Artists are continually trying to find creative ways to show their talent. Some, like Iris Scott, paint with their bare fingers. Now Turkish artist Garip Ay has become well-known worldwide by adopting Ebru, an ancient technique that allows him to create amazing paintings on water.
Believed to have originated in Central Asia in the 13th century, Ebru made its way to Turkey by the 16th century, where it was perfected. The art form remains popular in Turkey, with many painters using the technique to create attractive pieces, covetedby both collectors and tourists.
Ebru artists begin by adding some gum to water to help increase the water’s viscosity(黏度)and prevent it from mixing with the paint. The solution (溶液)is then poured into a wooden container with the same dimensions as the solid surface on which the painting will finally rest. To keep the colors afloat, and improve their ability to spread across the water’s surface, some drops of ox bile(胆汁)are mixed in with each color.
To create the paintings, the artists first splash(泼洒)the paints on the water using brushes made with horsehair. They then use droppers(滴管)to carefully shape the colors and create the perfect designs. When complete, an absorbent(能吸收的) surface, such as paper, is carefully placed on top to get the painting. Once dry, the artwork is flattened and polished by hand.
Ebru was initially used for book covers or to decorate the inside pages with wildly colorful papers. However, artists like Ay have added a modern twist by using absorbent fabrics, glass, and wood as solid surfaces.
Though Ay has created several amazing paintings since he began using Ebru in 2007, the most famous is his 2016 recreation of Vincent Van Gogh’s StarryNight. Those seeking a more modern Ebru creation is pleased to know that in 2017. The artist also painted characters from the popular Netflix series, StrangerThings.

四、短文七选五：
Children art education is something that is much encouraged for the child's creative growth. This is necessary because a child can have a sense of appreciation of arts, along with all the other things that they learn in school.　1　
Children art education should be designed from a very early age so that they are allowed to express themselves freely in whatever way that they wish to. 　2　
However, the task of children art education is not a very easy one, because you have to find the right way in which you can help them get interested in what you are trying to teach them.　3　 The physical space where the art education is to be carried out should also be carefully decorated to make it attractive to the children. The use of colors should be in abundance (丰富) as that is what attracts a child first.
Displaying examples of artwork that you think would be important enough to influence the children is also a good idea. Of course, a photograph of a painting of the Madonna (圣母马利亚) is something that children might not appreciate.　4　 This will be a source of inspiration for the children to try them out as well.
The creative process is something that you must not interfere with (干涉) during a children art education class. 　5　 But after that, you must wait for the children themselves to come up with something meaningful to their ability. As long as the end result is connected with the topic, every child's artwork is worth praising.
A. You can just give them a topic for drawing.
B.A trip to an art museum can be an inspiration to many students.
C. They also have a place where they can express all their feelings.
D. The reason for this could be the lack of interest in the teacher.
E. This is the only way that art can be appreciated as children grow up.
F. So creating the right environment for children art education is very important.
G. Instead, put up paintings that children will be fond of.
