PAUL C?ZANNE (1839-1906) is an important figure in the progressof modern European painting. In his dedicated concern with form andstructure, he stands apart from the mainstream of Impressionistpainting, extending its range into a new art of visualanalysis. Cézanne, sensitive and shy, shunned the Parisian café society ofhis fellow artists, preferring to live and work alone in his nativeProvence which provided the inspiration for so many of hispaintings. Less immediately appealing to a wider audience than, forexample, Monet and Degas, Cézanne is nonetheless of immenseimportance through the influence he exerted on so many of theartists who followed him, such as Picasso and Matisse. Blessed with financial independence through the efforts of hisbanker father, he fortunately enjoyed a freedom to pursue his artwithout the demands of making a living felt by so many of hisfellow artists.

Villanueva was born in London, he grew up and was educated inParis at the Ecole des Beaux Arts and was acquainted with thecontemporary artists of the Parisian Avant-garde. In 1929 hefounded his own architectural office in Caracas, where he designedand realised many large buildings including the university campusin Caracas which consists of approximately 100 buildings; thelecture theatre with its curved white ceiling from which largecolored tiles from Calder are suspended is particularly remarkable.In addition he designed the Olympic stadium and housing estates.Villanueva's architecture combines the radical style of Modernismwith a dynamic and personal use of color and form. Concrete is muchin evidence in his work and he lays great value on allowing thestructural elements to become visible in expressive forms.

《中国美术院校：潘思同水彩画直观选》所介绍的是潘思同20世纪五、六十年代在浙江美术学院水彩画教学中使用的部分直观。所谓直观就是上课时的图示和示范作品。由于上课的教学时间有限，不可能在课堂里做大量示范，所以在每堂课上课之前，作为备课，潘思同都要针对一、二个问题，画一些直观，上面配备必要的文字说明，一方面为了节省时间，另一方面也为了取得视觉效果。在直观中，有些图本身就是独立的作品，因此，下课后学生常常争先恐后地拿去观摩、临摹。对这些直观，学生反应很好，有些青年教师也常借去作为参考。当时许多同行建议让这些印刷出版，但由于当时彩色印刷费用高昂，会大大提高书价，而且印刷质量也大有问题，如果采用黑白图版则大大削弱的直观效果，因而始终未能出版面世1993年，“潘思同水彩遗作展”在新加坡展出，他的

音乐欣赏的首要目的是让学生能真正的欣赏音乐。欣赏音乐的前提是肯定音乐是美的东西，是值得人们去欣赏，而且由此而获益的。既然音乐是美的，那么这个课程首先就是对美的享受和甄别，是对学生的听觉审美的满足。起码在感性层面会让学生带来欣赏的快乐，让他真切体会音乐的美之所在。使音乐的本质揭示和人的主体性接受相吻合，只有这一目的得以体现，才可能兼及其余。
