面重画。这真让我“欲哭无泪”啊!我只好老老实实地看妈妈是怎么画的,然后学着妈妈样用心去临摹,终于又一次勉强把框架画好了。看看范布宁:哇,她画得真快!但我告诫自己:不能急,画得太快会把好不容易搭起来的框架搞糟的。
接下来是在框架里用线条画出明暗,这样就有立体感了。打线条也是有讲究的,线条要打得两头一样粗细,做到“两头轻,中间略粗”为最高境界。但这种线条不是一天两天能够练出来的,这是一点;第二点更重要的是打线条千万不能乱,打出来要一组一组的,并要有在角度的交叉。如先打横着的一组,再打斜着的一组;第三点是线条的深浅关系,如果要浅,则既可以减少线条数量,也可以把线条加深或变浅,除了手上用力不一样,加深或变浅可以用不同软硬度的.铅笔。
最后,我完成了那张作品。看着有些模样的圆柱,我颇有些自豪:这可是我的第一张作品哦!当时自以为画得不错,等到“培训班”结束,看看真是实在比较糟糕的。我的素描旅程作文青春人物素描作文课间十分钟素描作文
I read the Chinese version of “Camille” a few years ago. At that time I was deeply moved by the main character Marguerite Gautier. “Camille” or “The Lady of the Camellias” by Alexandre Dumas, fils, is the story of Marguerite Gautier, a young courtesan, or kept woman, in Paris in the mid 1800's, and how she falls in love with a young man, Armand Duval, and then tries to escape from her questionable past. Unfortunately, it comes back to haunt her and she ends up returning to that life and dies painfully and alone, but with the knowledge that she was a noble woman at heart. When I first began to read the book, I did not care for Marguerite or her attitude or lifestyle, but as I got further into the narrative, I realized that her saucy attitude was a front to cover the lonely woman that she really was. She felt used, abused and unloved, until the gentle Armand Duval came into her life and showed her that he loved her as a person and not for what she could do for him. It must have taken great courage for Marguerite to leave the life she had lived for so long, knowing all along that it was probably too good to be true and would not last indefinitely. And it also showed that Marguerite really loved Armand Duval for she could even change herself for him.
However, happiness didn’t last for long. When M. Duval, Armand's father, came to her, pleading for her to leave Armand to save both Armand's reputation and that of his younger innocent sister, Marguerite saw a way to become pure of heart, if not in body. She felt that it was her duty, because she loved Armand so much, to do this even though it meant giving up her own happiness and hurting Armand temporarily. She reluctantly returned to her former life, knowing that.some day Armand would forgive her. Sadly, she died in debt and basically alone, except for her one female friend, Julie Duprat, who helped her during her illness. She had her journal sent to Armand after her death, explaining why she had made the choices she had. I think Dumas's last few lines about Marguerite being the exception, not the rule were quite true, and I also agreed with his view that while her lifestyle could not be condoned, we as a society assume that all of these type of women are cold and heartless, while this may not always be the case. A person can make the wrong choices in life when they are young, and try to redeem themselves, but sometimes past situations prevent them from changing their lives, even though they desperately wish to do so. This applies to both men and women in many different types of circumstances: involvement in crime; drug or alcohol abuse; gambling; prostitution; financial problems; poor marriage choices; etc. And this is the fact, which exists in the whole society.
As far as the other characters in the book, I think Marguerite was right in saying that no one truly cared about her, but only wanted something from her, the only exceptions being Armand and Julie Duprat. Of course, the Comte de G. and Comte de N. wanted her body and appearance. The
Duke needed to “wake up and smell the coffee” and realize that she could never replace his dead daughter. If he truly cared, he could have helped her leave her lifestyle without “keeping” her himself. And lastly, Prudence was a blood-sucking leech who used Marguerite almost worse than the men. I also think she was jealous of the fact that Marguerite had so much more courage than herself and someone truly loved her.
Last morning, when tiding my bookshelf, I took this book out of the shelf, and a dried flower flew away from the book. It was pale blue, very transparent, with thin fine veins. a dried flower flew away from the book. It was pale blue, very transparent, with thin fine veins. I held it against the morning light and blew on it. The soft breeze carried it away. Camille is just like the camellia, she could never escape from the destiny of withering. But it wasn’t her fault; it’s because of the evil of Capitalism and the hideousness of that society.
Suddenly, I remembered a saying: “Women are like the flowers”. Those pretty women are like those beautiful flowers; their delicate beauty makes people feel they are the miracle of life. However, even the God envies their beauty. It seems that beautiful women always have tragic endings. As we are normal persons, even we can see the hideousness of humanity that results in their fate of withering, we can at most ask quietly in our hearts: Where have those beautiful flowers gone? Where have they gone?
The Life And Adventures Of Robinson Crusoe
It seemed to be such a coincidence that the night after I finished reading The Life And Adventures Of Robinson Crusoe, I was to dine in a restaurant distinctly related to the book itself. This restaurant was no other than the famous American-styled “Friday ’s. ” The reason for mentioning this restaurant is quite straightforward to all the gentlemen, ladies and children who have read the novel and enjoyed it, which is the fact that this restaurant was, most likely, named after the American Native in Robinson Crusoe, called Friday. This restaurant offers very exceptional service, for instance when the waitresses are asked to order dishes they kneel rather than stand, which, unlike the other restaurants I have been to, makes it easier for the customers to hear them speak. Moreover, Friday’s friendly services to the customers help them to make better choices when ordering dishes. I remembered when I went to Friday ’s last time; the waitress kindly described the items on the menu with precise details. It turned out that the combo I initially wanted was designed to be shared among a large group, not to be eaten by one person. I think this restaurant shows many commendable features similar to that of Friday. Friday brought emotional warmth to the people around him with his appealing personality. I think it was this personality that affected Crusoe and made him say that he loved Friday when Crusoe didn ’t express love for his parents, brothers, sisters, or even his wife. “When he espied me, he came running to me, laying himself down again upon the ground, with all the possible signs of an humble, thankful disposition, making many antic gestures to show it to let me know how he would serve me as long as he lived.” This was what Friday did after Crusoe had rescued him from the two savages chasing him. It was easy for me to see why Crusoe had loved Friday. After sometime, Crusoe and Friday were to rescue Friday’s father. When Friday reunited with his father, the scene was easy to move anyone: “It would have moved anyone to tears to have seen how Friday kissed him, embraced him, hugged him, cried, laughed, halloed, jumped about, danced,
sung; and then sung and jumped about again, like a distracted creature. It was a good while before I could make him speak to me.” This is my favourite chapter in the whole book. It is hard to see why Friday is an ex-savage when he can have personalities more praiseworthy than many civilized people, viz. Crusoe himself. “When he (Friday went to him (Friday’s father, he would sit down by him, open his breast, and hold his father’s head close to his bosom, half an hour together, to nourish it; then he took his arms and ankles, which were numbed and stiff with the binding, and rubbed them with his hands.” Furthermore, Friday’s expression of loyalty in asking Crusoe to kill him rather than leave him is more heartfelt than anything Crusoe ever says or does.
Crusoe, on the absolute contrary, seems incapable of deep feelings, as shown by his account of leaving his family—he never shows any emotions. After a moving lecture from Robinson’s father about his future, he still decided to follow his own wandering ambition. Careless was he about the wishes of his parents to keep him alive and prosperous, as he was the only child left in the family. When he came back from the island which he had lived on for twenty eight years, he found that it had been too late to tell his parents that he was still alive, but yet again he did not feel sorry for them; he also did not feel sorry for the two people who had to live in misery for nearly thirty years under the allusion all of their sons were dead. He had the same feelings for his wife: when he was married, he said it was “not either to my disadvantage or dissatisfaction”, implying that it was also neither to his advantage nor his satisfaction. Moreover, after his wife died, Robinson did not think of looking after the three children they had, but went back to the island, which he had lived on for twenty-eight years. It was on this trip which Robinson Crusoe revisited “His Island ” as he called it. I feel that Robinson ’s indifference to his family is almost emotionally cruel.
Before had clearly shown the contrast between Crusoe’s and Friday’s personalities, as when Friday, in his joyful reunion with his father, displayed far more emotion toward his family members than Crusoe, whereas Crusoe never mentions missing his family or dreams about the happiness of seeing them again. I think Defore is very successful in introducing Friday as part of the novel, it makes the whole novel seem much more complete and gripping to the reader, as well as proving that Defoe’s ideology of racism is civilized unlike many other Europeans at that time; natives and savages are not worse than others but can perhaps even be more modern and civilized. Those are the reasons of why I like The Life And Adventures Of Robinson Crusoe and Friday.
Many people simply regard Pride and Prejudice as a love story, but in my opinion, this book is an illustration of the society at that time. She perfectly reflected the relation between money and marriage at her time and gave the people in her works vivid characters. The characters have their own personalities. Mrs. Bennet is a woman who makes great efforts to marry off her daughters. Mr. Bingley is a friendly young man, but his friend, Mr. Darcy, is a very proud man who seems to always feel superior. Even the five daughters in Bennet family are very different. Jane is simple, innocent and never speaks evil of others. Elizabeth is a clever girl who always has her own opinion. Mary likes reading classic books. (Actually she is a pedant. Kitty doesn’t have her own opinion but likes to follow her sister, Lydia. Lydia is a girl who follows exotic things, handsome man, and is somehow a little profligate. When I read the book, I can always find the same personalities in the society now. That is why I think this book is indeed the representative of the society in Britain in the 18th century.
The family of gentleman in the countryside is Jane Austen’s favourite topic. But this little topic can reflect big problems. It concludes the stratum situation and economic relationships in Britain in her century. You can find these from the very beginning of this book.
The first sentence in this book is impressive. It reads: “It is a truth well known to all the world that an unmarried man in poss ession of a large fortune must be in need of a wife”. The undertone is very clear: the foundation of the marriage at that time is not emotion but possession.
People always think that Austen was an expert at telling love stories. In fact, the marriage in her book is not the result of love, but the result of economic needs. After reading this book, I know the truth is that a poor woman must be in need of a husband, a wealthy man.
I couldn’t forget how eager Mrs. Bennet wants to marry off her daughte rs. If you want to know why she is so crazy about these things, I must mention the situation in Britain at that time. Only the eldest son had the privilege of inheriting his father’s possessions. Younger sons and daughters who are used to luxurious lives have no choice but marry a man or woman in possession of a large fortune to continue their comfortable lives. Thus, we can see that getting married is a way to become wealthier, particularly for women without many possessions. Jane Austen told us that money and possession determined everything, including marriage and love in her century.
In “Pride and Prejudice”, the sister of Mr. Bingley strongly opposed his plan of marrying Jane because the Bennets don’t have many possessions and their social positions are much lower than them. From this, we can see there are a lot of obstacles for a not very rich woman to marry a wealthy husband. The society, the relatives would not allow them to get married.
In modern society, although the marriages of economic needs have decreased rapidly, the concept of “money determines everything” is still rooted in some people’s mind. A lot of parents try hard to interfere their children’s marriages. Education background, possessions, jobs remains the main reason that may influence one’s marriage. Marry for money is still a big problem in our
society. We can’t help thinking: can money determine everything?
Austen left this problem for us to think. The genius of Jane Austen lies in this perfect simplicity, the simplicity that reflects big problems. Although Austen was only 21 when she wrote “Pride and Prejudice”, her sharp observation of social lives makes the style of this book surprisingly mature and lively. The plots in her works are always very natural. The development of the plot is as inevitable as a problem in mathematics. I think the depth of Pride and Prejudice is the reason that makes this book prominent and classic. Today, her book still can be the guide telling us the economic relationships both at her time and in modern time.
