Translation of L1.2

“The Thinker” is a great piece of sculpture work. Its creator is the outstanding French sculptor and art master Rodin.

Rodin liked to draw pictures when little. On his fifth birthday, his aunt gave him several paint brushes. He was so happy that he started to paint on paper, wall and floor. In a few days, his paintings could be found everywhere at his home.

Having grown-up, Rodin entered a school of fine arts to study oil-painting, as he wanted to become a master of oil-painting. But soon after, he had to change to study sculpture because he couldn’t afford the pigment and canvas. Very quickly, he was fascinated by sculpture, and took it very seriously. Every morning he learned to do sculpture, and went painting outside in the afternoon. He scarcely took a break even on Sundays. He often shut himself up in his room to either painting or making statues.

Rodin is very gifted in sculpture and painting, plus his hard work and great effort, he created many famous sculpture work.
