What two keys to using the impasto technique does the professor talk about? Click on 2 answers.
Listen to part of a lecture in a Studio Art class.
Professor: Today we’re going to continue with oil painting, but in different styles you haven’t experienced. From now on, we’re going to learn about several different techniques. Let’s begin with impasto.
    Basically, impasto is a thick application of pigment that makes no attempt to look smooth. Instead, brush and palette knife marks are visible on the finished painting. In general, when you work with oil, what you do is just apply one color over another and let the paint squish onto the canvas. And the painting surface remains quite flat. With impasto however, it mostly involves loading up your brush or painter’s knife with more paint than you’d normally need. Then the three-dimensional paint appears to be coming out of the canvas. It’s sort of like... icing that covers a cake. Actually, when I saw a series of paintings done this way, they were so convincing they looked good enough to eat.
    Anyway, one purpose of impasto is to make a light reflection. Since the 15th century, impasto has initially been used. Artists controlled the play of light creating a lot of visual space. The shadows underneath the paint showed folds in clothes and jewels their subjects wore. Impasto really highlighted these features. But later, another effect of impasto was its ability to convey movement in the painting. And when you work with the technique, you should keep this in mind that the thicker the paint is, the more it gives physical movement. Let me raise Van Gogh as an example.
    Van Gogh, one of the post-impressionists during the 19th century, first used impasto for its expressive qualities. Look up at the screen here, and notice how the cypress trees and valleys are depicted by the thick texture. In this way, Van Gogh gave weight to the movement to his sky and landscape. You can almost feel the breeze on that day. Today’s painters use impasto for a different reason, Most current artists place more emphasis on the painting’s surface, its texture on their art work than the display of colors and lines. Impasto allows them to blend the texture and feeling of an object without illustrating an actual perception of what they represent.
    So, how can you create this texture? It depends on the way you apply the paint on canvas. As I said earlier, instead of "dying" or "scrubbing" the canvas with small amounts of color, just let the paint squish onto the canvas and sit there. You will need to apply a massive amount of paint with any tools you find that gives the texture you want, tools like a brush, a flexible palette knife, or even a toothbrush. After that, you mold or sculpt the paint with short brushstrokes, faster. You should be spontaneous, and dynamic just like Van Gogh.

选项 A、Applying paint to a canvas and then scrubbing it into the canvas
B、Manipulating the paint with quick movements
C、Applying a large amount of paint to a canvas
D、Pressing one layer of paint firmly into a canvas, then spreading more paint over the bottom layer
E、Paint over bottom layer

答案B,C

解析 细节题。做题线索为“how can you create this texture?”在讲座的结尾部分,教授采用自问自答的方式,对impasto的作画方式进行具体说明:let the paint squish onto the canvas and sit there.You will need to apply a massive amount of paint…即首先使用大量颜料堆砌在画布上;After that,you mold or sculpt the paint with short brushstrokes,faster.即然后使用小的笔触快速塑造或雕刻。因此B和C选项与原文一致,是正确答案。根据教授的介绍“scrubbing”the canvas with small amounts of color符合一般油画的特点,因此A选项不正确。此外,颜料的使用上是直接挤压颜料在画布上,教授未提到在bottom layer上作画,因此D选项和E选项不正确。
