Visiting A Exhibition




On 4th.December, our class went to Nanjing University to visit an exhibition with Ms.Bartell and Ms.Hadley. All of the art works are made by a well-know artist called Wu Weishan. He is the professor of Nanjing University.
We arrived at the Nanjing University very early that we walked around the Art College. It is a beautiful place. Between the two buildings, there is a sculpture made of copper. It is a big bull. It holds its head high. It is very fortitudinous. Professor Wu’s student told us it representative the scholars in China. They do not fear any tribulation. Their spirit is like this kind of bull.
When it was 1 pm, Ms.Hadley leaded our class to the big hall. There are so many sculptures in the hall. Professor Wu’s student told us all of the sculptures are made by Wu Weishan. I watched a program about Wu Weishan before in the Planning lesson. From that program I knew Wu is a very marvelous artist. He is not famous in China but he is also famous in the world. I knew his famous art work is called Sleeping Child. Eventually I realized his uncommon skills.
In the entrance, there is a Laozi’s statuary. His student told us this art work is also his teacher’s famous production in the world. The Laozi is very small and thin. But his countenance is very lifelike. His eyes nose mouth and his goatee. It is like the great ideologist in china thousand years ago. We walked slowly and enjoy such the great works. After finishing visiting the first hall, we entered to the second hall. I saw many small sculptures in the second hall. They are small but they are fancy. I thought it is more difficult to make these small things than big things. The artist must have lofty skills. So Wu Weishan has. This works are unique. They are so beautiful. In the corner of the hall. I saw Sleeping Child. It is a small one. I saw it many times on the TV, but now the real thing is in front of my eyes. I was so excited and I fetch my camera and took many photos. Beside the small one there is a huge one. Many of my classmates stood beside the big one and took pictures. We watched all of the works carefully.
When we left the second hall, I saw there many people at the entrance. I saw a man with long hair stood in the center of the people. I knew he is Wu Weishan, a great artist. I ran to the crowd and asked him to give me his sign. He is very friendly and he is very pleased to sign for us. He is such a gentle well-known professor and artist. We are so excited after we had the great artist’s signature.
There are many huge sculptures outside and we watched them carefully. When we were ready to leave there Ms.Hadley took a picture for our class and we left a memorable moment in Nanjing University Art College.
