Welcome to IELTS Dragon. Today, let's answer the recent IELTS Speaking Part 1 topic about
0:11
art. In this video lesson, I will answer the 4 questions about art that are asked in the
0:17
actual IELTS Speaking exam. Not only that, I'll give ideas on the different kinds of
0:22
art since most students have limited idea on what art is about. What they have in mind
0:28
is mostly painting and sculpture. However, art is not just about painting and sculpture
0:36
In this video lesson, I'll give you more ideas about visual arts. And I'll talk about the
0:41
different kinds of visual arts so that you will have enough knowledge about this topic
0:46
which will surely help you express your answers better. But before that, if you are new to this channel and if you haven't subscribed yet, I humbly

1:00
much! Now, let's get started! First question. Do you like art? Yes, I do. I love visual arts, especially fine arts and
1:16
decorative arts. Well, I've collected some pieces of abstract art since I mesmerized
1:21
by the beauty of it. It does fire my imagination, interpreting the meaning and comprehending
1:27
the emotion of the artist that is depicted on the masterpiece. I also enjoy keeping some
1:33
ceramics, pottery and mosaic art at home. Alright, here I gave a direct positive answer to the question and cited some examples of
1:45
the arts that I'm interested in. Right after that, I transitioned to talking about my hobby
1:53
which is collecting abstract art and expressed my opinion about it. I extended my answer
2:00
by giving the examiner an idea of what decorative arts were and I provided some examples. Notice
2:09
the topic vocabulary words that I used. It just shows that I have a good amount of knowledge
2:15
about this topic. Now let's proceed to the second question. Have you ever visited an art gallery? Absolutely! I've been to several art galleries in different
2:29
countries. I've visited the Red Gate Gallery in Beijing, the National Gallery in London
2:35
the Art Gallery in Western Australia and the Mori Building Digital Art Museum in Tokyo
2:41
Of all those art galleries, the Digital Art Museum in Tokyo is my favorite because it's
2:47
futuristic, extraordinary, creative and dreamy. I couldn't help myself but entranced by the
2:53
beauty of that kind of art. Okay, let's examine how I answered this question. I gave a positive direct answer by using an
3:03
alternative expression of yes. Then I cited some of the art galleries that I visited
3:10
That's a great way to extend my answer and at the same time showcasing the topic vocabulary
3:16
words that I know. Then I ended my answer by stating my favorite art gallery and even
3:23
provided my opinion about it and I used some good descriptive words. With that kind of
3:29
answer, I was able to completely utilize my language skills in a more natural way
3:36
Now let's continue. Before we continue answering questions 3 and 4, let us first broaden our understanding
3:45
about art. Let's talk about the visual art and its types. Well, visual art is defined as a creative art that is appreciated by sight. Let's have
3:59
a quick lesson about the different types of visual art so that you'll be able to get ideas
4:04
on how to provide answers that are worth band 7 or even band 9
4:10
Now let's begin understanding the different types of visual art. The first type of visual art is fine arts. Fine arts include drawing, sculpture, calligraphy
4:29
architecture, book illustration, printmaking, manuscript illustration, and painting
4:41
Now let's proceed to the second type of visual art. The contemporary arts is a second type of visual art. First, we have assemblage. Assemblage
4:53
is an art that is made by assembling disparate elements, mostly the objects that we see in
4:59
everyday life, scavenged or bought by the artist. Take a look at a picture. That is
5:06
a human skull made of canister or tin cans and different kinds of metal. That is a very
5:12
good example of an assemblage art. On the other hand, photography and animation are
5:19
also considered as contemporary arts. Now let's learn more about contemporary arts
5:29
We also have collage. Collage describes both the technique and the resulting work of art
5:35
in which pieces of paper, photographs, fabric, and other materials are arranged and stocked
5:41
down onto a supporting surface. Look at our example. That is a collage of Mark Zuckerberg
5:48
the founder of Facebook. You can see tiny pieces of emojis and other cut-out materials
5:55
related to Facebook and are stuck together to create an image. Next is graffiti. Graffiti is also an example of contemporary art. It is a writing or a
6:08
drawing sprayed on the wall or in a public place. Look at the sample picture
6:16
We will continue talking about other forms of art after we answer the third and fourth
6:21
questions. Let's proceed to the third and fourth questions
6:31
Third question. Is there any artwork on the wall in your room
6:35
Yes, I have two. One is a figurative art which was gifted to me by my best friend who is
6:41
an artist and the other one is a stained glass of Vincent van Gogh's masterpiece The
6:46
Starry Night. I got it from an online art shop five years ago and that was the time
6:52
when I was engrossed reading stories of the life of Vincent van Gogh. Those two artworks
6:58
hold a special place in my heart. Here I was directed a point when I gave my
7:04
answer. I enumerated the two pieces of artwork that I have in my room. To elaborate my answer
7:11
I talked about each artwork individually and the story behind each of those artworks
7:17
Finally, I ended my answer by saying that those pieces of artwork were dear to me. It's
7:24
a very good way to conclude my answer, plus I'm able to showcase the topic vocabulary
7:29
words that I knew. Fourth question. Have you ever had art classes
7:39
Let me read the second answer. Yes, I have and I'm still doing it now. I'm actually
7:44
a fine art student in one of the most prestigious art institutes in the city. And this current
7:50
semester I'm learning about minimalism and to tell you the truth, I'm hooked in it
7:55
I don't know, I just can't describe my feelings studying that type of art
8:00
Alright, here I gave a positive answer and mentioned that I'm still having art classes
8:07
I supported my introductory part by stating my major and to make the examiner get an
8:12
idea on what I'm currently doing, I talked about one particular art that I'm enjoying
8:17
studying. Then I ended my answer by expressing my admiration for minimalism. With that kind
8:25
of answer, I'm able to express naturally and able to showcase my vocabulary knowledge
8:30
which can help me get a better mark in the criterion lexical resource
8:35
Now let's continue learning about visual arts. The third type of visual art is decorative arts and crafts. First, we have mosaic art
8:49
Mosaic is a decoration of a surface with designs made up of closely set, usually variously
8:55
colored small pieces of material such as stone, mineral, glass, tile or shell. Look at our
9:04
example here, a panda made of small pieces of tiles and stones
9:10
Next, we have stained glass art. This is what we commonly see in churches
9:20
And lastly, we have tapestry. It's a piece of thick textile fabric with pictures or designs
9:26
formed by weaving. Look at our example. Now let's proceed to other forms of art
9:41
And this is the last type of visual art. We have applied arts. This type of art refers
9:48
to the application of artistic designs to utilitarian objects in everyday use. For you
9:55
to understand better, let me give you some examples. We have graphic design, interior
10:01
design and fashion design. And that's all about visual arts. I hope you learned a lot from this video lesson. Now
10:10
that you have good knowledge about art, there is no reason why you can't achieve your target
10:14
band score. And I hope that you will no longer think painting and sculpture as the only forms
10:21
of art, as there are many other forms of art. Anyway, please support this channel by subscribing. Don't forget to subscribe for you to be updated
