Teacher: Are you interested in art? What art in particular?

Teacher: Have you ever been to any picture galleries or museums?

Dear guests and students, here you can see the exhibition. These are works of the students of our school and your classmates. I suppose that you are impressed like me by our students` talent. Later we shall ask them to tell some words about their works: where and when they were painted, what was the reason of their creation, about emotions they wanted to express.

Teacher: What kinds of art can you name?

Students: They are: Theatre, painting, music, dance, literature etc.

(slide 5)

Teacher: Here you see the classification of arts. Can you comment it?

Students: Painting, photography, sculpture are visual arts. Dance, music, theatre are performing arts.

Teacher: Visual art is a vast subject, including all kinds of pictures and sculptures. Artists make art for many reasons. Hundreds of years ago – when many people couldn’t read – paintings were often designed to illustrate stories. And a lot of paintings were made to decorate churches. More recently, artists have begun to paint to express their own feelings or explore ideas, or just to create something beautiful. People have always argued about art – how to make it? What it should like and why? But there are no wrong answers. What kind of art you enjoy is up to you.

So, today we are going to speak about visual art, painting in particular. We shall learn interesting information about famous artists and pictures, we shall practice our skills in describing pictures.

Teacher: Painting is probably the oldest kind of art. It has been changing through the years and has existed in different forms and styles.

Teacher: When artists create their works they follow different tendencies, art movements and styles. Here you see the description of one of the styles in painting. Your task is read and guess, what style it is. Match the name of the style with its definition. Slide 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14.

1. It’s the art that doesn’t represent recognizable objects. (Abstract)

2. These paintings showed things as they are, as they appear to most people. It promotes accurate, detailed depiction of nature or contemporary life. It rejects imaginative idealization in favour of close observation. (Realism)

3. This style was founded in France in the 1870s. Artists painted outdoors and developed a sketchy style, trying to capture the changing effect of natural light. It’s the conception of art as imitation of nature. Its subject included landscapes, trees, houses, street scenes. Some of them painted their pictures in their particular way. Their pictures are made of thousands of colour dots. (Impressionism)

4. The key concept of this style is that essence of the object can only be shown from different points of view at once. Its works reject perspective in favour of geometric forms. (Cubism)

5. The art in which common objects (such as comic strips, soup cans, road signs, and hamburgers) were used as subject matter. (Pop Art)

6. In Europe in the 18 century Classicism was the quality of being simple, balanced and controlled, not giving way to feeling and following ancient models in contrast to Romanticism and Realism. (Classicism)

7. In European art in the late 18^th and early 19^th centuries there appeared a group of artists who followed their feelings and emotions rather than logical thought or reason, and who preferred wild, natural beauty things made by man. (Romantism)

8. This style appeared at the beginning of the 20^th century in Germany. Artists use exaggerated shapes and colours to try to convey feelings. (Expressionism).

9. This style appeared in the 20th century. Artists used strange dreamlike images in their works.

Slide 15

Teacher: Now you know the features of painting styles. Have a look at the pictures and match the styles to the paintings.

Students:

This landscape belongs to such style as impressionism.

This portrait is created in a style – realism.

This strange picture is definitely belongs to surrealism.

The picture where the figure of a man is depicted belongs to expressionism.

Slide 16 (1)

Teacher: Here you can see the picture painted in one of the most interesting and strange manner. What style is it?

Student: It is Cubism.

Teacher: We are going to speak about Cubism. Have a look at the picture and say what you see in this picture. You have a great imagination. It will help you. (Students tell what they see in this picture).

Teacher: Would you like to know the title and the author of this picture?

This picture was painted by Georges Braque and its title is Man with a Guitar .

Slide 16 (2)

Slide 16 (3)

Teacher: What geometric shapes did the artist use? (Students: The artist used triangles, squares, rectangles, cylinders, pyramids, cubes.)

Teacher: What can you say about the colours of the painting?

Students: Colours are dark, dull, brown, grey, grim

Students: The colours of the painting are dark and dull.

Students: The artist used mostly grey and brown colours.

Students: The picture is painted in grey and brown colours.

Teacher: What do you feel when you look at the picture?

Students: I feel sad, depressed, confused, unhappy, etc.

Students: I am becoming into a bad mood because of such grim colours.

Students: I have very conflicting feelings. From one side it is very interesting to know what the artist wanted to show us. And from other side I don’t understand why the artist showed somebody or something if anybody cannot realize who or what it is.

Students: But I suppose that it is very interesting to imagine yourself what or who is painted in this picture. And this image is depend on my mood, weather outdoors and other factors. Sometimes I can see here flowers and trees and sometimes an ugly robot.

Slide 17

Teacher

Georges Braque was a major 20th-century French painter, collagist, draughtsman, printmaker and sculptor.

Slide 18

Teacher: Here are some useful phrases to use while describing a picture. Try to put all the ideas together and describe this one.

Students1: The picture shows many different lines and shapes like squares and triangles that’s why the painting seems to have many layers. The artist used dull colours such as brown and grey. The painting makes me feel sad.

Students2: The artist used a lot of geometric shapes in brown and grey colours. A lot of lines are mixed and it is very difficult to understand what the artist wanted to express in this picture. I assume that he painted this picture in a difficult period of his life. The artist would not had painted a picture in such grim colours if he had been happy in that period of his life.

Students3: Maybe the artist wanted to show us an unhappy musician because he used grey, brown and dirty colours. I am very sad when I look at this picture, because I know perfectly that we see a tragedy of this man. I suppose that we see a street musician who earns his living in the streets of a big city where nobody knows each other and people don`t know about the problems of each other.

Students4:  What are we looking at here? The title tells us that it is a man with a guitar. In the center of the picture, little lines indicate where the guitar is, and then, a big diagonal, running from the right hand side down to the bottom left corner. Then we can see the actual shape of the figure. To the left of the picture that broad diagonal is the right arm bending in to touch the guitar. And the general pyramidal shape indicate the figure's face.

Teacher: Thanks a lot for your description. You tried to express us your feelings and emotions caused by this painting. Everyone has your own point of view and opinion about this style of art.

Slide 19

Teacher: Today I would like to introduce you with one of the famous artist. He is our contemporary. He is Joe Downing Menebes. Look at his pictures. How would you describe Joe Downing`s style of painting ?
