6. Why do many people enjoy painting as a hobby?
Painting must be relaxing, I guess. It could be a good way for a person to forget about his or
her problems. It's a quiet activity for people to unwind, and use their creativity at the same time.
7. Should governments spend money on providing art in public places?
Yes, definitely! Art can embellish (= decorate) our surroundings. And it is believed that people
who live in a beautiful environment are more likely to be kind, polite, and patient.

A Work of Art You Have Seen or Heard about
Tell me about a work of art you have seen or heard about.
You should say:
what the work of art is
where it is and where you saw it
whether you are generally interested in works of art
and explain what particularly interests you about this work of art.
• Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa: most famous painting ever
• Da Vinci’s work +background to the painting
• The enigmatic smile
• It was stolen for patriotic reasons.
• Future: I hope to get to see it in Paris someday.
I will attempt to describe Leonardo Da Vinci's famous Mona Lisa. It is without a doubt the most
prestigious painting in the world, and everyone can easily recognize the portrait.
This masterpiece was painted in the 16th century, during the Italian Renaissance. It is an oil
painting,  and  it  represents  a  half-length  portrait  of  a  woman.  The  sitter  was  the  wife of  a  rich
merchant  of  Florence.  Her  first  name  was  Lisa,  and  Mona  is  a  contraction  of  ma Donna,  which
means "my lady" in Italian. They say that Da Vinci worked on the portrait for3 years, and then put
it away for a couple of years before finishing it right before his death.
The amazing amount of time he spent on the painting explains why there are so many details to
her facial expression. Everyone knows that Mona Lisa displays an enigmatic smile. Her eyes are
also quite stunning. I have heard people say that they seem to follow you wherever you are standing
looking at her. Her face is very bright compared to the dark clothes she's wearing. Da Vinci said that
he wanted to represent eternal femininity (=womanliness). I guess he succeeded, because she has
been one of the most famous women in the world for more than 500 years!
The painting also comes with some amazing stories. I learned that at the beginning of the 20th
century,  the  painting  was  stolen  from  the  Louvre  museum  in  Paris.  It  took  the  police 2  years  to
recover it, although the theft was very simple: an Italian man, who was employed at the museum,
hid it in a broom closet and walked out with the painting under his coat. He was a patriot, and he
thought that the painting should be returned to Italy. Oh yeah, I forgot to say that many people who
have never seen the painting might believe it to be a large frame, but actually it's pretty small in size.
Although I don't know much about art, I truly hope to get a chance to travel to Europe in the
future. I would love to get a chance to visit art museums in Italy and France. The architecture, the
fountains, the statues, the old buildings; it must be breathtaking. I will also definitely stop in Paris
to admire the Mona Lisa. It must be a once-in-a-life-time experience.
Vocabulary
• Contemporary art is very different from what used to be considered art 100 years ago.
• This  kind  of  art  is  very  abstract.  I  find  it  very  hard  to understand  what  the  painters  want  to
express.
• I love the way the artist uses perspective in this painting. It really seems to give some depth to
the painting. It's a great illusion.
