Изобразительное искусство в соединении с искусством слова учит познавать окружающий мир через картину. Можно сказать, что искусство является учебником жизни. Умелый анализ картины – одно из активных средств, помогающих понять образную природу искусства, найти правильную оценку произведения, овладеть умением образно мыслить и образно говорить, развить навыки творческой интерпретации впечатлений. Безусловно, важно помнить, что анализ живописного произведения играет немаловажную роль для реализации практической цели обучения иностранным языкам, для развития и совершенствования устной речи учащихся.
Влияя на эмоциональную сферу учащихся, картина вызывает у детей спонтанные высказывания о ее содержании. У учащихся формируется умения последовательно излагать, обосновывать и обобщать свои наблюдения и выражать свое отношение к изображенному. Переводя язык живописи на словесный язык, ученики вынуждены найти не только нужное, но и наиболее точное и яркое слово, что приучает их вдумчиво относиться к явлениям жизни и к слову. Они уточняют значение слов, обогащая словарный состав речи, учатся строить связное высказывание.
Благодаря содержанию произведений живописи, учитель имеет возможность реализовать на уроке межпредметные связи, активизировать знания по другим предметам, повторить и расширить межтематическую лексику учащихся. Урок при этом становится богаче, привлекательнее и интереснее по содержанию.
Результаты наблюдений и открытий завершаются совместным проектом «Альбом любимых картин» и видеопутешествием в Лувр.
Пошаговая подготовка к созданию конечного образовательного продукта снимает сложность и поддерживает позитивное отношение к работе.
Таким образом, цели и задачи курса состоят в формировании умений и навыков, необходимых для успешного обучения в 10-11 классах гуманитарного профиля.
Цель данного курса – подготовка к выбору профиля, повышение мотивации к овладению английским языком, поддержание интереса учащихся к изучению английского языка, к культуре и народу нашей страны и другим странам, расширение кругозора и эрудиции.

Учащиесяотвечаютнавопрос“What is the role of art in our life?”
2. Вступительное слово учителя о целях курса и данного занятия.
“A great painting enriches our experience of life as a great poem does or a great musical piece” One needs the ability to appreciate and share the vision of artists, lacking such ability one may develop it.
The best way to get understanding and greater enjoyment of art is to view many paintings, looking at them thoughtfully. Great works of art seem to look different every time one stands before them. It goes without saying that before looking at canvases you are supposed to know something about the artist who created them, about the time, in which he worked, about the artist’s style and technique. Appreciating of painting can be cultivated in two ways:
acquiring knowledge of different trends, schools and painters through books and literature;
visiting galleries and museums, looking at pictures, returning to the same paintings again and again.
The subject of our lesson is painting. Today we are going to speak about works of art different genres of painting, types of pictures, styles of art and places where art is shown.

Thus, art is making or expression of what is beautiful. Art is a great power, especially if it appeals to the heart and mind of man, to his feelings and ideals. Works of art are always man-made and man-designed. They bring up emotions, moral standards and taste. Henry Ward Beecher once said: "Every artist dips his brush in his own soul and paints his own nature into pictures."
The art of painting is undoubtedly one of the oldest ones. It includes such genres as landscape, still life, portrait, icon painting, etc.

8.Подведение итогов занятия. Домашнее задание.
Our response to colour is actually much more complex than most people realize. Colours are so important because they are such a strong part of the way that we see our world. We are born with the ability to see colours, and in some cases we are able to understand their meaning without anybody telling us why. Colours have an affect on each of us. They speak to us on the level of our sub-conscious minds. They convey different feelings and emotions. Colours can make us feel good, excite us, generate fear and joy, sadness or hatred.
Colour, then, has a dual function: it fulfills aesthetic requirements, and imparts a certain meaning and tone to a work of art.The same colour can stand for different things depending on the situation it is being used in. At the next lessons we’ll see the significance of colours looking at the paintings of different artists.
Your home task is to choose ten words and ten expressions that you particularly wish to learn and write them down in sentences of your own.

3. Чтениетекста“The Golden Age of English Painting”. Мультимедийная презентация о творчестве английских писателей.
When talking about the British painters' contribution to the world of cultural heritage, we usually recall such artists as Hogarth, Gainsborough, Reynolds, Constable, and Turner. These are the painters of truly international standing.
William Hogarth(1697—1764) was one of the greatest English artists and a man of remarkably individual character and thought. He was the first artist to reject foreign influence and raised British pictorial art to a high level of importance.In his pictures he reflected social life and in many of them the beauty of his painting was accompanied by satire.
Unlike his contemporaries William Hogarth portrayed not only representatives of the upper classes but also common people. Among his favourite works are six pictures united under the title "Marriage a la Mode" and “The Election Entertainment” which show the life very satirically.
In 1742 Hogarth painted “The Graham Children” where he brilliantly used his delicate colours to show the charm of childhood.
Sir Joshua Reynolds(1723 - 1792) was the most outstanding portraitist of the period. He created a whole gallery of portraits of the most famous of his contemporaries. He usually painted his characters in heroic style and showed them as the best people of the nation. He was the first president of the Royal Academy and the principal painter of the King.
Thomas Gainsborough (1727-1788), one of the greatest masters of the English school, was a portraitist and a landscape painter. He successfully connected man and nature. His portraits are painted in clear tones. Blue and green are predominant colours.
Gainsborough is acknowledged as an excellent women painter. “The Portrait of Duchess de Beaufort”, “Mrs. Siddons”, “Two Daughters” are among his best paintings.
William Joseph Turner(1774 - 1851) was the greatest English romantic, landscape and marine painter whose most favourite topic was sea ("The Shipwreck"). He painted waves and storms, clouds and mists with a great skill. Turner was a great colourist. During his life Turner created some hundreds of paintings and some thousands of water-colors and drawings. After his death his own entire collection of paintings and drawings was willed to the nation.
John Constable (1776-1837) was an English landscape painter who created many well-known works. He was fond of the place where he was born and spent his childhood on the river Stour. Constable saw very beautiful woods, greens in nature and depicted them in his own realistic way. It was the cloudy, rainy days that Constable painted. He is said to be the first landscape painter in England.
George Romney (1734-1802)was the most fashionable portrait painter of his day, painting many leading society figures - including his artistic muse, Emma Hamilton, mistress of Lord Nelson In his paintings line rather than colour dominates.

The history of20th century artis a narrative of endless possibilities and the search for new standards and trends. Let’s consider some of them.
Expressionismis a general style of painting that aims to express a personal interpretation of a scene or object, rather than depict its true-life features, it is often characterized by energetic brushwork, impastoed paint, intense colours and bold lines. Expressionists included Vincent Van Gogh, Edvard Munch and Wassily Kandinsky.
Surrealismis amovement in visual art, flourishing in Europe between World Wars I and II.The major Surrealist painters were Jean Arp,Max Ernst,André Masson, RenéMagritte, YvesTanguy, SalvadorDalí, PierreRoy, PaulDelvaux, andJoan Miró.A number of specific techniques were devised by the Surrealists to evoke psychic responses. Among these werefrottage(rubbing with graphite over wood or other grained substances) andgrattage(scraping the canvas).
Impressionismis an attempt to accurately and objectively record visual reality in terms of transient effects of light and colour. The principal Impressionist painters wereClaude Monet, Pierre AugusteRenoir,Camille Pissarro,Alfred Sisley,Berthe Morisot, ArmandGuillaumin, and FrédéricBazille, who worked together, influenced each other, and exhibited together independently. EdgarDegasandPaul Cézannealso painted in an Impressionist style.
Cubismwas invented by Pablo Picassoand Georges Braque. It is considered to be "the revolutionary” movement of modern art.Cubismoffers different views of the same object, typically arranged in a series of overlapping fragments: rather like a photographer might take several photos of an object from different angles, before cutting them up with scissors and rearranging them in haphazard fashion on a flat surface.
3. Чтениетекста”Pablo Picasso”. Мультимедийная презентация о Пабло Пикассо и его творчестве.
His Early Life
On 25 October, 1881, a baby boy was born in Malaga, Spain. It was a difficult birth and to help him breathe, cigar smoke was blown into his nose! This baby grew up to be one of the twentieth century’s greatest painters – PABLO PICASSO.
Picasso showed a passion and a skill for drawing from an early age; according to his mother, his first words were “piz, piz”, a shortening of lápiz, the Spanish word for ‘pencil’ and he could draw before he could talk. He was the only son in the family, so he was thoroughly spoiled. He hated school and often refused to go unless he was allowed to take one of his father’s pet pigeons with him!
Apart from pigeons, his great love was art. When in 1891 his father got a job as an art teacher, Pablo went with him to work and watched him paint. Sometimes he was allowed to help. He had to draw paws of pigeons on the father`s pictures.
One evening, his father was painting a picture of their pigeons when he had to leave the room. When he returned, Pablo had completed the picture. It was so beautiful and lifelike that he gave his son his palette and brushes and never painted again. Pablo was just thirteen.
His Life as an Artist
His genius as an artist was soon recognized by many people, but others were shocked by his strange and powerful paintings. He is probably best known for his Cubist pictures. His portraits of people were often made up of triangles and squares with their features on the wrong places. One of his most famous portraits was of the American writer Gertrude Stein, who he met after he’d moved to Paris in 1904.
His work changed ideas about art around the world, and to million of people, modern art means the work of Picasso. Guernica which he painted in 1937, records the bombing of that small Basque town during the Spanish Civil War and is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces of modern painting.
His Final Years
Picassso married twice and also had many mistresses. He had four children. The last, Paloma, was born in 1949 when he was 68 years old. At the age of 90 he was honoured by an exhibition in the Louvre in Paris. He was the first living artist to be shown there.
Picasso created over 6,000 paintings, drawings, and sculptures. Today, a Picasso costs millions of pounds. Once, when the French Minister of Culture was visiting Picasso, the artist accidentally spilled some paint on the Minister’s trousers. Picasso apologized and wanted to pay for them to be cleaned, but the Minister said, “Non! Please, Monsieur Picasso, just sign my trousers!”
Picasso died of heart failure during an attack of influenza in 1973.

1
Picasso gave me a glance and looked me straight in the eyes. He was dressed in a light grey business suit, a blue cotton shirt and a tie. There was a bright yellow handkerchief in his breast pocket. His hands were small and solid. I introduced myself and Picasso offered me his hand immediately. He had a warm, sincere smile which made me feel relaxed.
2
I explained that I had always been interested in his wirk. I told him that at his recent exhibition I had suddenly understood what he wanted to say. I wanted to get to know him personally and to ask him if my analysis of his paintings was correct. If they were, I said, I wanted to write about the paintings in America.
3
Then I described for Picasso my interpretation of his painting ‘The Sailor’. I asked him whether the sailor’s suit, the net and the red butterfly showed Picasso as a person trying to find a better world. He listened carefully and finally said: ‘Yes. It’s me, but I did not mean it to have any political meaning at all.’
4
I asked if he saw himself as a leader. Picasso nodded seriously and said: ‘Yes, I realize it.’ I mentioned how we had often discussed his work back in New York, especially the ‘Guernica’ painting, his most well-known painting. I talked about the symbolism of the bull and the horse. Picasso kept nodding. ‘Yes,’ he said ‘the bull represents brutality, the horse the people. Yes, there I used symbolism.’

I asked: ‘Why do you paint in such a way that it is so difficult for people to understand?’ ‘I paint this way,’ he replied, because it’s the result of my thought. I have worked for years to get this result and if I take a step backwards it will be an insult to people.’
6
‘It is quite impossible,’ he went on, ‘to explain why you do this or that. I express myself through painting and I can’t explain through words. I can’t explain why I did it that way. For me, if I sketch a little table, I see every detail. I see the size and the thickness, and I translate it in my own way.’

3. Ознакомление с отрывком из повести К. Паустовского «И.И. Левитан»
Левитан жил за городом. Он был беден, почти нищ. Клетчатый пиджак протерся вконец. Юноша вырос из него. Руки, измазанные масляной краской, торчали из рукавов, как птичьи лапы. Все лето Левитан ходил босиком. Куда было в таком наряде появляться перед веселыми дачниками!
И Левитан скрывался. Он брал лодку, заплывал на ней в тростники на
дачном пруду и писал этюды…
Особенно томительны были сумерки. На балконе соседней дачи зажигали свет… Поздним вечером, женский голос пел в саду печальный романс…
Лето кончилось. Все реже был слышен голос незнакомки. Как-то в сумерки Левитан встретил у калитки своего дома молодую женщину. Ее узкие руки белели из-под черных кружев. Кружевами были оторочены рукава платья. Мягкая туча закрыла небо. Шел редкий дождь. Горько пахли цветы в палисадниках. На железнодорожных стрелах зажгли фонари.
Незнакомка стояла у калитки и пыталась раскрыть маленький зонтик, но он не раскрывался. Наконец он раскрылся, и дождь зашуршал по его шелковому верху. Незнакомка медленно пошла к станции. В неверном свете он увидел бледное лицо. Оно показалось ему знакомым и красивым.
Левитан вернулся в свою каморку и лег. Чадила свеча, гудел дождь.
Тоска по материнской, сестринской, женской любви вошла с тех пор в сердце и не покидала Левитана до последних дней его жизни.
Этой же осенью Левитан написал "Осенний день в Сокольниках". Это была первая его картина, где серая и золотая осень, печальная, как тогдашняя русская жизнь, как жизнь самого Левитана, дышала с холста осторожной теплотой и щемила у зрителей сердце.
По дорожке Сокольнического парка, по ворохам опавшей листвы шла молодая женщина в черном - та незнакомка, чей голос Левитан никак не мог забыть.
"Осенний день в Сокольниках" - единственный пейзаж Левитана, где
присутствует человек, и то его написал Николай Чехов. После этого люди ни разу не появлялись на его полотнах. Их заменили леса и пажити, туманные разливы и нищие избы России, безгласные и одинокие.
4. Перевод текста «Осенний день в Сокольниках» на английский язык.Translate this text into English.
«Осенний день в Сокольниках» (1879)
Картина принадлежит кисти И. Левитана. На картине изображена широкая аллея в Сокольниках в осенний день. Я думаю, это начало октября. Мы видим осенние кленовые деревья. Воздух влажен. Похоже, что скоро пойдет дождь. На переднем плане фигура женщины, одетой в черное платье. Она идет по аллее к зрителям. Она смотрит вниз, и лицо ее задумчиво и печально.
Картина выполнена с большим мастерством. Мы чувствуем палитру художника, и трудно оторвать взгляд от картины. Пейзаж захватывает воображение. Композиция картины, мастерское использование красок, фигура женщины - все служит созданию выразительной, печальной, но очень красивой картины. Осень изображена как печальное время года, но в картине мы чувствуем обещание весны и возрождение.
Левитан создал прекрасный образ родной земли, которую он очень любил.

Ознакомление с образцом описания картины Ван Гога «Спальня в Орли».
Van Gogh “Bedroom at Arles”
I have chosen a painting by Vincent Van Gogh, who was born in 1853 in Holland. This painting is called “Bedroom at Arles” and it was painted in 1888.
At that time, Van Gogh was living in a house which he wanted to decorate and this is how he wanted his bedroom to look. When his brother asked him what he wanted to express in this painting, Van Gogh replied that he wanted the colours to make everything look happier. He added that the painting should make us feel relaxed.
I like this painting because the colours are very bright and clear. Ifinditcheerful. WhenIlookatitIfeelrelaxed. I think it’s because it reminds me of a child’s bedroom, and it looks great on my bedroom wall.
Today, this painting is in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. The last years of Van Gogh’s life were very sad and, as a result, he committed suicide in 1890. He is one of the greatest painters of all times.

Ознакомление с образцом описания картины Моне «Венеция: Палаццо де Мула».

background information
personal information and reactions
Claude Monet was one of the most important Impressionist painters. My favourite painting is his “Venice: Palazzo de Mula”. The first time I set eyes on this painting I found it quire breath taking. I had been looking for a present for a friend of mine when I noticed a poster of it in a shop window. The first thing that caught my eye were colours because they were so vivid and powerful.
The painting shows a palace in Venice. The canvas is divided into two parts: the canal and the building. In the centre of the picture there are two arches which seem to bee the entrance to the palace. In front of these, there are two gondolas. At the top of the painting are two balconies.
Above the central arches there are a couple of windows of a strange, dark-red colour – perhaps it is the reflection of the sunset. At the bottom of the picture, the water in the canal is still, as I gaze at it, I feel a sense of peace and calm.

The National Portrait Gallery(opened in 1856) houses portraitsof historically important and famous British people, selected on the basis of the significance of the sitter, not that of the artist. The collection includes photographsand caricaturesas well as paintings, drawingsand sculpture. There are self-portraits by William Hogarth, Sir Joshua Reynoldsand other British artistsof note.
The Tate Galleryis one of London's best-known art galleries, opened with the financial support of Sir Henry Tate, who also gave a collection of 65 paintings.

The Gallery also has an extensive collection of modern prints. It regularly holds special exhibitions.
The Victoria and Albert Museum (founded in 1852 and often abbreviated as the V&A) was given its present name in honor of Queen Victoria and her husband Prince Albert. It is situated in south central London. It is the world's largest museum of decorative arts and design, housing a permanent collection of over 4.5 million objects. Its collection spans 5,000 years of art, from ancient times to the present day.

From the Artist:The colours are used for emotional response rather than to determine actual hues of buildings, boats and water.
From the Painting Guide: The bright, vibrant colours of the street against of the disorder of the clouds presents an enticing, merry vision. This contrasts with the relatively placid lapping waters and subdued tones of the boats in the foreground. It's a painting which suggests the viewer is being pulled towards the metropolis, where a great time is to be had.
