Task 1 Questions 1-5 You will hear five people talking about their main reason for making art. Match each speaker (1-5) with one option from A-H. There are three options that you do not need. You will hear the recording twice.
Speaker 1 While some people believe that artists primarily use their work to address social and political issues, I think that the aesthetic function of art is its main purpose. It may seem rather unconventional, especially when I miss the opportunity to earn some money. But for me, it's about staying true to the expression of the world's magic. My biggest wish is to make stunning pieces that evoke strong, powerful feelings and leave a long lasting impression.
Speaker 2 Art is a complex and dynamic force, simultaneously quite challenging and beautiful. Initially, I wanted the approval of other people. Yet, I realized this external focus disguised my true motivation. Creating art offers me profound emotional release and clarity. I understood how art can cure and rejuvenate me beyond any audience's gaze. Some people may say that my art lacks the personal touch or conforms to certain norms, but these opinions matter less now.
Speaker 3 I stumbled into art out of curiosity and found amusement in capturing the magnificence that surrounds me. Brush strokes became my inner language, each and every canvas - a test of patience and a tribute to the wonders of the world. However, when I discovered sculpting, I was captivated by the mesmerizing dance of materials and forms. Soon, this became my source of play and profound joy. You can't put a price tag on these cherished moments.
Speaker 4 While society often measures someone's success in financial terms, for many artists, the true measure of their success lies in the appreciation of their hard work, the impact it has and the legacy it creates. In my opinion, the beauty of art lies in its priceless ability to use a visual language to comment on issues that deeply affect or provoke strong reactions among the masses. It resonates through generations and challenges us to be better every day.
Speaker 5 As I reflect on my journey, I remember the innocence of my younger years when art was merely a joyful pleasure. Over the years, the hunger for my work to be seen and valued has become so intense that it overshadows the rewards of material gain. While some people may argue that my path seemed easy, I've faced numerous challenges, and nothing stopped me from achieving my big dream.
