ОСНОВНА ЧАСТИНА УРОКУ

Song.

1) Бесіда з учнями.

T: Today we'll learn a song by Don McLean called «Vincent». Do you know any artist

with this name? What do you know about Vincent Van Gogh? Have you ever seen

any of his pictures (reproductions of his pictures)?

2) Розповідь учителя.

Т: Vincent Van Gogh was born in the Netherlands in 1853. Van Gogh created selfportraits and paintings of flowers and scenery. His colours became even more brilliant after he moved to southern France in 1888. He portrayed his own room in Bedroom at Arles in bright yellow, blue, and red. However, no one liked his paintings. No other artist had painted quite like Van Gogh. He used vivid colours and thick strokes of paint to express his feelings about what he was painting. He didn't try to copy his subjects accurately. Often his work seems brooding and threatening. His landscapes are full of twisted shapes. Some of his most beautiful works were done while he was hospitalized for depression. Examples are Starry Night and Crows in a Wheatfield. Van Gogh died in 1890, after shooting himself. He left behind 750 paintings and 1,600 drawings. Gradually people began to appreciate these works. They became extremely valuable. In 1990, a Van Gogh painting sold for $82.5 million. This was the highest price anyone had ever paid for a painting at an art auction. But in 2004, a painting by Pablo Picasso set a new record of $104 million.

3) Ознайомлення з текстом пісні.

Учні отримують картки (НО1), самостійно читають текст пісні, з'ясовуючи значення нових слів за допомогою вчителя. Потім вони слухають пісню, а вчитель показує репродукції картин Ван Гога або проводить презентацію картин і пісні в Powerpoint. Далі учні відповідають на запитання вчителя.

Read the text of the song.

VINCENT

Starry, starry night.

Paint your palette blue and grey,

Look out on a summer's day,

With eyes that know the darkness in my soul.

Shadows on the hills,

Sketch the trees and the daffodils,

Catch the breeze and the winter chills,

In colors on the snowy linen land.

Now I understand what you tried to say to me,

How you suffered for your sanity,

How you tried to set them free.

They would not listen, they did not know how.

Perhaps they'll listen now.

Starry, starry night.

Flaming flowers that brightly blaze,

Swirling clouds in violet haze,

Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue.

Colors changing hue, morning field of amber grain,

Weathered faces lined in pain

Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand.

Now I understand what you tried to say to me,

How you suffered for your sanity,T: What words and phrases does the singer use to describe Van Gogh's pictures? Doeshe consider these pictures to be beautiful? Do you like Van Gogh's pictures? Which one is your favourite?

НО1:

How you tried to set them free.

They would not listen, they did not know how.

Perhaps they'll listen now.

For they could not love you,

But still your love was true.

And when no hope was left in sight

On that starry, starry night,

You took your life, as lovers often do.

But I could have told you, Vincent,

This world was never meant for one

As beautiful as you.

Starry, starry night.

Portraits hung in empty halls,

Frameless head on nameless walls,

With eyes that watch the world and can't forget.

Like the strangers that you've met,

The ragged men in the ragged clothes,

The silver thorn of bloody rose,

Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.

Now I think I know what you tried to say to me,

How you suffered for your sanity,

How you tried to set them free.

They would not listen, they're not listening still.

Perhaps they never will...

(By Don McLean)

Read the text about Pablo Picasso and Claude Monet; then read the statemens aboutthese painters and divide them into two groups: those describing Pablo Picasso and the facts about Claude Monet.

PABLO PICASSO

Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) is probably one of history's most famous names. He was a Spanish painter and sculptor and perhapsНО3:

the most recognized figure in twentieth century art. He is best known for starting the Cubist style. Among his most famous works is the painting of the German bombing of the Spanish city of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War.

Picasso was born into a middle-class family. He took after his father, who was also a painter and a professor of art. From the age of seven, Picasso had formal art lessons from his father. Picasso threw everything into art and his school grades went down. Aged 16, the family sent Picasso to study at Madrid's Royal Academy of Art.

Picasso moved to Paris in 1900. It was difficult for him to make a living. In 1911, he was questioned by the police for stealing the Mona Lisa. In the summer of 1918, Picasso married ballerina Olga Khokhlova. She introduced him to the rich people of Paris in the 1920s. He became a celebrity and a very respected artist. Picasso also acted in movies and always played himself in his film appearances. He became famous for his anti-war views. His painting Guernica showed the horror of war. He publicly opposed America's involvement in the Italian War. After his death, the French state kept many of his paintings. Today, much of his works hang in a collection at the Musée Picasso in Paris.

CLAUDE MONET

Claude Monet was born in Paris, but grew up in Le Havre. His first artistic output were caricatures when he was a little boy. Close to his home was a little shop owned by a marine painter, Mr Eugene Boudin. He recognized the talent of the boy and gave him his first painting lessons. Claude's family was not very happy about his

vocation for painting. In 1860 he was drafted and had to go to Northern Africa for two years. After his return from Africa he went to Paris and took painting lessons at Gleyre's studio in Paris. At the studio he got to know Auguste Renoir, Sisley, Bazille and others. The nucleus of the future Impressionist movement was born. Soon

Monet turned away from the traditional style of painting inside a studio. With his

new friends he went outside in the Fontainebleau forest to paint in the open air. But

the public and art critics ridiculed these new paintings that looked so different from

any conventional art style.

In a caricature published in a newspaper, they were mocked with the proposal of

chasing away the Prussian enemy by showing them Impressionist paintings - not

The nucleus of the future Impressionist movement was born. Soon

Monet turned away from the traditional style of painting inside a studio. With his new friends he went outside in the Fontainebleau forest to paint in the open air. But the public and art critics ridiculed these new paintings that looked so different from any conventional art style. In a caricature published in a newspaper, they were mocked with the proposal of chasing away the Prussian enemy by showing them Impressionist paintings - not very nice! When the Franco-Prussian war of 1870-1871 broke out, Monet chose to go to London with his friend Pissarro. There he saw the paintings of WilliamTurner in the museums of London. After 1880 the public slowly begun to recognize the value of impressionism. Claude Monet and his friends could finally get some solid income from the sales of their paintings. In 1883 Monet rented a house in Giverny

about 50 kilometers outside of Paris. Later, in 1890, he bought the house where he should stay until his death in 1926.

In 1890 Monet began to paint systematically the same subjects under different light conditions. The first subject were the haystacks behind his house. As the light changed during the day faster than he could paint, he worked simultaneously on several canvases. At the end he had painted 25 different versions of the haystacks. More of

the series paintings followed - the Rouen Cathedral, views of Venice or the Thames in London with the Houses of Parliament and other landmarks in London - often in the fog.

In his late years Claude Monet suffered from physical problems. After 1907 a bad eyesight and rheumatism made it more and more impossible for him to paint. But he continued until the year of his death. In February 1926, at the age of 83, he could finish the last great challenge of his life - a commission by the French

Government for 22 mural paintings of water lilies. On December 5, 1926 Claude Monet died from lung cancer.

MADAM TUSSAUD'S MUSEUM

Madam Tussaud's is the most popular and talked about wax museum in the world. Here are wax models of the famous and infamous, both living and dead, from every walk of life. There is no other place where you can see all the celebrities at once, even if they are only wax figures. So, if you want to rub shoulders with kings and queens or the latest pop stars, or probably with notorious criminals, this is the place to go. The museum is situated in Marylebone Road, not far from the street which is famous as the home of the first great detective in fiction, Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes. There is usually a long queue in front of the museum. No wonder! Many tourists would consider their trip to London worthless if they didn't visit the famous Madam Tussaud's. There are several halls at Madam Tussaud's. Highlights include the Grand Hall, the Chamber of Horrors and «The Spirit of London» exhibition. The wax figures are standing and sitting, and sometimes even moving and talking. They are extremely

realistic and when they look at you, their eyes sparkling, you often feel uncomfortable in their company. Computer-controlled figures (they are called audioanimatronics) are especially popular with the visitors.

New models are being produced all the time while the old ones are quietly removed from display. Over the years hundreds of celebrities have made their way to Madam Tussaud's studio. Most people agree to be portrayed, but some refuse. Mother Teresa was one of the few who declined, saying her work was important, not her person.НО2:

2. Which of the statements are true and which ones are false?

1) The text describes some of London's museums.

2) Not everybody agrees to be created in wax.

3) The exhibits are on display in several rooms.

4) Only figures of dead persons are displayed in that museum.

5) Many visitors are eager to look at the figures of outstanding personalities, that's why there are always crowds of people near the entrance.

- Wonderful! Though I think that the boat's rolling is depicted too realistically.

- «Too realistically» you say? But that is undoubtedly the strongest point of the canvas!

- You can never tell! It resembles high seas so much that I feel seasick each time I look at it.

DISCUSSING A LANDSCAPE

- How do you find his new landscape painting?

- Mediocre, one wouldn't dub them otherwise.

- I don't care much of them either. I think something is going wrong with his brilliant technique and rich palette. Well, you might talk to him about it. You seem to be on friendly talks, don't you?

- Yes, we do, but my criticism will do more harm than good. He's become very nervous and obstinate. Besides, artists seldom hear anybody else but themselves.

1. Read the text below. Match choices (A-F) to (1-6).

CINEMA IN LONDON

1. ______________

It can be difficult to go to the cinema in London, because there are too many films

and cinemas to choose from! Most of the central cinemas are around Leicester

Square, showing big blockbuster movies, you can wander around and see which

film takes your fancy. There's lots of information telling you what's on if you

look on the Internet or in «Time Out» magazine. But be warned - seeing a film

can be an expensive night out in the center of town!

2) ______________

The cheapest cinema in Leicester Square is «The Prince Charles». This cinema

often shows films a few weeks later than some of the others, so if you don't mind

being a bit behind the times and want to save a couple of quid this could be the

place for you. If you become a member (£5 per year), you can see films from as

little as £1.50, very good value for money!

3) ______________

Leicester Square is also the home to star-studded opening nights. People think

waiting (often out in the cold) is worth a glimpse of Tom Cruise, Julia Roberts

or Brad Pitt as they step out of their Limousines to attend the first night of their

new movie. Watch out for the screaming fans.

4) ______________

There are other smaller art-house cinemas in town; one of these is «Metro Cinema» on Rupert Street in Soho. It shows a wide variety of movies but tends not to show more mainstream films. These films are made by independent film makers and are not aimed at mass audiences. Every year it also has the Latin American Film Festival. Another art-house cinema is the «Curzon Soho»; «Time Out» readers recently voted this as London's number one cinema. It also shows a broad range of art-house films.

5) ______________

Every year London has its own film festival in November (www.rlff.com), you can

see lots of premieres, listen to directors discussing the film and maybe see some

stars too! There is also the lesbian and gay film festival, which runs in April (www.

llgff.org.uk). You usually need to book tickets well in advance.

6) ______________

London's oldest Cinema institution is the NFT (National Film Theatre). In October

2002 it celebrated its 50th birthday. It shows all kinds of films from silent classics

to film festival hits. Many big-name film makers have visited, from Woody Allen

and Quentin Tarantino to Jaques Tati (who couldn't find the toilet and was

photographed using the wall outside!). (www.bfi.org.uk).

As you can see, going to the cinema in London requires a lot of thinking about,

maybe you want to see a famous star, or perhaps a film by your favourite director,

or just sit, eat popcorn and enjoy the latest Hollywood action movie. If you take

the time to look, there's something for everyone.

A. See the Films First D. Arty

B. A London Classic E. A Big Night Out

C. The Stars Come Out at Night F. Films on a Budget

GOING TO SEE A BALLET

- Would you like to see the ballet «Carmen» next month?

- I'd love to. Is it going to be very expensive?

- A ticket is thirty-two pounds. So for two of us it will be sixty-four.

- And what about Becky?

- Becky? Becky hates ballet!

- No, our daughter simply doesn't understand it. OK, we'll take her to the theatre next time. Well, then sixty-four pounds for two tickets.

- When are we going to the ballet?

- When is it on?

- It's only on for two nights - on August the third and the fourth, it's at the weekend next month.

- Let it be Sunday the fourth.

- Fine. Where would you like to sit - stalls or circle?

- Definitely not the circle. Stalls.

- OK. Then I'm booking the tickets for Sunday the fourth.
