3, free art after renaissance reveal........
4, government regulation confined the freedom of art
5, conclusion

I partly agree with the speaker's assertion that the arts reveal the otherwise hidden ideas and impulses of a society. However, there are many circumstances that art's function has not developed or being misguided to the other directions.

Consider the time when art was originated in long time ago. Art was generally a means to simply bring people pleasure and entertainment. When people heard a happy song or saw a painting with combination of colors so beautiful, they were able to put their hard lives aside and gain some feeling of happiness. Later the art has gradually being controlled by the authority and aristocrat. Because artists have to survive to live and the enjoying of art have later been regarded as a luxury to ordinary people. Therefore, the artists were creating works that meet the appreciation of higher level audiences.

The period of Renaissance is a time that artists have realized their spirit of creating art was confined by higher forces. Consequently, lots of artists began to set their spirit free and apply themselves to the creation of art that reflects human nature and their idea about impulses of a society. Countless number of "free art has appeared" in or after the period. Take Beethoven, the great musician and composer, for example, the rhythm of his symphony is generally unpredictable and always bring convulsion to his audiences, the spirit that he convey in his work, which has never appeared before his time, is the persistent effort to challenge to destiny. Another example is the Liberty Statue, a present from France to the United States, is a convey of liberty and freedom that reveals the inner spirit of American people. In this circumstance, we thus can say that the arts is served to reveal hidden ideas and impulses of a society.

Nonetheless, nowadays, the situation of art has become slightly different from that of the art in the near past. Because the government start to provide funds to support art instead of patrons as a consumer of art. Many artists have led a better life since then. However, this is not to say a better change can take place to the art. Because in the case of government as major patron, there are always a will or a regulation or artists' work that appeared to be the preference of certain kind of art. In order to lead a decent life, modern artists tend to create work that is in accordance with government's will to obtain more supports. Take the extreme example of art in Soviet Union, the driving force was so hard and apparent that no artists have the courage to disobey the authorities' will, thus art can not possibly reflect the inner feeling of people freely, let alone the impulse of society. Even in the United States, the regulation of art exists in a large range, although the situation may be less apparent compared to the Soviet Union. Therefore, to some extent, the art have been less competent to appeal the inner feeling of people and society.

I sum, I believe the revelation of hidden ideas and impulses of a society is a driving force that both to the development of society and art. Admittedly, there are many artists who stick to this function of art and make it possible to civilian to understand what they can't see in public life. After all, in modern society there are always government regulation to serve as a coerce force to alter the general direction of the art to benefit the authority's profit. Therefore, we can not simply say that all art is dedicated on the revelation of hidden ideas of people and impulse of society, as the speaker claimed.

考完了呵呵呵
