1 Is Chinese artist Cai Guo-Quiang a painter, a
sculptor or a show director? Well, he’s all of these Reading
things. He makes huge sculptures − and the amazing
2008 Beijing Olympic Games opening show was 8
organised by him too. But he’s probably most famous
for his fire paintings, which are made by explosions.
There are exhibitions of his work all around the world,
and galleries and museums have had a lot of books
written about him too. So if you’re interested in
modern Chinese art, check him out.
2 Before you look around the museum, I want to tell
you about the history of St Ives. St Ives was just a Unit 8
small fishing town on the Cornish coast until the
1950s. Then artists were attracted to the town by its
wild, natural beauty. The history of modern British art Grammar
was changed by some of these artists, but life wasn’t 1
easy for them. They lived in old stone cottages which
had been made for poor people – and they were very
poor too! Today, they are famous, of course. The
Tate Gallery had this museum built just to show their
work!
3 Christopher Paolini’s first book was written when he
was fifteen. That’s amazing, but it’s not why I like
him. His books are fantasy books, of course. His
animals fly and people have amazing powers, and I
don’t usually like things like that. But Paolini’s books 2
are really exciting, and he makes you believe in the
story. It has been said that Christopher Paolini’s
books are for younger children, but I don’t agree. I
think both teenagers and adults should read them −
because they’re just amazing!
4 You’re listening to Early Evenings with Maria
Barranca. Well, it’s September again − and next
week is the start of the Sausalito Arts Festival. Two
hundred and sixty artists have been chosen to be in
this year’s festival, so you can see great painting, 3
sculpture, clothes and even have your portrait drawn!
Or why not sit by San Francisco Bay and listen to the

here this year. The festival is on from 5–7
September, and you really should visit. It’s going to
