整體設(shè)計(jì)
教學(xué)內(nèi)容分析
This is the first teaching period of this unit.The central part of this period is the reading passage with the name of A Short History of Western Painting showing the students the history of Western painting.
Warming Up gives students four questions to discuss，aiming at preparing students for both the content and the grammar of the unit.
Pre－reading provides three questions to help students focus on the topic of the reading passage and leads the students to think about any personal experiences of Western art they may have，such as things about art galleries，paintings in galleries，some Western artists and paintings.
Reading mainly introduces the history of Western painting.There are four major movements in Western art.Social，political and cultural changes contribute to the changes in artistic styles.There are four pictures of paintings in the passage representing the four major movements.After a glance at the title of the text and the headlines within it we know that it is a historical report，in which there are many time expressions.Then we can know the topic of the text and how the information is organized—in the order of time，from the earliest to the present.
Comprehending consists of four written or oral exercises for the students to do so as to help the students to get a better understanding of the text，that is to say，to help the teacher to check how much the students have understood the text.

教學(xué)參考
Chinese Painting
Chinese painting is generally divided by subject matter into four broad categories：figures，landscapes，flowers and birds，and bamboo and rocks.The first three categories succeeded each other in the summits of their developments，while the painting of bamboo and rocks became a casual pleasure of the educated elite from the 12th century on.Before the Han Dynasty，founded in 202 B．C.，there was already a tradition of figure painting and portraiture of which remnants survive on later bronzes，jades，and pottery.During the Han Dynasty，the art of depicting figures became increasingly elaborate.Rulers used didactic art to emphasize codes of government.Surviving examples of stone engraving and wall painting show strong and lively drawing.
Landscape
The art of landscape painting formed the central and most standing tradition in Chinese painting.On a basis of Taoist communion with nature and strengthened by Buddhism，there was a strong literary tradition of seclusion among，and meditation upon the forests，streams and mountains.China's landscape painting brought nature's presence to wherever man desired it.Elements of landscape are already present in art of the Han Dynasty，but development did not really begin until the Tang Dynasty.
The succeeding Northern Sung Dynasty(960－1127)has often been called the Golden Age of Chinese Landscape.The differences in approach and technique that naturally appeared became gradually categorized into traditions：the northern and southern schools.
Birds and Flowers
In the Tang Dynasty at least one painter，Tiao Kuang－yin，was already known as a specialist in birds and flowers.However，the first two important names in bird and flower painting，Huang Chuan and Hsu Hsi，occur in the 10th century.Huang Chuan，a subject of the latter Shu Dynasty，inherited the traditions of the Tang Dynasty.His paintings of flowers and birds were in an accordingly archaic style，with strict conventions and conservative attention to careful realism.Hsu His，who lived under the Southern Tang Dynasty created the “boneless” mo－ku style in which forms are built up with pale washes and outlines are not used.His inspirations were unrestrained and the school he initiated was considered much the more creative.Mi Fu，the leading literati critic of the 11th century remarked that ten paintings by Huang Chuan were not worth one by Hsu Hsi.Later bird and flower painters generally belonged to either the Huang or the Hsu tradition.
Stones and Bamboo
Stones and bamboo originally appeared as background objects in other types of paintings but gradually evolved into a separate genre.The 10th century Southern Tang ruler Li Hou－chu developed a trembling brush technique in calligraphy that was also particularly suitable for painting bamboo and rocks.Tang Hsi－ya，an artist of the same time，adapted it for that purpose.In the following Sung Dynasty，the painting of bamboo became more and more popular and many famous scholars such as Wen T'ung and Su Shih were also well known for their paintings of bamboo.
