Exhibition

We went to an exhibition on December 02, 2008. The exhibition of sculptures were made by Wu Wei Shan. The exhibition was showing sculptures. The artworks were made by one artist. Most of the artworks there were both traditional and contemporary.
My favorite artwork was a sculpture called “Lu Xun”. Lu Xun’s real name was Zhou Shuren. He was one of the greatest authers in Chinese history. He was called “China's backbone” when he passed away. From the artwork, it is just a head. But we can still see some Lu Xun’s special features, such as his beard, his hairstyle and his eyes. The colour of the sculpture is just like his skin. In this sculpture there are still many scratches, These scratches like Lu Xun's face wrinkles. We also can see one of Lu Xun’s eyes is big and the other is small. Why his two eyes have different sizes. We can contact it to the background of China. We know that he came up with a lot of ideals to make china become stronger. So,Wu Wei Shan made more details on this sculpture. Maybe he just wanted to tell us that Lu Xun worked hard for our country.
This artwork made me full of patriotic feeling. Lu Xun’s spirit effected me .As a Chinese student , We had an obligation and responsibility to study hard. I think many students do not listen Chinese classes very carefully in GCA. In fact, it was very impolite to the Chinese traditional culture. I hope our students can changed their attitude to work hard in Chinese class. Chinese classes were as important as Canadian classes. Try our best to make Chinese traditional culture more and more prosperous is also what Lu Xun want to do during his whole life.
This artwork also gave me a felling of fortitude. Whenever you encounter any difficulties, You should not give up. Just remember Lu Xun, he is your example. The shape of Lu Xun’s beard gave me this feeling. The curitor of the exhibition told us that Wu Weishan made Lu Xun’s beard very sharp to show others the fortitude that Lu Xun had.
I like the artwork very much because I like Lu Xun’s articles. In other words,I am a fan of Lu Xun. I know plenty of informations about Lu xun. I can claim to be his bosom friend.So when I first saw this artwork ,I have a special felling. I think I can understand the meaning behind the sculpture. I like the artwork very much.
Different people have different opinions. I think it is a good artwork,but you may disagree. So, I do not need to tell you if it is a good artwork or not. I just write my feelings about the artwork. I hope you can learn more about this artwork after I give you these introuductions.
