Watch an exhibition at a gallery







Last Saturday afternoon, 10—F Kevin, Jack, Wynn, Frank huang and I vested a gallery in Confucius Temple pinjiangfu road. We saw many Impressionism pictures there.
Impressionism was a 19th-century
art movement that began as a loose association of Paris-based artists exhibiting their art publicly in the 1860s. The name of the movement is derived from the title of a Claude Monet work, Impression, Sunrise (Impression, soleil levant), which provoked the critic Louis Leroy to coin the term in a satiric review published in Le Charivari.
Characteristics of Impressionist paintings include visible brush strokes, open
composition, emphasis on light in its changing qualities (often accentuating the effects of the passage of time), and ordinary subject matter, the inclusion of movement as a crucial element of human perception and experience, and unusual visual angles.
The emergence of Impressionism in the
visual arts was soon followed by analogous movements in other media which became known as Impressionist music and Impressionist literature.
Impressionism also describes art created in this style, but outside of the late 19th century time period.
In that day many people visited there to buy some pictures drawn by some unknown artists. Some of the pictures are copy form famous artist and some of them are original.
I like these pictures very much and I can tell Ms.Hadley if it is necessary.

Eat at western restaurant




Last Saturday, 10—F Jack, Wynn, Kevin and I went to a western restaurant at 1912 block. It is called Knights of Round. We meet there at about 12 o’clock. But we had to wait for a long time because it is a famous restaurant and a lot of people stand in a line there. The only things we can do are sitting outside and talk about my birthday and what would we eat that night.
Finally at 12.15, we got into the restaurant and had a seat. The seats are very tall and it is just like knights all around a big round table. So I think this is the reason why this restaurant is called Knights of Round.
Everyone ordered a set meal and every set meal has a soup, a salad, a beefsteak, a cup of drank and a dessert. Before the meal we got for cups of cocktail for free. It is called aperitif. The four cups were inside a big bottle with carbon dioxide ice in it. The aperitif was very nice. The Cream of Corn Soup is wonderful too. But the Caesar Salad is so-so. Despite of this my favorite food was the medium well filet steak. The ice coffee is not so good. The chocolate cake was too sweet.
On all accounts this restaurant is pretty good and I want to eat in there again.
