听力原文： Broadly speaking, there are two types of paintings: representational and abstract. The former portrays specific, recognizable physical objects.

For most of history, the primary purpose of painting had been to portray images. Starting with the Post-Impressionists, however, the emphasis began to shift to unconscious feeling.

There are two types of abstract paintings. "Abstracted" paintings may not look realistic, but you can get an idea of what you are looking at. "Pure" abstract paintings are just shapes, colors, lines, patterns, and so on.

In truth, there is a lot more to abstract art than what meets the eye. To truly appreciate a work of art, you need to understand there must be context involved and a particular environment created. More importantly, art allows us indirect access to our inner psyche. Great art affords a way to get in touch with the unconscious part of our existence, even if we don't realize what we are doing.

The reason abstract art has the potential to be so powerful is that it keeps the conscious distractions to a minimum. This, of course, only works if you cooperate with the artist. If you are to truly appreciate a work of art, you must be willing to let yourself go, to put yourself in the hands of the artist, so to speak, and let him take you wherever he wants.

I'm sending around a form. for you to put down some information on how we can get in touch with you. so if you put your name, phone number, and time you will be available we'd appreciate it. If you have any special skills, it would be good for you to write those down on the paper as well. Also please write down the performances that you will be able to assist with. I realize that everyone can't come to each performance, but the more you attend the better. However, you should also keep it in mind that it will be very time consuming, and we may end up staying quite late into the evening. So don't sign up if you won't be able to made it.

Once you have all had a chance to go through the sign-up sheet and mark down any special skills you might have to offer, please return it to me. At our next meeting on Tuesday, we'll begin talking about the details of all the different jobs. While you're waiting for the sheet to get passed around, I'll be happy to answer any questions that you have today.
