Styles of painting
Objectives: 1. Teaching students to understand the differences between the
styles of visual art.
2. Organizing original research work on the text
3. Practice in listening
4. Speaking practice
Equipment: a computer and a screen for demonstrating slides on; slides;
loudspeakers; audio disc to the English course; blanks with tables for
filling in; textbooks; the presentation “Edgar Degas”
Development of the lesson
1. Greeting the students (1 min)
2. Warmingup activity ( some motivating task, it may be a talk on some uptodate
event or some purpose communicative task: a guessing game, a problem situation
or any other selfdisclosing activities.)
e.g.
– How did you spend your weekend?
–Who went to the Congresscentre to see the ballet ”Swan Lake” on
Saturday?
What are your impressions?
Do you think laymen can understand art?
(Students come to the conclusion that everybody can understand art in his own
way and according to his development)
(3 min)
3. Announcing of the objectives of the lesson
There are as many ways of making pictures as there are artists. Painters often
show their preference to a particular genre and style, they create their pieces
following particular tendencies and art movements. Today we are going to
analyze different styles in painting and learn how to tell one style from the other.
Then you’ll listen to the tape and learn about one of the greatest French painters
and have a talk on his biography and creative work. (1 min)
4. Work with the textbook (informative reading)
Will you take you books and find the text “Old and New Art” on page 13? Before
the text there is a column of words, can you guess their meaning? Read them
paying attention to the stresses, please:
abstract art
romanticism
cubism
expressionism
impressionism classicism
realism
(1 min)
The text tells us about styles in painting and gives the representatives of art
tendencies. Will you look through the text?
(Students scan the text) (2 min)
Now each of you will get an individual card with a table in it, your task is to fill in
the table using the text. In the columns you are to put down the distinguishing
features of the art styles.
abstract art
romanticism cubism
expressionism impressionism classicism realism
surrealism
(The work will result in a table like this)
abstract art
It doesn’t
show real

but only

(810 min)
5. The use of the new knowledge
So, you’ve finished your research work, you’ve made the classification of the
characteristic features of different tendencies in art, and I’m sure that now you
can tell one art style from the other. Here are some pieces of visual art, you are to
recognize their styles, use your tables if you need.
(The computer is switched on and reproductions of different painters are
projected on the screen, students name the art styles)
(Приложение 1 “Old and New Art”)
(5min)
6. Reflection on personal experience
Do you think you’ve got any new knowledge at the lesson? Can you use it? So,
you can explain the difference between the styles to any layman now, can’t you?
(1min)
7. Practice on listening
Now, you’ll listen to a text about one of the best representatives of the French
impressionism Edgar Degas. Find ex.5 on page 8, look at the statements and say if
they are true, false or not mentioned..
(Afanasyeva O.V. CD to the course, track 3) (Students listen to the text twice if it is necessary and do ex.5, p.8)
(47 min)
8. Speaking practice
Now we’ll watch the presentation about Edgar Degas but there’ll be only slides
but no texts to them. So, your task is to comment the slides using the information
about the painter from the previous exercise.
( Приложение 2,
presentation)
(Students watch the presentation, more skillful ones comment on the slides while
watching it for the next time. Then the teacher can give his own variant of the texts
to the slides as the example) (Приложение 3,
presentation)
(10 min)
9. Summing up
You homework for the next lesson is to prepare a short report on one of art styles
we’ve learned today, it will be the basis for your future presentation on any art
style and you’ve just seen the example of it. You are to name the representatives
and the most important works of the style you’ve chosen.
You marks today…
Have you any questions? So, I wish good luck, see you! “Gymnasia”
