求教：自觉得提纲的第三个意群，立意和论述方向不好，希望得到指点，怎样立论能更好些？

55 In order for any work of art—for example, a film, a novel, a poem, or a song—to have merit, it must be understandable to most people.

Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the statement and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider ways in which the statement might or might not hold true and explain how these considerations shape your position.

（+）从艺术的启迪大众的作用上来说，越容易被人接收，它的影响力就会越大。
（-）但是，艺术的自身性质以及艺术家对世界的独特感知使得很多极其伟大的艺术作品并不能被大众接收，但这并不能否认其里程碑式的地位。
（-）艺术应该按照自身的发展规律，自然发展，我们不应苛求艺术的易理解性。
For all great art masterpieces share two kinds of merit, one is edifying and enlighening the mass, the other one is leading character, besides expressing the composer’s emotion or some idea like all common art compositions. In the issue, the speaker seems to only emphasize the former one, which results in the argument that any work of art will have merit only after being understandable to most people. Thus, to some degree I agree with the speaker, but when considering the topic roundly, that is far from the truth.


As what said above, the assertion has its reason because art has the function to edify the mass. Always in daily life, mass enjoy themselves and enlighten themselves by appreciating masterpieces like music, novels, poets. For example, after listening the music< the Ode to Joy> of Beethoven, people can always, for a moment, forget their vexation in daily triffles and troubles, enjoying the emotional pleasure in the world. Thinking about more things except for the worries, after that they can suddenly recognize the happiness and pleasant aspect of life. Maybe the troubles before are not big cases at all. As the similar response coming from appreciating the images of Virgin Mary painted by Raphel. The astounting feeling can always be gained while walking around in a church in Fluolunsa of Italy or when wathing some documentaries about the masterpieces. Common people can always get a impression of hallow and pury, quite detached from the worldly and secular life. Both these two cases can suggest the super edifing effect coming from the art. And another huge sharing point of them is that they can be enjoyed and understood by most people in that the special atmosphere are so rich and deep. It is because their spirit can be mastered by their audiances at first appriation easily that the edifying function can be conducted.


However, we cannot hastily to conclude that art masterpiece have no merit without being understood and accepted by most people, after all, art are born always from special expression of the producers' extra emotion. And the emotion cannot always be shared by most people. As we all know, art have leading characters to some extent because the great artists are always more sensitive than common people, resulting that in their pieces, novel, music, or architects, some arcane elements are existed. Only in that way some artist works have presedent role in the art history. A compelling example coming to my mind is the <Remembrance of past things> of Proust. How many people have read it through? Even literature major reserchers always stop reading in the pause. However nobody can gainsay its extrordinary role in the stream of consciousness. But for common readers, without sharing some occations and similar environment with the writer by chance, few can understand the real merit in it. Thus we can see that merit of art works cannot only be estimited by the respondence or extant accepttance by the mass.


All in all, there is no doubt that a good art piece which is easily understood can be extanted more smoothly and influence more people. But we cannot demand all great works of art have outstanding connotation, as well as acceptable forms because no real masters will try delibrately to please the mass. Let art develop according to its natural law in ordinary conditions, which can be the best environment for real art.


自省：第二段的例子说得过多，应该把后面论述部分扩充，突出只有被更多的人接受，艺术的启迪作用才会被发挥出来。由于前面第一个意群写多了，造成文章结构失衡。。。而且只能把第三个意群和结尾捏在一起了。

竹林中人

第一段第一句话感觉for用的很别扭阿，后面又有一个besides
至于你提到的问题，我觉得你要尽快收缩自己的思维，写作文的时候，发散的太广收不回来就不好控制文章的结构和内容了

鸡蛋里挑骨头了我，楼主有几个小失误
佛罗伦萨：florence
pury这个地方我想楼主想要表达purify的意思吧
some arcane elements are existed，这个语病较为明显了
有关艺术的话题感觉是很有难度的，楼主加油
