Exploring With Picasso

Picassos mother said that the first word he uttered was “pencil”. One story tells that he stared to draw before he learned to say any words at all. He was interested in drawing， painting， and sculpturing from the time he was a small boy in Spain. Picasso was an inventor and explorer. However， he didnt invent machines or explore strange places. Instead， he explored and experimented with art. He was always able to work anywhere or anytime， day and night. He carved a figure from the nearest stick of wood， painted with his fingers， made drawings with a rusty nail， and even made a bulls head from the handlebars and seat of a bicycle. Picasso painted Spanish fighting bulls， horse races and clowns. He painted people and animals as they are. He also invented a kind of art called cubism， which is made up of simple shapes like squares or cubes. If you look closely at the picture named Three Musicians， youll see not only shapes but also three men. What other things can you find in the picture？ Picasso explored the world of art and discovered new ways of looking at our world.

據畢加索的母親說“鉛筆”是畢加索會說的第一個詞，有一個故事說的就是他還沒有學會說話就開始畫畫了。當他在西班牙還是個小男孩的時候，他就對素描、繪畫和雕塑產生了興趣。畢加索是一個發明家，也是一個探索者?？伤⑽窗l明任何機器，也沒有到任何奇異的地方探險。相反地，他是藝術領域的探索者和實驗者。他可以不分晝夜地、任何地點工作。他用手邊的木棍雕塑、用手指作畫、用生銹的鐵釘素描，甚至用自行車的車把和車座做了一個牛頭。畢加索描繪西班牙斗牛、賽馬和小丑。他用真實的手法勾勒人和動物。他還創造了一種叫作立體畫派的藝術，由正方形和立方體等簡單的形狀構成。如果你仔細觀察叫作《三個音樂家》的畫作——你不僅能看到各種形狀，還能看到三個人。在畫中你還能發現什么呢？畢加索在藝術的世界中探索，并發現了觀察我們這個世界的新方法。endprint
