Nature In Art

        You can see paintings of nature everywhere in the world. Many artists paint and use nature in their work, but the results are very different. Art critic, Liz Searle-Barnes looks at five of them.

        Stanislaw Witkiewicz was born in 1885 in Zakopane. He died in 1939 but you can see his paintings in art galleries in Poland. Many people like Witkiewicz's paintings of people's faces, but I prefer his paintings of nature and landscapes. He painted this one in 1907. It shows the Hinczow Lakes in the Tatra mountains in southern Poland. There are the green fields and the white rocks and I like this painting because the water in the lake is so blue. I want to swim in it.

        In the past, Aboriginal people painted pictures of nature and animals on rocks. In parts of Australia, their Rock Art is 30,000 years old. Nowadays, modern aboriginal artists also paint nature. For example, this colourful painting by Ginger Riley Munduwalawala (1937-2002) shows hills, rivers, birds and kanagroos.

        Ando Hiroshige Japanese art is famous for landscape paintings. You can often see the sea and sky, and the mountains and trees. Ando Hiroshige worked in the nineteenth century and he's one of Japan's most famous artists. He printed and sold thousands of beautiful prints in his lifetime. However, he was poor when he died.

        Damien Hirst is the richest artist in England. He is a painter, but he is more famous for art with different animals (living and dead) including a cow, a sheep and a shark. In one room of a gallery, he put lots of fruit and real butterflies live there. They fly round the heads of the visitors. For some people he is a genius, but other people disagree. Personally, I like his work, but I prefer his early paintings.

        Vincent Van Gogh made eleven paintings of sunflowers. They were also Van Gogh's favourite paintings because he loved the colour yellow. I prefer his other paintings, but many people love his sunflower paintings. They are everywhere. You see them on cards, postcards and T-shirts. Van Gogh died with no money, but in 1987 someone bought the last sunflower painting for $49 million.

In parts of Australia, their Rock Art is 30,000 years old (Paragraph 3).

The All roads film festival

        Every year, National Geographic has a film festival in the USA. It isn't like the Oscars and Bollywood because you don't see lots of famous film stars. The All roads film festival has films by directors and actors from many different countries and cultures. You can see many types of films including comedies, documentaries and animation. Here are some of the films this year.

        The Tundra Book is a documentary by the director Aleksei Vakrushev. It's about the life of the Chukchi people in eastern Russia.

        My Wedding and Other Secrets is a romantic comedy about a Chinese family in New Zealand. Their daughter loves a local man and the problems begin.

        Grandma is a short film by the Lebanese director, Merva Faddoul. It's about a teenage girl called Sarah who has a normal life with her sister and grandma. Then, one day, the family's life changes forever.

It isn't like the Oscars and Bollywood because you don't see lots of famous film stars (Paragraph 1).

Why Haven’t Scientists Invented It Yet?

            Scientists have discovered and invented many things: computers, space travel, mobile communication. But there are a lot of more things they haven’t invented or we don’t use in our everyday life. Are they all impossible or can we have them one day?

1. Invisible objects

            Many scientists have tried to invent invisible objects, but they haven’t done it. One scientist at Tokyo University tested cameras on a coat. The cameras filmed objects behind the coat and showed them on the front of the coat. Unfortunately, the coat wasn’t very comfortable. The car manufacturer Mercedes also tried these cameras with a car. They put the camera on one side of the car and showed the images on the other side. But as you can see in this photo, the wheels aren’t invisible.

2. Flying car

            With all the cars on the road and the problems of traffic, why haven’t flying cars become popular? One reason is because cars are very heavy so they are difficult to fly. There are other problems as well. Cities have roads of cars, but they don’t have runways. And we have so many problems on our normal roads. Do we really want the same problems in the sky?

3. Teleporting

            Teleporting is moving objects and people from one place to another without transportation or walking. Teleporting is a very fast way to travel, but scientists haven’t discovered how to do it. Solid objects are made of atoms and with teleporting you have to move each atom one by one. A human being is made of trillions of atoms, so it’s very difficult and scientists don’t have the answer at the moment.

4. Robot servants

            Actually, scientists have invented robots, so why don’t we all have them? Probably because the technology is very expensive and the robots often break down. But many companies in Japan have made prototype robots for houses. They wash clothes, switch on the TV, turn off the lights and change the music. Many scientists think we can all have a robot servant in our house in about ten years.

Cities have roads of cars, but they don’t have runways. And we have so many problems on our normal roads (Paragraph 3).
