During the classes

I can’t imagine Russia without birch, -
she is so bright in Slavic,
that perhaps in other centuries
from the birch tree - all of Rus' was born.
Oleg Shestinsky

1. Psychological attitude. (The song “There was a birch tree in the field”)

2. Communicate the topic and objectives of the lesson. Today, in a literature and art lesson, we will take a short trip around the world and get acquainted with the artistic symbols of the peoples of the world, walk through the “land of birch chintz,” and reveal the meaning of the poetic symbol of Russia in poetry, painting, and music.

3. Learning new material.

Teacher:There are more than 250 countries on our planet, where several thousand different peoples live,each of which has its own traditions and characteristics.You've probably heard such combinations more than once: “German neatness”, “French gallantry”,“African temperament”, “coldness of EnglishLichan”, “the hot temper of the Italians”, “the hospitality of the Georgians”, etc.Behind each of them are characteristics and traits that have developed among a certain people over many years.

Well, what about artistic culture? Are there similarstable images and traits? Undoubtedly. Every nation has its own sym-oxen, reflecting artistic ideas about the world.

Imagine you have arrived in an unfamiliar country. What, first of all,would you be interested? Of course, what language is spoken here? What attractions will be shown first? What do they worship and believe in? What stories, myths and legends are told? How to danceand sing? And many many others.

What, for example, will they show you if you visit Egypt?

Student: D jealous pyramids, considered one of the wonders of the world and have long becomeshiye artistic symbol of this country.

Student:On a rocky plateaudeserts, casting clear shadows on the sand, for more than forty centuriesthere are three huge geometric bodies - impeccably correcttetrahedral pyramids, tombs of pharaohs Cheops, Khafre and Mikerina. Their original lining has long been lost, they were plunderedrowing chambers with sarcophagi, but neither time nor people could disturb their ideally stable form. Triangles of pyramids against the background ofblue skies are visible from everywhere, as a reminder of Eternity.

Teacher: If you have a meeting with Paris, you will definitely want to climb to the top of the famous Eiffel Tower, also becamea proud symbol of this amazing city. What do you know about her?

Student:Built in 1889year as a decoration of the World Exhibition, it initially caused indignation and indignation among Parisians. Contemporaries vying with each other shouted:

“We protest against this column covered with bolted sheet iron, against this ridiculous and dizzying factory chimney installed in the glory of industrial vandalism. The construction of this useless and monstrous Eiffel Tower in the very center of Paris is nothing more than a profanation...”

It is interesting that this protest was signed by very famous cultural figures: composer Charles Gounod, writers Alexandre Dumas, Guy de Maupassant... The poet Paul Verlaine said that this “skeletal calancha will not stand for long,” but his gloomy forecast was not destined to come true. The Eiffel Tower still stands and is a marvel of engineering.

Student:By the way, at that time it was the tallest building in the world, its height was 320 meters! The technical data of the tower is still amazing today: fifteen thousand metal parts connected by more than two million rivets form a kind of “iron lace”. Seven thousand tons rest on four supports and exert no more pressure on the ground than a person sitting on a chair. They were going to demolish it more than once, but it proudly rises above Paris, providing an opportunity to admire the sights of the city from a bird's eye view...

Teacher:What are the artistic symbols of the USA, China, Russia?

Student:The Statue of Liberty for the USA, the Imperial Palace “Forbidden City” for China, the Kremlin for Russia.

Teacher:But many peoples also have their own special, poetic symbols. Tell us about one of them?

Student:The fancifully curved branches of a low-growing cherry tree - sakura - are a poetic symbol of Japan.

If you ask:

What is the soul

Islands of Japan?

In the aroma of mountain cherries

At dawn.

Norinaga (Translation by V. Sanovich)

Teacher:What is it that attracts the Japanese so much about cherry blossoms? May be, an abundance of white and pale pink sakura petals on bare branches that have not yet had time to become covered with greenery?

Student:The beauty of the flowers faded so quickly!

And the charm of youth was so fleeting!

Life has passed in vain...

I look at the long rain

And I think: how in the world everything does not last forever!

Komati (Translation by A. Gluskina)

Student:The poet is attracted by the beauty of impermanence, fragility and fleetingness of life. The cherry blossoms quickly fade and youth is fleeting.

Teacher:What artistic technique does the author use?

Student:Personification. For the poet, a sakura flower is a living creature capable of experiencing the same feelings as a person.

Student:

Spring fog, why did you hide

Cherry flowers that are now flying around

On the mountain slopes?

Not only the shine is dear to us, -

And the moment of withering is worthy of admiration!

Tsurayuki (Translation by V. Markova)

Teacher:Comment out the lines.

Student:Sakura petals do not fade. Whirling merrily, they fly towardsthe ground from the slightest breath of wind and cover the ground before it even has time towither the flowers. The moment itself, the fragility of flowering, is important. Name-but this is the source of Beauty.

Teacher:Belostvol became an artistic poetic symbol of RussiaNaya birch.

I love Russian birch
Sometimes bright, sometimes sad,
In a bleached sundress,
With handkerchiefs in pockets,
With beautiful clasps
With green earrings.
I love how elegant she is
Then clear, ebullient,
Then sad, crying.
I love Russian birch.
Bends low in the wind
And it bends, but does not break!
A. Prokofiev.

Teacher:Probably, the Russian heart will never cease to be amazed at the unexpected and native beauty of the seemingly familiar birch tree. Already in adulthood, Igor Grabar said: “What could be more beautiful than the birch, the only tree in nature whose trunk is dazzlingly white, while all other trees in the world have dark trunks. Fantastic, supernatural tree, fairy tale tree. I passionately fell in love with Russian birch and for a long time I wrote almost exclusively about it.”

A student’s story about I. Grabar’s painting “February Azure.”

I. Grabar wrote his “February Blue” in the winter - spring of 1904, when he was visiting friends in the Moscow region. During one of his usual morning walks, he was struck by the holiday of the awakening spring, and subsequently, being already a venerable artist, very vividly told the story of the creation of this canvas. “I stood near a marvelous specimen of birch, rare in the rhythmic structure of its branches. Looking at her, I dropped the stick and bent down to pick it up. When I looked at the top of the birch from below, from the surface of the snow, I was stunned by the spectacle of fantastic beauty that opened before me: some chimes and echoes of all the colors of the rainbow, united by the blue enamel of the sky. Nature seemed to be celebrating some unprecedented festival of azure skies, pearl birches, coral branches and sapphire shadows on lilac snow.” It is not surprising that the artist passionately wanted to convey “at least a tenth of this beauty.”

Teacher: Guys, not only Grabar turned to the image of a beautiful birch, before you is an exhibition of works by artists, where the heroine is this beautiful tree. What mood do these artists’ reproductions exude?

What can you say about the artists' paintings?

Student:Cheerful, full of light, the birch tree in them is spiritualized.

Student: Kuindzhi “Birch Grove” (1879), - imbued with healthy and cheerful optimism. The artist captured jubilant, rain-washed nature, in its best, most luxurious summer time. The composition of the painting is original, the harmony of its pure colors is amazing.

Teacher.Birch. What kind of tree is this?

“Birch is a tree with white bark, hard wood and heart-shaped leaves,” the Explanatory Dictionary of the Russian Language dispassionately reports.

Perhaps an explanatory dictionary is supposed to be dispassionate.

But as for the Russian language, then, perhaps, not a single tree has deserved such a large number of epithets, comparisons, endearing phrases, or has been associated with such enthusiastic words as birch. This can be traced in oral folk art, and most of all - in Russian poetry, where the birch tree settled long ago, firmly and, it seems, forever.

Yesenin’s “country of birch chintz” is uniquely beautiful and dear to everyone’s heart. A country where you can wander for hours in a pine forest, drowning in a soft carpet of gray moss. In a country where tall juniper thickets grow. And on the swamp hummocks, cranberries and lingonberries bloom. A country where mysterious lakes lurk in the depths of the forest. A country where everything around you comes to life. The natural world is not only filled with colors, sounds, movement, but also animated.

Student: Good morning

The golden stars dozed off,

The mirror of the backwater trembled,

The light is dawning on the river backwaters

And blushes the sky grid.

The sleepy birch trees smiled,

Silk braids are disheveled,

Green earrings rustle

And the silver dews burn.

The fence is overgrown with nettles

Dressed in bright mother of pearl

And, swaying, whispers playfully:

"Good morning!"

Teacher: What images did you see in the poem?

Student:Star, birch, nettle.

Teacher:What figurative and expressive means are used to create the image of a birch?

Student:personification (the birches smiled, the braids were disheveled), epithets (sleepy birches, silk braids, silver dews), metaphors (the dews were burning, the braids were disheveled).

Teacher:Color painting is one of the characteristic features of Yesenin’s poems. What colors does he use to describe birch? What are “colored parts” needed for?

Student:Silver, green, others - mother-of-pearl. “Colorful details” help to understand the poet’s mood, sharpen feelings and thoughts, and reveal their depth.

Teacher:What mood is the poem permeated with?

Student:Romantic, upbeat, joyful, excited.

Teacher:In the poem "Green Hairstyle". (1918) the humanization of the appearance of the birch tree in Yesenin’s work reaches full development.

Student:Reading a poem

Teacher: Who is the poem about? What does birch look like?

Student: The birch tree becomes like a woman.

Green hairstyle,

Girlish breasts,

O thin birch tree,

Why did you look into the pond?

Teacher: What is the birch tree symbolized in Russian poetry?

Student: This is a symbol of beauty, harmony, youth; she is bright and chaste.

Teacher: In ancient pagan rituals, it often served as a “Maypole,” a symbol of spring. Yesenin, when describing folk spring holidays, mentions the birch tree in the meaning of this symbol in the poems “Trinity Morning...” (1914) and “The reeds rustled over the backwater...” (1914)

Teacher: What folk custom are we talking about in the poem “The reeds rustled over the backwaters...”

Student: The poem “The reeds rustled over the backwater” talks about an important and fascinating event of the Semitic-Trinity week - fortune-telling with wreaths.

The beautiful girl told fortunes at seven o'clock.

A wave unraveled a wreath of dodder.

The girls wove wreaths and threw them into the river. By the wreath that floated far away, washed ashore, stopped or sank, they judged the fate that awaited them (distant or nearby marriage, girlhood, death of the betrothed).

Oh, a girl won’t marry in the spring,

He intimidated her with forest signs.

Teacher: What overshadows the meeting of spring?

Teacher: With the help of what images is the motive of misfortune strengthened?

On planet Earth, more than two hundred and fifty countries, several thousand nations, nationalities, peoples - large and small - exist and interact with each other. And each of them has its own characteristics, customs and traditions, formed over the centuries. There are also artistic symbols of the peoples of the world that reflect their ideas about existence, religion, philosophy and other knowledge and concepts. In different countries they differ from each other, possessing the uniqueness and originality inherent in this or that piece of the planet. They do not directly depend on state power, but are sometimes formed during changes in authorities and rulers by the people themselves. What are the artistic symbols of the peoples of the world in the generally accepted understanding of this word?

Symbol

Roughly speaking, a symbol is an exaggerated sign. That is, an image, usually schematic and conventional, of an object, animal, plant, or concept, quality, phenomenon, idea. It is distinguished by a sacred context, a moment of normativity and social or religious-mystical spirituality expressed in the image (usually schematically and simplified).

Artistic symbols of the peoples of the world

Probably, each country has its own “man-made miracles” made by people. It is not for nothing that in the old days they singled out “seven miracles”, which were considered, of course, unique artistic symbols (the first list was compiled, it is believed, by Herodotus in the fifth century BC - there were only three miracles in it). These included the gardens of Babylon, the statue of Zeus, and others. The list varied over the centuries: some names were added, others disappeared. Many artistic symbols of the peoples of the world have not survived to this day. After all, in fact, at all times, various peoples had an immeasurable number of them. It’s just that the number seven was considered sacred, magical. Well, time has preserved today only a few symbols of the peoples of the world.

Artistic symbols of the peoples of the world - what are they? Imagine that you have arrived in an unfamiliar country. What will interest you first? What sights will they show you first? What do the people of this country worship and believe in? What stories, myths and legends are told? How do they dance and sing? And many many others. And many many others.

EGYPTIAN PYRAMIDS, tombs of Egyptian pharaohs. The largest of them, the pyramids of Cheops, Khafre and Mikerin in El Giza, were considered one of the Seven Wonders of the World in ancient times. The construction of the pyramid, in which the Greeks and Romans already saw a monument to the unprecedented pride of kings and cruelty that doomed the entire people of Egypt to meaningless construction, was the most important cult act and was supposed to express, apparently, the mystical identity of the country and its ruler.

Birch Grove

Why are you sad, birch grove?

What thought weighs on your mind?

I look at the light through the thick flowering crowns

And I listen to your green noise.

You rustle the leaves in alarm,

Hastening to open my whole soul again.

And I shake my head too,

I am unable to calm my bitter thoughts.

Here in Rus' there is no limit to sorrows...

Let's stand in silence, dear.

And everything you wanted to tell me,

And so I will understand by your tears.

Covered with snow

Exactly silver.

On fluffy branches

The brushes have blossomed

White fringe.

And the birch tree stands

In sleepy silence,

And the snowflakes are burning

In golden fire.

And the dawn is lazy

Walking around

sprinkles branches

New silver.

Teacher . White birches touch the soul not only of ours, but also of foreigners. After visiting Moscow, the famous football player Pele was asked what impressed and liked him most about Russia. He answered: “Birch trees.”

Teacher: Hundreds of years will pass, but the birch tree will symbolize our immortal and mighty homeland.

Now let’s turn to the artistic symbols of our small homeland.

What do you think will be the symbol of the Varna region? That's right, Tamerlane's Tower.

Student. The mausoleum was built on a hill near a dry lake near the regional center of Varna.

The tower was built in the 14th century. This is a rare example of early Muslim architecture in the Southern Urals. In addition to Kesene, similar mausoleums are known in Bashkiria: the mausoleums of Turakhan and Husein-Bek. There are hundreds of small mounds around the mausoleum.

The mausoleum building itself is located on a rectangular area, bounded by a moat and a rampart. It is built from flat square baked bricks and looks like a 12-sided pyramid mounted on a 12-sided prism. The prism rests on a low cylinder: below is the main building of the cubic mausoleum. The entrance on the south side is decorated with a portal.
