(There`s an) art exhibition here on campus which (ties in) well (with) the disscussion we`re (had) about folk民间的 art. It`s (an) exhibition (of wildlife art) <calendars历年，记事录> (from) about a hundred years ago.
# Q7 P4 Q3 x; @ Q( i! G+ l1 c2 V% E1 D
Like most other folk art, the calendar pictures (were) not (considered to) be art (in their own day). People just thought (of) them (as a wayof decorating装饰) a pratical object. In fact, the calendar pictures were originally (printed) as advertising for (various) companies that made (hunting) or (fishing) products, like guns or fishing (rods竿，杆). The calendars were handed (out) free (to) customers to thank (them for) their business. Most people just hung the calendars on (their) wall (where) the pictures (faded褪了色的in) the sun, and then (tore撕扯（原形为tear）) the pictures (off the) calendars (as) each month passed. As a result, colectors today (place) a lot of value on calendars that (are) complete and in good condition.

In fact, many famous (wildlife painters) created (calendar art at) some point in their lives. To them, (it was a way of) getting (their work) what they reproduce and shown around.$ j( q4 E) y.

The pictures in the exhibit陈列品 often potray the (thrill<n.>兴奋，激动，紧张 and adventure of hunting) rather than (any) paticular concern for (wildlife preservation 保护). But most of today`s (wildlife art) shows animals (in their) <natural> surroundings---without any human (in the scene). This moderm wildlife art appeals (to) large numbers of (nature) lovers, even those (who) oppose (the practice<n.>实施) of hunting. 1 {* C6 J0 R' [0 P" a! L9 v

9 @0 r; `7 I# M/ oThe next (style of) furniture design I`d like to discuss is (Shaker) forniture design. The Shakers (are a religious宗教的 group flourished<v.>繁荣，兴旺 in) the nineteenth-centry United States. At that time, the Shakers lived in their own communities and believed in living simply. This ideal (of) <simplicity> (extended to their) furniture design, as you (will) see.% u0 o& H- e q" i

Because the shape of (their) furniture wasn`t supposed to (be) <unnecessarily> <decorative>, the furtiture`s surface became the only place (to create visual视觉的，看得见的) pleasure. Shaker furniture used (light colored) woods like <pine>, (maple枫树 or cherry樱桃树). It was often painted blue, green or yellow.& h$ b7 N7 R1 x

As these slides show, some of (their) most interesting pieces were made for the workplace. Notice (that this sewing缝纫，缝纫机) table has (drawers) that can be pulled (out) from either side. This (feature特点) enables two people to sew at the same time. Likewise同样的, if you look (closely at) these (slides of) counters橱柜，厨房操作台 and(workbenches), you`ll (notice) that these pieces (were also desiged to be used) from more than one side. Thus, several people woud be able to work at one time.1 G2 _9 a6 U$ }; A: E r

Nowadays, Shaker furniture design`s enjoying (a revival复兴，苏醒).【enjoy a revival 记住这个搭配】The (simple but stylish时髦的) furniture (made) by Shaker (is) popular among <affluent富裕的，丰富的> <collectors>, including such (celebrities as Bill Cosby) and (Oprah winfrey). As you`ve seen, (the plainness of) Shaker furniture makes (it) strangely morden in (appearance). In fact, (their austere朴实无华的；严酷的；艰苦的 minimalist极简艺术的 designes) have influenced several mordern furniture designers, some of whom we`ll discuss next.7 x3 f' }5 }+ e2 W3 h
