I seldom have chance to visit museum, yet this time I would gain such a chance unexpectedly. I feel quite pleasant surprised about that. On Thursday,Dec.4th,by occupaying the art classes, our class started our mysterious excursion towards the art gallery of Nanjing University, and all the artwork are made by artist –Wu weishan. After this visit, I could not help praising it. Sculpture is an effective arts that causes us curiosity and admiration.
As soon as we stepped into such construction which appears a splendid hallway, all of us was almost astonished and shocked by rows of unmoving characters standing in front. However, if you stare at them carefully, you will find them just status. In that case, the art is showing as a form of 3D. It display the portraiture of various characters which make the gallery like a curiosa storehouse. All the exhibits have a same characteristic- elaborate and full of soul, without a little roughness as if it is a figure in the real world.
Among so many excellent artworks, the one called “Albert Einstein” attracted me a lot. I could not take my eyes off its reality and vividness. It was sculptured in 1999 and the artist used shapes of ellipse (the figure’s face)and some irregular figure (messy hair). Einstein’s brows and wrinkles are curve lines, yet his mouth is made up of straight line. When I touched it, I felt the sandy texture and a little coarse, but looks refined so much. You also can found that he is now considering about something from the expression on his face.
The artwork makes me feel much artistic due to its realistic tracing. It is hard to imagine how great effort Mr.Wu weishan has put in and how tough task he attempted to challenge. Then it also reminds me of famous scientists in the past – Galileo, Newton, and Edison. Relating to the world, I recall the great success Einstein achieved during his lifetime, and that verifies he is such a diligent person who delves into science area and devote for his career. Overall, the artist tends to show a mixture of animation and natural beauty.
I do like the artwork because they are filled with perception and make me come up with fresh
and deep thoughts. The specific reasons make me feel that way is the artist takes the notice of the reality of the sculpture, and each line is carved intensively. He combined the figure and nature together as well so that we could feel it spirited, not just a dead body. Besides the appearance, Mr. Wu also aims to capture the heart of figure. As we know, Einstein is a provident one who is known for his intelligence and contribution to human. We were able to grab such mettle through gazing his fixed eyes. I am sure that other ones like such sculpture both traditional and contemporary.

In conclusion, this activity is really meaningful. Through the exhibition, I have learnt to appreciate other’s fruits of labor and it helps us strengthen belief. I think we are supposed to have a good attitude in study like Wu weishan who is determinated on the work.
