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 treatises. 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 like analogies, as well as the author's broad and associative thinking, some passages occasionally become obscure and difficult to understand. These elements have made translation somewhat challenging. The second part is written by the art educator Diana Kazanik. The text contains more historical reviews and practical issues related to art education, with relatively straightforward and even casual language.
