Features: As the title indicates, this book consists of two parts: "Art Creation" and "Art Education." The first part is written by the painter Morris Brown, who primarily discusses various issues related to fine arts, especially oil painting creation. The text includes both professional and technical content, as well as the author's comments and philosophical reflections on art creation, making it distinct from typical academic works. In terms of writing style, the personal characteristics of the first part are also quite evident. Due to the use of poetic language and rhetorical devices such as analogies, as well as the author's wide-ranging and associative thinking, sometimes ambiguous and obscure sentences appear. These factors have made translation somewhat challenging. The second part is written by the art educator Diana Kazanik. The text includes more historical reviews and practical issues in art education, with relatively straightforward and even casual language.
