THE APPROACHING STORM BY G. MORLAND

George Morland (1763-1804) was an outstanding English artist of  the 18th century and a brilliant painter of landscape. Like many artists, he turned to nature for inspiration. He had an instinctive feeling for nature. Among his pictures The Approaching Storm is truly remarkable. It is, indeed, a masterpiece of the world painting. Looking at the picture, you can easily understand how keenly the artist felt nature in every detail. He was able to impart a sinister atmosphere of the coming storm. You feel the threatening silence before the storm. The sky is overcast. The first gust of wind shakes the trees, the next moment it will start raining. The artist enlivens the landscape by two horses and a dog huddling1 together in a little group, seeking protection from a man in danger. This landscape is a typical example of sentimental and poetic painting.

3.               Vocabulary builder. Revise word formation.

T: Let’s work with vocabulary. Complete the sentences using the words from the box. Read me only the sentences which connected with painting.

Учні виконують вправу  та зачитують необхідні речення.

T: Talking about art we usually use a lot of adjectives. Do you agree? Name some of them. Can you name me the adjective suffixes? What are the meanings of these suffixes? For example, FULL – має якість, властивість, позначену основою. Less – відсутність якості чи ознаки. Able – можливість здійснення, наявність якості, позначеною основою.  IVE- такий, що стосується, належить до чого-небудь. AL- властивість, подібність, наявність якості. OUS- той, що значною мірою має властивість, ознаку чи характеристику. Now work individually to make the adjectives using the suffixes that they are given and write them in the table in your notebooks. We’ll take only some words (fame, value, profession, use, create, effect, recognize). The others you’ll do at home.

Translate the word combinations: цінний витвір мистецтва, відомий скульптор, непрофесійний ескіз, творчий письменник, впізнавана картина, марна робота.

Additional task: make up sentences or word combinations with these words.
