题目分析
翻译
一些人认为:政府应该资助艺术家来帮助艺术蓬勃发展,同时让人们都能得以接触到艺术。另一些人认为:政府对艺术的资助威胁到了艺术的纯洁性。[说明:写一篇文章,讨论哪一个观点更加接近你自己的观点,并解释你选择这个观点的理由。在展开和支持你的观点时,你需要处理上面提到的两个观点]
指导
写一篇文章,讨论你同意或反对这个观点,以及支持观点的理由达到怎样的程度。(Claim – Reason) "本题为两道老GRE的ISSUE题目综合——ISSUE101 ""Governments should provide funding for artists so that the arts can flourish and be available to all people""和ISSUE85 ""Government funding of the arts threatens the integrity of the arts"".本题讨论政府应当对艺术采取的行为以及其目的和作用。 第一种观点中:对于题目中的前半句,可以从政府扶持艺术的正面与负面作用以及对艺术“物质、精神”两层次的影响去展开分析。对于后半句,可以从政府行为的必要性以及人们不同的需求层次上进行论述。 第二种观点里:给出的观点认为政府资助对艺术的纯洁性造成了威胁,具有负面作用。本题的分析可以从物质需求和精神追求两个角度展开,需要注意以下三点: 1、单词解释——Integrity一词比较有争议,这里选取韦氏字典中纯洁性的解释:firm adherence to a code of especially moral or artistic values : incorruptibility 2、逻辑关系——无论是正面作用还是负面作用,都要建立在“政府”和“艺术”之间,不要跳出限定范围。 2、选取例子——梵高等人已经被用烂了,这个题目和艺术有关,小说、电影、音乐、绘画等都可以包括,有很多事例是可以使用。"
1. 艺术的蓬勃发展需要什么基础?艺术如何让所有人都可以接触到?(可以从物质和精神两方面来思考)
回答: 艺术的本身具有生命力和活力,能够与时俱进有良好的群众基础。艺术在物质上要能够简洁质朴,不能成为某些人的玩物,在精神上能够和民众产生良好的共鸣。
2. 政府资助艺术的目的是什么?对政府有什么好处?政府资助能满足问题一中艺术的哪些需求?
回答: 政府资助艺术为了保护艺术的延续性,使得艺术能够得到发扬和传承,能够体现政府执政为民的理念和提高民众的文化情操,丰富大家的精神生活和享受。政府资助能够确保艺术得到良好的保护和广泛的宣传。
3. 政府资助对艺术会有哪些负作用?请结合具体事例简述。
回答: 可能过度的宣传和媒体曝光下,高雅的艺术得到污染,纯粹性和纯洁性丧失。比如古老的石雕艺术,是中国最高老的工艺艺术之一,很多工艺品具有很高的科研价值和经济价值,但是随着政府资助回收和保护这一古董,很多惟利是图的人用高仿技术,谋取暴利,欺骗民众,破坏了这一高雅艺术的纯粹性。
4. 艺术在获得政府资助之后,相对于之前会有什么样的变化?这些变化有哪些是正面的,哪些是负面的?
回答: 由于艺术家不必担心生活上的压力,可以专心于艺术创作,使得艺术能够更好的呈现给大众,而且可以有更广泛的传播途径。但可能政府的干预和筛选,会丧失艺术的多样性和复杂性。
5. 是否存在为了保持艺术纯洁性而拒绝政府资助的事例?是否存在接受政府资助之后丧失艺术纯洁性的事例?如果有,请简单描述事例。
回答: 存在
6. 艺术的纯洁性是指什么?包括那些方面?怎样的行为就属于威胁或者丧失艺术的纯洁性?
回答: 艺术的纯洁性是指完全按照创作者的意愿,自由发挥,没有任何外界干涉下的纯粹的艺术表现形式,包括艺术的主题,艺术的形式,艺术的魅力和价值。如果限制艺术家的发挥与创作,对题材形式等方面加以要求就会威胁艺术的纯洁性。

Considering about the crash from humanity indifference and modern development, one challenge encountered by every kinds of arts is commonly difficult to find out the suitable soil to survive and thrive. Indeed, some outdated arts actually cannot attract the attention and affection of contemporary people without any help from government. And this often raises the debate about whether government should fund for the arts for their prosperity and blossom. While I recognize funding of arts can rescue the endangered precious culture to some extent, I still believe the excess of intervention with arts might devastate the purity and integrity of them.   We have never neglected the importance and functions of arts. They are used to acquire pleasure and relaxations from the stresses of life. They are used to express significant political and religious ideas of one country. Additionally, they are utilized as some genres of exchanged treasures in economic activities. Although the arts have a dramatic impact on the individual and on a particular culture in the society, the artists eventually attain a little abject payback, which cannot support their occupations and lives. With a massive effort from government, struggling for survive should become less of a problem who have extraordinary artistic talents rather than commercial aptitude. These artists focus on all their energy and concentration rendering their creation and innovation. Every single pathway of starving artists would be broadened and forward-looking, as is made evident by the complete flourish of art institution. We will avoid another van Gogh or Mozart as a wretched existence with the backup of government nowadays. Even if artists have already achieved an effective access to be passionate about their works, they also need powerful medium to announce and advertise the arts, in order to enhance the prospect of public appreciation and acceptation. Accidentally, the government is valuable for its ability to make use of resources to influence and encourage citizen to experience the mysterious of antiques. For example, Chinese character is one of the charming arts in language of Chinese culture. Typing in keyboard or phone is gradually hampering the writing of varieties of unfamiliar Chinese characters and it interferes with transmission of them. However, a kind of academic program called ‘Dictation Meeting of Chinese character ‘in CCTV-10 channel altered that critical circumstance, allowing for the endangered art become popular and fashionable. After that, many local television stations also established similar programs in light of such successful pattern, of course, funded and assisted by government. Viewed in this fashion, the popularization and accessibility of arts are vastly improved. Admittedly, raising money by government for funding of arts might be beneficial for the development, this behavior probably insult the integrity of arts. It is undoubted that the purity of arts is the most important characteristic, including the intention of author, the subject matter and specific form. All of these are the crucial cores of authentic arts, which cannot be correlation with money and profits. As a matter of fact, these evidently provide obscure and distraction for artists, who may consider more about the cash not about the brush. In long term, the funding policy might relatively destroy the spectacle of arts.  In summary, the supporting strategy of government assuredly helps some arts get rid of trouble and turn into up-to-date novelties to some extent. Nevertheless, the drawback of the policy unfortunately results in the loss of integrity of arts. In my opinion, the advantage and flaw depends on the attitude of artists given by the fund of government, they should regard the assistance as help rather than dependence so that they could guard their enterprise and enjoy themselves simultaneously.
