指导
本题中给出了三个主体(Artist、critic、society)这三个主体彼此之间是独立的,而在讨论形成lasting value的时候三个主体之间就建立起了联系。对于本题,最常见入手的点是“artist通过critic对society产生的作用”和“critic通过artist对society产生的作用”,同时也可尝试去描述“artist和society的相互作用”、“critic和society的相互作用”。即,文章的落脚点始终都应当定位在society获得了什么样的作用,从而产生了什么样的结果,也就是something of lasting value。而且在说两个主体(artist和critic)谁才是真正给了something of lasting value的时候,通过对比要比单独阐述某一方的价值更能展现题目的关注点。题目审题的关键还有在于如何定位something of lasting value,在有限的篇幅中如果想将文章写得清清楚楚明明白白,就尽量要落到实处,而不是去论述一个很空很虚幻的概念。Society是一个很复杂的集合,而什么value会被society认可,什么value又具有lasting的意义,这些在习作是经常被忽略的。
1. 请举例说出你印象里的经典艺术作品。这些艺术作品给你带来了什么样的感受和启迪?是否存在价值?如果有,是哪些价值?这些价值在社会大众的眼中是怎样的?
回答:
罗中立的我的父亲,中国农民的经典形象,在人们心中定格了一个真正饱经沧桑贫苦农民的形象。这件作品使观众感到极大的震撼,它并不在于技法的高超和形象的逼真,而在于它已经超出了艺术的真实,使人看到了真正的现实。它象征着落后与贫困,象征着一种忍辱负重的精神,也成为中国人在精神上的自我写照。

作文
The speaker asserts the It is the artist, not the critic who gives society something of lasting value. I fundamentally support this notion. After all, the lasting value is created by artist not the critic. Whereas, the critic has a significant means to the artist. We cannot simply deny their work which is a link for the field of arts.
Artist is the people who convey the thought to the public base on the vision and hearing. If we say the scientist promote the physical world forward, well the artist is the people who promote the mental world progress. Their work may be defined as a way of amusement. Actually, such amusement cannot be equated with the shallow entertainment which the main target is to relax. The art on the other hand is called an elegant amusement which the main point aims to raise the level of people’s spirit and give the value to the public. Trough the painting "father", Chinese people realize the factual image of an ordinary peasant arousing their respect to the people who are live in the bottom level of the society. Artist evoking the previous experience of the public let people reconsider their own value system.
For an artist, the critic is just like a bridge connects the art and the populace. Without any indication, people are hard to have a deep realization of the art-work. In the meantime, the work of artist is lack an access to the market. Without recommendation of the critic, the painting "father" had no chance to exhibit in front of the public. Trough the comment of the critic, people avoid being bewildered by the art-work. The analysis of the critic elucidate the fact that art-work is not just a visual or arduous enjoy but represent a kind of value and the artist’s ideal.
The relationship between the artist and critic is just like a tree and the leaves. Without leaves, although we can still differentiate the tree with other object, however it's hard for us to judge the category. When the summer is coming, the leaves grow on the trees, people is easy to figure out what kind of tree it is. The critic is just like leaves, uncovering the mysterious mask of the art-work exposing the actual appearance to the people.
In the final analyze, it's the work of artist who convey the value to the public. However without the effort of the critic, the value will be failed to transmit in the midway. The work of the critic is essential for any artist. Critic enacts a crucial role for the communication between the public and art-work.
