1. 阅读理解
Born in 1956 in Detroit, Michigan, Robert
Wyland began his career in painting at the age of three. With a few cans of
house paint found under the kitchen sink, he painted his first mural(壁画), dinosaurs,
on the headboard of his parents' bed.
Today you never know where you might find
Wyland, but chances are that you will have to look up. This painter, sculptor,
and muralist now paints giant-sized murals of sea animals on much larger
canvases(画布): walls and ceilings of hotels and
other buildings, and even the outside of a stadium.
His project, the Whaling Walls, began in 1981
when Wyland painted a life-sized mural of a gray whale(鲸)
and her baby on the side of a hotel in Laguna Beach, California. His goal was
to paint one hundred whaling walls, which has been achieved. Painting so many
murals would be a huge project for any artist, but the size of these murals is
what has really made this a giant task.
How does Wyland go about creating such huge
lifelike murals? Wyland says he relies on what he calls his "mind's eye".
He explains that through his mind's eye he can look at a blank canvas and form
a picture of the finished mural in his mind.
To cover such large areas, Wyland, who is
afraid of heights, depends on scaffolding(脚手架)
to help him move around and produce his murals. But unlike most artists who can
step back to survey their work, Wyland has to rely mostly on his memory.
For accuracy in his artwork, Wyland spends as
much time underwater as he does painting. He dives to study his subjects and
learn more about them in their natural environment. Through his artwork, Wyland
hopes to inspire people to care more about our oceans and to respect and
protect the life within them. The whales he works so hard to protect may not
know it, but Wyland might just be the best friend a whale could have.
