ReadingA review

1 Read the reviews of street artists and match the photos (A and B) to two of the reviews (1–4).A B

2 Scan the text quickly to find the relevant section and answer the questions.1 What does using paper represent for one artist?

2 Whose art isn’t 3-D, although it looks otherwise?

3 Why does one artist paint portraits of people?

4 Who uses an animal to make people feel good?

3 EXAM Read the text again. Are the sentences T (true) or F (false)? Provide evidence from the text.1 One of the pieces of artwork that Michelle

likes best was created by Mademoiselle Maurice with help from other people. T / F

2 Mademoiselle Maurice’s works usually include figures of people. T / F

3 The artist Pez started his work in the place where he grew up. T / F

4 Pez’s work makes Daniel feel happy. T / F5 The artist DALeast’s work is usually about people. T / F6 DALeast’s work lacks something that would

make it really interesting for Sandra. T / F7 The most incredible thing for Silvie about

Christian Guémy’s work is the fact that he uses stencils to do his portraits. T / F

Words in context

4 EXAM Find words and phrases in the text that for the definitions (a–e).a used to describe something that you admire because it

is very good is large or shows great skill (paragraph 1)

b to look at someone or something to see whether you like them (paragraph 2)

c be composed of smaller things that are combined to form something larger (paragraph 3)

d unusual in a way that surprises or impresses you (paragraph 4)

1 The young French artist Mademoiselle Maurice spent a year in Japan, where she became fascinated by origami (folding paper to create shapes). For her, origami came to symbolise hope, love and peace. Afterwards, wanting to transmit this message, she started using folded paper to create 3-D street art. My two favourite works were created using 30,000 pieces of origami folded by hundreds of volunteers – that’s impressive! One is a decorated stairway. The other is a laughing person, which is unusual for this artist because most of her works are abstract. – Michelle, 18

2 If you want to see some great street art from Spain, check out the work of Pez. His career began in his hometown of Barcelona, where he painted murals influenced by comics. Pez used to sign his works, but, wanting to spread a positive message, he came up with the idea of a smiling blue fish character that became his signature. His works are simple but stylish and typically have bright colours and, of course, smiles. Pez has had exhibitions worldwide including Venezuela, France and America, and his work has been published online and in several books. Just looking at his paintings makes me cheerful! – Daniel, 16

3 When I look at Chinese-born artist DALeast’s work, I find it totally absorbing. His technique is amazing. His artworks look like they’re made up of pieces of metal which form incredible shapes – usually animals such as deer, birds or dragons – but in fact he uses paint to create the illusion of 3-D sculptures. Each artwork looks like a solid thing that you could touch and communicates an energy and sense of movement that really has an impact. That’s what I love about it. – Sandra, 16

4 For me, Christian Guémy, known as C215, is a remarkable artist. For years, he’s been using stencils to create portraits of people such as refugees, old people and the homeless. His idea is to draw attention to them and to social problems. What I find most amazing about his work is the expression in each person’s eyes. It really makes you think about the people and what they might be feeling or may have experienced. He’s popular internationally and he’s created works not just in his native country of France, but also in many others, including Morocco, Brazil and India. – Silvie, 17

Words in context

d unusual in a way that surprises or impresses you (paragraph 4)

1 The young French artist Mademoiselle Maurice spent a year in Japan, where she became fascinated by origami (folding paper to create shapes). For her, origami came to symbolise hope, love and peace. Afterwards, wanting to transmit this message, she started using folded paper to create 3-D street art. My two favourite works were created using 30,000 pieces of origami folded by hundreds of volunteers – that’s impressive! One is a decorated stairway. The other is a laughing person, which is unusual for this artist because most of her works are abstract. – Michelle, 18

2 If you want to see some great street art from Spain, check out the work of Pez. His career began in his hometown of Barcelona, where he painted murals influenced by comics. Pez used to sign his works, but, wanting to spread a positive message, he came up with the idea of a smiling blue fish character that became his signature. His works are simple but stylish and typically have bright colours and, of course, smiles. Pez has had exhibitions worldwide including Venezuela, France and America, and his work has been published online and in several books. Just looking at his paintings makes me cheerful! – Daniel, 16

3 When I look at Chinese-born artist DALeast’s work, I find it totally absorbing. His technique is amazing. His artworks look like they’re made up of pieces of metal which form incredible shapes – usually animals such as deer, birds or dragons – but in fact he uses paint to create the illusion of 3-D sculptures. Each artwork looks like a solid thing that you could touch and communicates an energy and sense of movement that really has an impact. That’s what I love about it. – Sandra, 16

4 For me, Christian Guémy, known as C215, is a remarkable artist. For years, he’s been using stencils to create portraits of people such as refugees, old people and the homeless. His idea is to draw attention to them and to social problems. What I find most amazing about his work is the expression in each person’s eyes. It really makes you think about the people and what they might be feeling or may have experienced. He’s popular internationally and he’s created works not just in his native country of France, but also in many others, including Morocco, Brazil and India. – Silvie, 17

Should photography be considered an art form?

Ever since the camera was invented, people have been arguing about whether photos are art or not. However, in my view photography is, without doubt, an art form.

Art is the expression of human creativity to produce works appreciated for their emotional power, beauty or ideas. If that’s the case, and we accept that the world’s great photographers create photos that make us think and, as a result, look at the world differently, we should therefore accept photography as art.

On the other hand, some people claim that photography is not art due to the fact that it is merely a mechanical recording of images, but the fact is that amazing photos have to be composed and technically perfect so that the photo captures what the photographer wants to communicate.

To sum up, I believe that we can appreciate and be affected by wonderful photos just as much as any other art. Furthermore, photography is about the photographer’s artistic ‘vision’, not only the technology used to create it.
