Section 1 Introduction	Greetings. Teacher: Good morning, children! Nice to meet you on our lesson. Tell me, please, what date is it today? What day of the week is it today? What is the weather today? (Today is ... ) 2. Set the topic of the lesson. Set the aim of the lesson. Active speaking skills. Teacher: Have you ever been in art gallery? Have you got favourite paintings \ artists? (ответы учащихся) Let’s watch a video, after that you’ll answer my question (Просмотр видео и изображений. Учитель предлагает просмотреть небольшой видеоролик и сравнить несколько изображений, а затем сформулировать тему урока). According to these pictures and that video tell me what is the theme of our lesson today? You’ll see several variants of it. Choose the best one. -         The underwater world. -         Methods of painting. -         Styles of painting and Optical illusions. Students: . Painting styles. Teacher: So, today we are going to speak about art, painting in particular. We shall learn interesting information about some painting styles, we shall practice our skills in describing pictures. And our first  wow-factor is this picture. Look at the screen.  T: What can you see in this picture?   S:  (Students’ answers)  T:  How many whales can you see?  S:  (Students’ answers)  T:  Different numbers of whales but the right answer is 13. I can say when I tried to find 13 Let’s check. ( I show 13 whales in the picture.) What do we pay our attention to  when we see the picture at first?  S: ( 5 whales) Can you explain why?  S: - The  images are large. -They are in the foreground. - The images are accurate and clear, real and bright. T: What about the colours of the picture? S:  The colours are mostly white, black, grey with different shades of grey colour. T: What about the background of this picture.  S: First it seems that the background is water, seaweed and other sea-plants but  if we look at this picture with concentration we begin to distinguish or even discover images of other whales.   T: What methods and ways were used by the author to play such tricks with our eyes? S:  Representation main images in the foreground. -         Using contrasting colours. -         Using different combinations of light, shade and penumbra.  T: It allows us to see objects in tree dimensions even though they are in the picture is only two dimensional. S: -         When we look at them we have a sense of motion.  T: Diagonal    disposition  of main images, the curve of their bodies, air-bubbles  around the whales – all these things create such perception. They are dynamic.  What conclusion can we make from our conversation? S:  - When we first look at a picture we can see one thing but when we continue to stare at it we can see something else. -
Section 2	T: You are quite right . We notice  such things but forget about them very quickly. But there are people among us who watch our world more attentively, take an interest in these things. Besides they have bright and vivid imagination to create images which  make bigger impression on us and  they show people real objects in surprising and unusual ways. What are they? S:   Artists, photographers, designers and etc.
Section 3	T: During our lessons we discussed Art. Look at the blackboard and use the words to complete the spidergram. p.31 There are several painting styles. What are they? S:  Cubism, Surrealism, Pop art. T: And your homework was to create a mini-project about one of these styles. Who has a desire to represent it to us. S: (Students’ projects) Cubism-presentation/ T: Thanks a lot. Now open your  exercise-books ,wtite down the date and day of the week. Open your books at page 54 ex 4. I would like you to read the texts and revise our word formation , some prefixes and suffixes in particular. You know how to do this kind of the task: You have got 2 minutes. (учащиеся работают с текстами и выполняют задание на словообразование) Teacher: before you read these texts aloud, we will listen to and check your word formation. (включается аудиозапись текстов, учащиеся проверяют себя) so which words have you formed?  Let`s listen to the text. Let` s read the text and write the words. Now answer my questions-ex 5 Look at the screen and watch the film about Pablo Picasso T: Who wants to tell us about surrealism? Presentation Let`s listen to the text further. Let` s read the text and write the words. Look at the screen and watch the film about Salvador Dali. Let’s know more information about him. T: Let` s get more information about  Pop art. Presentation
Section 4	T: And now we’ll try to describe two paintings of different styles. Before this task let’s review the structures with modal verbs (must be, can’t be, may be ) which we can use in our descriptions.
Making assumptions, using modal verbs:    must, can’t, may 1       The painting may/can’t be oil on canvas. 2       The painting must/can’t be quite old. 3       The room may/must be the kitchen. 4       The woman may/must be married. 5       She must/ can’t be rich. 6       She may/must be making breakfast. b) ex 8 Read the description.(читаем и переводим) Students: The description matches paining A. The author feels sad looking at this painting. Описываем 2 картину- ex 9 This picture shows many strange shapes and objects. I can see swans on a smooth lake but they have the reflection of elephants in the lake. The lake is surrounded by a rocky landscape and unusual trees with a clear blue sky. The artist has used bright colours in shades of blue, brown and yellow. This painting makes me feel curious about how Dali came up with the idea.
Section 5	I`ll give you 2 pictures . It will be a group work. When describing pictures , describe them as fully as you can. If it is possible, you should mention: -          style -         subject -         location -         season -         weather -         what is in the foreground/background -         colours -         feelings S: Students work in groups, describing pictures
	T: Which picture was more difficult to describe? S- The second one. Because we can see no objects, only lines, spots of different colours. We can only say about out thoughts, assumptions,  feelings,  atmosphere . T: The painting style of this picture is abstract art. We didn’t talk about this style and it will be your homework to find information  about it on the Net and prepare a mini-project for the next lesson.
Section 6	T: - Vision is the most creative act. Our mind is an artist, it interprets and reconstructs our near environment. Now we’ll try to illustrate  that our mind is an artist and we, together with our mind, are artists too. We’ll do a very creative task. Each team has the sets of the same elements. They are geometric shapes. Your task is to create a picture and name it if it’s possible. To do this task each team has to choose the background for its picture. They are in different colours. Come up  and choose . S: ( Do the task. ) T  Now. look at your works at art.
Section 6 The creative practical task	The same object in the painting by Pablo Picasso. And the real object, a musical instrument –the guitar. We can see how this real object can be transformed and represented by  different personalities.  В своей работе художник изобразил гитару. Он не хотел передавать истинный внешний вид музыкального инструмента. Пикассо разложил объект работы на отдельные элементы, представляющие собой простые геометрические формы. Эти формы он собрал в одной картине.
	This painting is called  The Guitar. …painted it in 1912. It shows ….. The painter uses … colours. The painting makes me feel…  .

Section 7 Conclusion	Today we have talked about painting  but in reality we have talked about the world around us because all works of arts can not be created without objects existing around us. But at times we are really “blind” in the truest sense of  the world.  We don’t see what we don’t pay attention to even when it is in front of our eyes. Open your eyes, open your  mind and the world pops in it. Look and watch. It is amazing!
