Penny's portfolio: THE EXHIBITION IN NANJING MUSEUM

Sherry and I went to an exhibition at Nanjing Museum on March 14th. We arrived at museum at 2 o'clock. The exhibition shows Chinese culture in the past. There are a lot of interesting things be shown. I am proud of my ancestors after I saw the exhibition. Everything is miracle.

The first artwork of my favorite is carving jade picture. Carving jade picture is the process of making jade. The first step is to pick up jade from the river or the stream. The second step is to cut some useless part of the jade. The third step is to cut a big jade to small pieces. The fourth step is to shape the jade. After polishing the jade, the jade can be sold.

I also like the artwork called Kwan-yin. The museum makes a beauty of distance. We cannot touch the artwork. This artwork was 2 meters away from us. We just can see the artwork from a special glass.I was shook by its beauty.

The artwork called Screen in Gold Lacquer was made in Qing Dynasty. It was made by people but not machine. It shows many details about rich people’s life. I believe the artist used many years to finish this artwork. The cutting skill is vivid. It shows at least 11 people. Each person has different appearances. The trees and leaves are around them. There also have three gloriettes and rocks. All the detials make the artwork wonderful.

After saw the exhibition in Nanjing Museum, I find that artists use their artwork to show their world. Art is fantastic.
