1、1Unit 1 Art教材分析I教学内容分析本单元的中心话题是西方绘画艺术的历史、中西方各种艺术形式与风格，各时代的著名画家以及他们的作品。听说读写等语言知识和语言技能主要围绕“绘画艺术”这一主题设计的。本单元引导学生讨论这些问题，目的在于让他们了解绘画艺术及其各个历史发展时期的不同风格，培养他们对艺术的兴趣。Warming up 部分共有四个问题，引导学生讨论本单元出现的所有绘画，包括宗教绘画、文艺复兴时期的绘画、印象派风景画和抽象画等。通过为教室选张贴画、为家居选布置画、谈个人对绘画等艺术的喜好等活动，让学生交流对绘画等艺术形式的认识，并在此过程中学习本单元即将出现的生词。Pre-read
2、ing 部分有三个问题，引导学生回顾在画廊或书本上见过的绘画。尤其要学生回顾所见的西洋绘画和著名的画家，这和“热身”部分的讨论有机地联系起来，帮助学生认识国画和西洋画的不同特征、代表性作品及画家。Reading 部分主要介绍西方绘画史。文章开头阐述导致艺术发展的因素：生活方式和人们的信仰，并由此得出结论：西方艺术不断变化发展，而中国艺术相对保持稳定。随后文章从四个方面介绍了主要的西方艺术绘画流派。中世纪的绘画主题主要与宗教有关，这个时期的作品充满了宗教符号，表达作者对上帝的崇敬和热爱。直到 13 世纪，意大利画家乔托（Giotto）才开始描绘现实的宗教活动。文艺复兴时，人们的思想和价值观发生了
3、根本性的变化，绘画主题从宗教转向人与自然，绘画手法更为现实。意大利画家马萨乔（Masaccio）采用透视法绘画，开创了现实主义绘画的新纪元。19 世纪晚期，欧洲的工业化导致了巨大的社会变革，也使绘画风格产生了变化。在法国的巴黎出现了印象派艺术画家，他们走出家门，捕捉瞬间作用于物体的光线。印象派绘画一段时间引起了争议，但如今被公认为现代艺术的开端。无论是抽象画还是现实画，都得益于印象派艺术的启发。阅读文章中有四幅图，分别为：1.亚博拉罕接待天使（大圣母教堂侧壁）432440 中世纪 2.巴 卡斯蒂利昂伯爵像（拉斐尔）1515 文艺复兴 3. 日出（莫奈）1872-1873印象主义 4.海边人物形

5、“思维图”后写句子或短文。语法部分学习虚拟语气。练习 1 通过“热身”中的两个问句，让学生认识虚拟语气，要求学生从阅读课文中找出含有虚拟语气的句子。 练习 2 要求学生区分虚拟条件句与表示真实情况的条件句。练习 32让学生用所给动词的正确形式填空，进一步理解和巩固虚拟语气的用法。练习 4 要求学生用虚拟语气做游戏。Using language 部分综合训练听说读写能力。阅读部分综合介绍了曼哈顿的主要艺术画廊。纽约富翁弗里克（Henry Clay Frick）去世后，给美国人留下了房屋、家具以及艺术收藏品，许多艺术爱好者把弗里克收藏馆（The Frick Collecting）视为最好的小型艺术
6、画廊；古根海姆博物馆（Guggenheim Museum）珍藏着 5000 件现代油画、雕塑和素描作品。博物馆本身也是世界著名的建筑，走进博物馆，就好像置身于巨大的贝壳之中。 （纽约）大都会博物馆（Metropolitan Museum of Art）珍藏着美国最好的艺术品，它展现给人们的是世界各地 5000 多年的历史。现代艺术博物馆（Museum of Modern Art）收藏着 19世纪晚期到 21 世纪的伟大的艺术作品。惠特尼美国艺术博物馆（Whitney Museum of American Art）与时代同步，展现当代美国绘画和雕塑作品。阅读材料后设置了两个练习：一是在地图上找出
7、各个展览馆的位置；二是根据阅读内容填表格。听说部分与阅读部分密切相关，谈论参观曼哈顿的主要艺术画廊，学习和运用表达“偏爱”的交际用语。写的部分要求学生写封信，就开办艺术画廊谈谈自己的想法。 Summing up 部分要求学生就西方艺术、艺术画廊、词语和结构等方面进行自我评价，判定是否需要进一步巩固练习。Learning tip 部分就如何把握文章的主题思想提出建议：1 阅读标题和副标题；2 阅读图片和图表；3 阅读第一段或各段的第一句；4 阅读结论；5 思考写作意图。II本单元涉及的要点是： 简要了解西方和中国绘画艺术的历史和风格，各时代的著名画家以及他们的作品。 学习有关绘画艺术的词汇。 学
