35、A new theater will make it easier for us to enjoy art. In addition, it can serve other functions, for example as a conference site or a lecture hall.

Why?In voting for a theater to be built on campus, I have put high value on t
37、wo criteria. One is whether the project has artistic merit or not, and the other is whether it can stimulate peoples creativity.

49、 ordisagree with the statements.AFTER you view1 Holding an exhibition of graffiti is irresponsible because it encourages people to think spray-painting graffiti on public buildings is acceptable.

(To be continued)Listening to the worldViewing5 Work in groups and discuss whether you agree ordisagree with the statem
52、ents.AFTER you view I disagree with the first statement. Graffiti deserves the status of being a distinct genre of art. It is creative, expressive and sometimes thought provoking. Furthermore, I think that doing graffiti on public buildings, as long as it does not cause any damage, is largely accept
53、able. It is a unique part of our culture.Listening to the worldViewing5 Work in groups and discuss whether you agree ordisagree with the statements.AFTER you view2 Theres a difference between artistic graffiti and simple vandalism. There should be separate laws for graffiti artists and for kids who
54、just deface property. I dont think there is any difference between “artistic graffiti” and “vandalism”. In other words, we should treat the two as the same.(To be continued)Listening to the worldViewing5 Work in groups and discuss whether you agree ordisagree with the statements.AFTER you viewAll gr
55、affiti is art, no matter whether it is done by an adult or a kid. I think every person who does some sort of painting or drawing on the surface of a public building is trying to convey a message. In this sense, the picture should certainly be considered art.(To be continued)Listening to the worldVie
56、wing5 Work in groups and discuss whether you agree ordisagree with the statements.AFTER you view We should definitely have laws that treat artistic graffiti and sheer vandalism differently. Graffiti artists spend lots of efforts in making their work artistic. We should protect the rights of these pe
57、ople to pursue art. On the contrary, kids who randomly spray paint on public property just make a mess and spoil the surface of buildings. Their act is vandalism and should certainly be prohibited by law.Listening to the worldViewing5 Work in groups and discuss whether you agree ordisagree with the
58、statements.AFTER you view3 To encourage artistic creation and meanwhile prevent vandalism, there should be laws to define where graffiti is allowed and where it is prohibited. I totally agree.

61、us where graffiti can be done and where it cannot. As long as the creation of graffiti causes no harm to people or properties, it should be permitted, be it on the sides of a street or the walls of an old factory building. We just need some general laws about peoples behavior in public places. A reg
