Language through Art: An ESL Enrichment Curriculum (Beginning) Information for Teaching Still Life: Tea Set Jean-Étienne Liotard (Swiss, 1702–89) About 1781–83 Oil on canvas mounted on board 14 7/8 x 20 5/16 in. 84.PA.57 Background Information Chinese porcelain and tea drinking were popular in Europe when Jean-Étienne Liotard was born. In this painting of teatime disarray, a tray is set with a teapot, lidded vase (perhaps containing an extra supply of tea leaves), plate of bread and butter, sugar bowl with tongs, milk jug, and six cups, saucers, and spoons. A large bowl holding a teacup and saucer could also be used for dumping the slops of cold tea and used tea leaves. By the time Liotard painted this work in the late 1700s, tea drinking had become fashionable among the middle class as well as the upper class. This is one of five known depictions of china tea sets that he created around 1783. About the Artist Jean-Étienne Liotard (Swiss, 1702–89) Liotard first trained as a painter in Geneva. While in his twenties, he sought his fortune in Paris, where he studied in a prominent painter's studio. Later he traveled to Italy and throughout the Mediterranean region and finally settled in Constantinople for four years. Intrigued by the native dress, he grew a long beard and acquired the habit of dressing as a Turk, earning himself the nickname "the Turkish painter." While in Constantinople, he painted portraits of members of the British colony. For the remainder of his life, Liotard traveled throughout Europe painting portraits in pastels. He gained an international reputation in this medium for his care and skill in achieving an accurate likeness of his sitters. © 2012 J. Paul Getty Trust © 2012 J. Paul Getty Trust.

Socio-cultural history of tea had not been well-studied field in the Soviet historiography, but in the recent years, some of historians work on this theme because of the diversification of subjects in the Russian historiography. The paper provides an overview of early encounters of tea in Russia in the sixteenth and seventeenth century, comparing with other beverages that were drunk at that time. The paper sheds light on the two supply routes of tea to Russia, one from Mongolia and China, and the other from Europe. Drinking of brick tea did not become a custom in the 18th century, but tea consumption had bloomed since 19th century, rapidly increasing the import of tea. The main part of the paper clarifies how Russian- Chines trade at Khakhta had been interrelated to the consumption of tea in Russia. Finally, the paper shows how the Russian tea culture formation followed a different path from that of the tea culture of Europe.

In order to answer the following three questions “ whether the current tea culture phenomena can be called “tradition” or not; what are the changes in tea cultural tradition and what are the new features of the current trend of tea culture; what are the endogenous and exogenous factors which influenced the change in the tea drinking tradition”, I did literature research from ancient tea classics and historical documents to summarize the development history of Chinese tea culture, and used two month to do fieldwork on teahouses in Xi’an so that I could have a clear understanding on the current trend of tea culture. It is found that the current tea culture is inherited from tradition and changed with social development. Tea drinking traditions have become more and more popular with diverse forms.

Study on the Source of Creative Thinking of Ancient Purple Sand Tea Sets
2018 4th International Conference on Education & Training, Management and Humanities Science (ETMHS 2018) Study on the Source of Creative Thinking of Ancient Purple Sand Tea Sets Jin Xiang1 1 Wuhan Institute of Design and Science, Wuhan, 430062 Keywords: ancient purple sand tea set; design thinking; source Abstract: The people-oriented design, political conditions and social backgrounds produce a design concept that meets the development of the times. The origin of this design concept is cultural and environmental, and other crafts legend has created it not out of thin air. As for the source, how to further develop the craftsmanship is the purpose of this paper on the ancient traditional purple sand art. The development of ancient purple sand craftsmanship is a proof of several hundred years of practice. The advantages and disadvantages of this practice can be directly exposed by the research. As long as the intention is summarized, it can be found that the development of this craft is not an isolated region that has been mythized by contemporary people, and its development is based on the humanities at that time, regional culture, integrated with a variety of techniques, combined with social backgrounds of different periods, reflecting the results of social and cultural needs, and there is a design thinking on modeling and aesthetic choice in the late Qing Dynasty. The different kinds of decorative styles of teapots exported to Europe and Southeast Asia indicate that the design thinking at that time was not beyond imagination. Demands, methods, and humanities should be the main sources of thinking. This paper analyzes the development of the history of purple sand tea sets and protect traditional molding techniques as a precondition to provide a feasible direction for the creation and development of contemporary purple sand tea sets.
