26、 year by Neil Curtis. Neil, tell us all about it. Neil: Well, Diane, this looks like being the biggest art sale yet, and the best thing about it is that the money raised will all go to charity. So what you probably want to know first is where it is. Well, the pictures will be on view all this week,
27、most of them at the Star Gallery in the shopping mall, but we have so many pictures this year that were also showing some in the cafe next door, so do drop in and see them any day between 9.00 and 5.00.

30、et me tell you a bit about some of the artists who have kindly agreed to donate their pictures to the Charity Art Sale. One of them is Don Studley, who has a special interest in the art sale because his five-year-old daughter was born with a serious back problem. After an operation earlier this year
31、, shes now doing fine, but Don says he wants to offer something to help other less fortunate children. Don is totally self taught, and says hes passionate about painting. His paintings depict some of our New Zealand birds in their natural habitats. One relative newcomer to New Zealand is James Chang
32、, who came here from Taiwan nine years ago, at the age of 56. Mr. Chang had 13 exhibitions in Taiwan before he came to live here in Christchurch so hes a well-established artist and art has been a lifelong passion for him.

33、th strong colour schemes, youll love them. Natalie Stevens was born in New Zealand, but has exhibited in China, Australia and Spain. As well as being an artist, shes a website designer.

How are you doing? I heard you were sick. Joey: Oh, hi, Olivia. Yeah, I had a virus last week, and
38、I missed a whole pile of lectures, like the first one on the Great Books in Literature, where Dr. Castle gave us ail the information about the semester project. Olivia: I can give you copies of the handouts, Ive got them right here. Joey: Thats OK. I already collected the handouts but Im not very cl
39、ear about all the details. I know we each have to choose an individual author. I think Im going to do Carlos Castenada. Im really interested in South American literature. Olivia: Have you checked hes on the list that Dr. Castle gave us? We cant just choose anyone. Joey: Yeah, I checked, its OK. Who
40、did you choose? Olivia: Well, I was thinking of choosing Ernest Hemingway, but then I thought no, Ill do a British author not an American one, so I chose Emily Bronte. Joey: OK. and first of all it says we have to read a biography of our author I guess its OK if we just look up information about him
41、 on the Internet? Olivia: No, its got to be a full-length book. I think the minimum lengths 250 pages. Theres a list of biographies, didnt you get that? Joey: Oh right. I didnt realise we had to stick with that. So what do we have to do when weve read the biography? Olivia: Well, then we have to cho
42、ose one work by the writer. Again its got to be something quite long, we cant just read a short story. Joey: But I guess a collection of short stories would be OK? Olivia: Yes, or even a collection of poems, they said, but I think most people are doing novels. Im going to do Wuthering Heights, Ive r
43、ead it before, but I really want to read it again now Ive found out more about the writer. Joey: And then the video. we have to make a short video about our author and about the book. How long has it got to be? Olivia: A minute. Joey: What? Like, sixty seconds? And we gotta give all the important in
44、formation about their life and the book we choose. Olivia: Well you cant do everything. I wrote it down somewhere. yes, Dr. Castle said we had to find or write a short passage that helps to explain the authors passion for writing, why theyre a writer. So. we can back this up with reference to import
45、ant events in the writers life if theyre relevant but its up to us really. The videos meant to portray the essence of the writers life and the piece of writing we choose. Joey: So when we read the biography, we have to think about what kind of person our writer is. Olivia: Yes. and the historical co
46、ntext and so on. So for my writer, Emily Bronte, the biography gave a really strong impression of the place where she lived and the countryside around. Joey: Right, Im beginning to get the idea. Joey: Er. can I check the other requirements with you? Olivia: Sure. Joey: The handout said after wed rea
47、d the biography, we had to read the work wed chosen by our author and choose a passage thats typical in some way. that typifies the authors interests and style. Olivia: Yes, but at the same time it has to relate to the biographical extract you choose. Theres got to be some sort of theme linking them
48、. Joey: OK, Im with you. Olivia: And then you have to think about the video. Joey: So are we meant to dramatise the scene we choose? Olivia: I guess we could, but theres not a lot of time for that. I think its more how we can use things like sound effects to create the atmosphere. the feeling we want. Joey: And presumably visuals as well? Olivia: Yeah, of course I mean, I suppose thats the whole point of making a video but whatever we use has to be historically in keeping with the author. We can use things like digital image processing to do it all.
