托福TPO/Official 69 Lec2听力原文What does the professor strongly encourage his students to do in order to become better artists? Click on 3 answers【新东方在线】

Narrator: Listen to part of a lecture in an art class.

教授：你们的下一个作业是画你们周围的环境。

Professor: OK. Your next assignment will be to draw your surroundings.

但在你们都出去找东西画之前，在我解释为什么今天让你们带相机之前，我们先来谈谈你们在艺术作品中是如何传达信息的。

But before you all go out to find something to draw, before I explain why I asked you to bring in cameras today, let's talk about how you're communicating in your artwork.

如果你能让观众正确地回应，让他们感受到并思考，那么你就知道你在沟通。

You know you're communicating if you're getting viewers to respond right, making them feel and think.

难道你的目标不是让观众有所反应吗？

I mean, isn't that your goal to get your audience to respond?

那么，人们在艺术作品中回应的是什么呢？

So, then what do people respond to in a work of art?

在我看来，这似乎是非常个人化的，艺术家表达了他们深切关心的东西。

It seems to me, it’s usually, well, it's something really personal and artist has expressed something the artist cares about deeply.

如果你真的关心，比如说，一个地方或一个想法，很有可能你也能让别人也真正关心它。

If you really care about, say, a place or an idea, chances are that you can make others really care about it too. 

你创作的艺术需要传达一种情感的概念。

So to generate a reaction, the art you create needs to communicate a concept of feeling.

换句话说，创作出能揭示你自己经历的艺术作品。

In other words, create art that reveals your own experience.

例如，我画了一幅我儿子的画。

在那张照片中，我想捕捉我儿子的反应。

And in that picture, I wanted to capture my son's reaction.

不完全是恐惧，而是他们彼此之间的不适。

Not fear, exactly, but their discomfort with each other.

他们应该逃跑吗？ 打架？ 交朋友？

我想让这幅画捕捉到那个关键时刻，你不知道他们接下来会做什么。

I wanted the drawing to capture that pivotal moment when you don't know what they'll do next.

当那幅画在画廊展出时，人们对它发表了各种评论。

When that drawing has been shown in galleries, people have made all sorts of comments on it.

它真的似乎能与他们产生共鸣。

所以，一件强有力的艺术作品会引起强烈的观众反应，而要创作出一件强有力的艺术作品，你必须展示世界是如何影响你的。

So, a strong work of art creates a strong viewer response, and to create a powerful work of art, you have to show how the world affects you.

所以，你需要扩展你的观察能力，真正去看周围的环境。

So, you need to expand your powers of observation to really look at your surroundings.

我的意思是，游客只是观察，但他们没有或可能没有情感上的参与。

What I mean by that is tourists observe, but they have or may have no emotional involvement.

强大的艺术家观察他们的周围环境，并在其中找到一些个人的东西。

Strong artists look at their surroundings and find something personal there.

每天早上醒来走出家门，有些人认为这只是老一套。

Like, every day when you wake up and step outside, some people think it's just the same old thing.

但如果你真的留心观察，你会看到一些特别的东西，一些引人入胜的东西。

But if you're really paying attention, you'll see something special, something intriguing.

当然，如果成为一名优秀的艺术家意味着表达你自己的观点，你自己的观点，那就意味着你必须了解自己是谁，不了解自己会让人对你的艺术产生误解。

Of course, if being a strong artist means expressing your own views, your own perspective, that means that you have to know something about who you are, failing to know yourself that invites misconceptions about your art.

观众会很难分辨出你艺术作品中的哪一部分反映了你自己，哪一部分反映了他人的经历或想法，这就引出了一个问题。

Viewers will have trouble identifying what part of your art reflect you and what reflects the experiences, or, the ideas of other people, which leads me to a problem.

当我告诉学生们出去画他们周围的环境时，他们往往想用最新的新技术来画画。

When I tell students to go out and draw their surroundings, they tend to want to use the latest new technique to draw.

嗯，其他人画画的方式，无论什么是最流行的风格，或者他们试图模仿著名艺术家的风格，或者我经常看到这种情况。他们试图模仿我的风格，因为我是老师。

Well, the way everyone else is drawing, whatever is the most popular style, or they try to copy the style of a famous artist or I see this a lot.They try to copy my style because I'm the teacher.

我实际上是建议，让我更明确地说。

I'm suggesting actually, let me put this more emphatically.

你需要花时间去探索和理解你自己的世界观。

You need to spend time exploring understanding your own view of the world.

一旦你这样做了，个人风格自然会形成。

Once you do, a personal style will naturally develop.

我不是说要成为一个好的艺术家就不应该学习其他艺术家的作品，或者不能通过上课来提高你的技巧。

I'm not saying that to become a good artist that you shouldn't learn about the work of other artists, or that you can't improve your technique by taking classes.

你应该做这两件事，但坦率地说，最重要的是，如果你真的想在艺术中传达什么，你必须了解自己以及你如何对周围的世界做出反应。

You should do both of those things, but frankly, more than anything else, if you're really gonna communicate anything in your art, you have to know yourself and how you respond to the world around you.

但别再说教了，我相信你们在这门课上已经知道我对成为艺术家所需的东西有多么热情。

But enough lecturing, I'm sure you've already learned in this class that I can get pretty passionate about what it takes to be an artist.

无论如何，我们来谈谈今天的作业吧。

Anyway, let's talk about today's assignment.

这是一种非常具体的技巧，可以帮助你更好地意识到周围的环境。

It's a very concrete technique, that will help you become more aware of your surroundings.

你知道，照片是产生绘画灵感的好方法。

You know, photographs are a great way to generate ideas for a drawing.

你拍摄周围的环境、人物、物体，以及像学校操场上踢足球的孩子们或公园里孤独的长椅这样的场景。

You take photos of your surroundings, people, objects, scenes like children playing soccer in a school yard or a lonely bench in a park.

然后，当你审视你的照片时，你寻找那些触发了你最初拍照的个人情感的元素。

Then as you examine your photos, you look for the elements that triggered those personal feelings that made you take the picture in the first place.

你可以将这些特征提取出来，用于创作一幅反映你个人艺术视野的画作。

You can take those features and use them in a drawing that reflects your personal artistic vision.

顺便说一下，不要完全照搬那些元素，我鼓励你用自己的方式和适合你的风格来绘制它们。

By the way, instead of copying those elements exactly, I encourage you to draw them your own way in the style that works for you.

这是从你独特的视角解读你周围的世界。

It's about interpreting the world around you from your unique perspective.

所以，拿起你的相机，我们出发吧。
