II. The main part of the lesson
1.Introducing the topic
-T; The topic of our lesson is “Art”. “Paintings And Art Museums”
-T; Do you know what does the word “Art “ mean?
Slide 1 The Oxford Dictionary of Current English by Horby gives us the
following definition: “ Art is the creation or an expression of what is beautiful , especially in visual form. Really , when something is extremely
beautiful or has a great cultural value , we say: “ It`s art”.
-T.: We live in a time of endless wars , economical and political crises , in
a time of ignorance and intolerance cruelty and violence. We are sick and tired of it and we want to escape from our daily monotonous routine , to wash away the dust from our souls and hearts and art will help to do this .
-So , the motto of our lesson is : “ Beauty will save the world”
T.: Your homework was to find out :Why do people like art? And find some quotations about art . So , let`s listen to them. Two groups make presentations
of their projects. Here are some of them:
--As I work at my drawings, day after day, what seemed unattainable before is now gradually becoming possible. Slowly, I'm learning to observe and measure. I don't stand quite so helpless before nature any longer.
― Vincent van Gogh in "Lust for Life"
A work of art which did not begin in emotion is not art.
― Paul Cezanne
Art is never finished, only abandoned.
― Leonardo da Vinci
There is no must in art because art is free.
― Wassily Kandinsky
To my mind a picture should be something pleasant, cheerful and pretty. There are too many unpleasant things in life as it is without creating still more of them.
― Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Art is the lie that enables us to realize the truth.”
― Pablo Picasso
“A painter should begin every canvas with a wash of black, because all things in nature are dark except where exposed by the light.”
― Leonardo da Vinci
“I dream my painting and I paint my dream.”
― Vincent Willem van Gogh
“Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.”
― Pablo Picasso
“A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of his life, in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human soul.”
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Art is the only serious thing in the world. And the artist is the only person who is never serious.”
― Oscar Wilde
“ Art is long and life is short” - H. Longfellow
