Beauty, an ancient topic, accompanied by human civilization, is like a vivid textbook. So what is beauty? What is beauty? A woman who "sinks fish and falls geese, closes the moon and feels ashamed of flowers", we say she is beautiful; A woman with "less tears and a little breath" is also said to be a kind of beauty; The miracle in architectural history, the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy, we call it beauty. What's more, Venus with Milos' broken arm is a beautiful decoration in people's eyes. Why? Next, let's solve the mystery in the article Venus of Milos by Japanese contemporary writer Kiyooka Takuyuki!
Second, solve the problem.
Venus of Milos, also known as Aphrodite of Milos, is the goddess of love and beauty in Greek mythology. Legend has it that it was carved by an ancient Greek artist. The statue was discovered on the Greek island of Milos in 1820. It is half-naked, with a beautiful face and a well-proportioned figure, and its clothes slide down to its hips. What is striking is the deformity of her arm, which has brought infinite regret to the world, but it has also become an eternal topic for artists, philosophers and writers of all ages. Kiyooka Takuyuki, a Japanese writer in this paper, with her unique and novel artistic sensibility, releases her imagination from the emptiness of two jade arms that should be stretched or bent under the shoulders of the goddess of beauty, and eulogizes the ultimate beauty of Venus and the exquisite artistic creativity of human beings with pen and ink.
Third, study the text and explore the main idea of the article.
1. Listen to the text and find out the author's basic ideas.
Clear: The author's basic view is that "she must lose her arms to be so beautiful and charming."
2. Study the first part in detail
(1) Assign a student to read the first part aloud.
(2) Question: How does the author feel about losing Venus' arms? How did he specifically explain this feeling?
Blackboard writing:
(3) Ask the students to summarize this part in their own words.
Clarity: Venus' accidental falling off of her arm has produced an artistic effect of overall beauty, giving people an artistic feeling of overall beauty.
3. Study the second part in detail.
(1) Teacher Mode Reading Part II
(2) Question: What are the author's views and feelings about the plan to restore Venus' arm?
Clarity: The author thinks that these plans are "all disgusting plans", "all strange ideas", "a feeling of fear and emptiness comes to mind" and "I will deny the real prototype with anger". It can be seen that the author is extremely disgusted with the plan to restore the two arms.
(3) Question: What is the real reason why the author feels this way in the original words?
Clear: "This shore is full of fantastic nothingness, while the other shore is limited and not completely' there'". It can be seen that Venus, who lost her arms, is particularly charming and exudes fantastic colors, while Venus, who recovered her arms, can't produce aesthetic feeling beyond "loss" at all.
Blackboard writing: Restore the limited arms and lose the "lost" beauty.
(4) Ask the students to summarize this part in their own words.
Clarity: The author discusses from the opposite side that Venus with restored arms will be greatly limited in artistic effect, and its aesthetic feeling is far less than that of Lost.
4. Study the third part in detail
(1) Students read the third part in groups.
(2) Question: If Venus lost not her arms but other parts of her body, what would be her artistic effect? (original answer)
The students thought about it and made it clear: "This statue may not radiate the ever-changing brilliance of life."
(3) Question: Why can we only lose our "arms" and radiate the ever-changing brilliance of life?
Clarity: because "weapon", to be exact, is "hand", "the means for people to negotiate with the world, others or themselves", "the medium of these relations, or the ever-changing principled way of negotiation." "On the other hand, Venus of Milos lost her arms, which made her dream of pursuing countless possible hands." Generally speaking, losing her hands only gives people space to imagine the charm brought by her hands in various forms.
It is written on the blackboard: If you want to have a dream song, you must lose the brilliance of your arms.
5. Students discuss: the relationship between the three parts of the article.
Clarity: The first part of the article discusses the artistic effect that losing both arms can bring overall aesthetic feeling from the front. The second part, from the opposite side, discusses that Venus, whose arm is restored, will not surpass the aesthetic feeling of "loss". The third part discusses that Venus of Milos must lose her "arms" in order to have a dream by using the theory of sculpture aesthetics. In addition, it is impossible to lose any part of the body to produce this effect, that is to say, not all random losses will form "beauty." This further strengthens the firmness of the author's point of view.
6. Ask the students to summarize the theme of the article in their own words.
Clarity: The article expounds the viewpoints of "Venus of Milos" and "If you want to be so beautiful and charming, you must lose your arms" through various discourses (front, back and side). This is intended to show that although it is a pity to lose your arms, it can bring people real artistic charm-the beauty of "missing" or "lost". At the same time, the author's novel ideas have also touched and broadened people's new horizons of understanding beauty.
Fourth, explore and appreciate meaningful sentences in the text in combination with the context.
Students ask questions, and teachers are puzzled. Teachers and students discuss the meaning of the following sentences together. (projecting sentences with multimedia)
Clear: In combination with the following, "the fate of works of art" refers to the artistic expression method that leaves viewers with aftertaste and imagination. "Something" should refer to the viewer's beautiful imagination of the shape of the residual arm, that is, the artistic effect. As mentioned later, "it exudes a mysterious atmosphere that is difficult to describe accurately", "it breeds a dream of life with various possibilities" and "implies that there may be countless pairs of beautiful jade arms".
The main meaning of this sentence is that because of the deformity of the arm, it gives people room for imagination, imagining countless pairs of beautiful jade arms, creating a mysterious atmosphere, and all kinds of virtual images form a beautiful contrast with the statue. This "lost" aesthetic feeling has nothing to do with the creator. Artistic effect determines the fate of artistic works. The magical artistic effect of Venus has enhanced the artistic value of this statue, making it transcend time and space, go to the world, go to eternity and become an immortal masterpiece.
2. How to understand "I feel that this is an unpretentious leap from special to universal, and I also think that this is an accidental pursuit of getting complete by giving up part." This sentence.
Clarity: This is a philosophical explanation. If the arm is complete, no matter how wonderful it is, it is only a specific form, which is "special" limited by its own form. Incomplete arms can arouse people's endless imagination and imagine countless pairs of beautiful jade arms, which is amorphous "universality" and "integrity". Venus lost her arm and was a qualitative leap in artistic effect.
3. How to understand "once people are fascinated by this mysterious atmosphere, they will secretly fear that two unobstructed arms will reappear on this statue. Even two charming jade arms! " In a word.
Clear: This sentence means that Venus with a broken arm has a "lost" aesthetic feeling. If the charming atmosphere is restored, there is no such beauty and atmosphere, and the appreciation value is far from perfect.
4. Interpretation: "If I find the real prototype, I can no longer hold a trace of doubt and can only believe it, then I will deny the real prototype with anger and use it in the name of art".
Clarity: The author thinks that the real prototype, Venus with arms, is far less rich than Venus with broken arms. From an artistic point of view, it should be affirmed that Venus the Brokeback.
5. Interpretation "Venus of Milos, who bears the fate of works of art, lost her arms, which is an incredible irony of these metaphors and praises." In a word.
Clear: From the last article, people attach great importance to the role of "hand". Venus, on the other hand, has an extraordinary artistic effect because of the deformity of her arm. This seems to be a mockery of the above idea.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) expansion
1. Laozi thinks that "everything is born, everything is born without anything", "the image of nothing" and "the elephant is invisible". These philosophical languages refer to a truth that "being" and "nothing" coexist. Try to illustrate this truth from this article
After discussion, the students made it clear that Venus' arms are incomplete, but "no" means "yes" because she has countless pairs of beautiful jade arms. Kiyooka Takuyuki, a writer, deeply understands this truth. With his unique artistic sensitivity, he surpassed the external form of "truth" of art and glimpsed the most profound special law of art; "See richness, infinite vitality, infinite mystery and infinite beauty from nothingness."
2. Artists in China have long understood the aesthetic principle of coexistence of reality and fiction, and have created a lot of excellent works on this basis. Please think about it and give some examples.
Clear: This is an open question, involving a wide range of contents. Students can give one or two examples. For example, when the painter painted "an ancient temple hidden in the mountains", there was no ancient temple on the screen, only a monk carried water along the mountain road; When the painter painted "The Fragrance of Horseshoe after Stepping on Flowers", there were no flowers on the painting, only there were many bees around the horseshoe; In a painting by Qi Baishi, a dead branch climbed out and a bird stood there. Nothing else, but it can make people feel that birds are surrounded by an infinite space and are in harmony with the stars in the sky.
Sixth, the text summary
With his keen eyes, Kiyooka Takuyuki re-examined Venus, which has always been praised, but it is difficult to describe it perfectly, and expounded many novel viewpoints. It can be said that this article really explains why Venus of Milos has mysterious and elegant names such as "brokeback beauty", "beauty defect" and "incomplete beauty" from an artistic point of view. At the same time, the article also inspires and inspires our love for art and constantly improves our aesthetic quality.
