- Do you like them? What do you  feel?  

 

- Oh, what beautiful pictures. The colors are bright, the scenes are picturesque. They paintings are poetic, naturalistic , attractive.  They reflect tranquility and the eternal beauty of Russian nature.

 

- what can you say about the artist, can you characterize him?

 

- The artist is generous and kind, quiet, optimistic, successful.

 

- Who is the artist?

 

-It is Isaac Ilyich Levitan.

 

-You are right. Isaac Ilyich Levitan is a classical Russian landscape painter who advanced the genre of the "mood landscape".

 

- Let’s go to the second hall. Follow me. (делают круг и начинается музыка)

 

-What do you feel now?

 

 -  Nonsense. The paintings are obscure  and unintelligible, gaudy  , depressing  mystic.  But these pictures make a strong impression. 

 

- What can you say about the artist?

 

- He is crazy, extraordinary, nervous, extravagant, provocative  maybe ambitious, independent and no doubt he is an original and imaginative person.

 

- Salvador Dali………………( пауза)       He  is considered as the greatest artist of the surrealist art movement and one of the greatest masters of art of the twentieth century. 

 

- Let’s imagine we are in Spain and try to understand Spain world influence in Art. (музыка, танец)

 

- What would the world look like without the influence of Salvador Dali , the man who revolutionized the art world as much as the Renaissance’s Michelangelo once did? Who knows, as it’s hard to imagine a world without  Surrealism.

 

-The Paranoiac Critical method was developed by Salvador Dali. It was defined by Dali himself as "irrational knowledge" based on a "delirium of interpretation". 

 It is the ability of the artist or the viewer to perceive multiple images within the same configuration.

 

- Dali elevated this uniquely human characteristic into his own artform. Dali was able to create what he called "hand painted dream photographs" which were physical, painted representations of the hallucinations and images he would see while in his paranoid state.  Recurring images of burning giraffes and melting watches became the artist's surrealist trademarks.

 

-Dalí employed extensive symbolism in his work. For instance, the hallmark "soft watches" that first appear in The Persistence of Memory suggest Einstein's theory that time is relative and not fixed.^[25]

-The elephant is also a recurring image in Dalí's works. The egg is another common Dalíesque image. He connects the egg to the prenatal and intrauterine, thus using it to symbolize hope and love;Various animals appear throughout his work as well: ants point to death, decay,  ; the snail is symbol of waste and fear.^[60]

-have you ever heard that he created films? He created pieces of artwork such as Destino, on which he collaborated with Walt Disney.   it contains dreamlike images of strange figures flying and walking.  Look at the screen please. (ролик)

-Dalí was a versatile artist. Some of his more popular works are sculptures and other objects, and he is also noted for his contributions to theatre, fashion, and photography, among other areas.

-Two of the most popular objects of the surrealist movement were Lobster Telephone and Mae West Lips Sofa

 

-Dalí built a repertoire in the fashion. Dalí was produced a white dress with a lobster print, a shoe-shaped hat and a pink belt with lips for a buckle. He was also involved in creating textile designs and perfume bottles.

 

-Dalí created an ensemble of 39 jewels. The jewels are intricate, and some contain moving parts. The most famous jewel, "The Royal Heart

 

-Dear guests, nowadays we can admire  Dali’s paintings in museums all over the world, we can  watch films, women can wear extravagant dresses and hats, jewels, use perfume. No doubt Salvador Dali  makes a strong impression n you. You like him, you hate him, but you are not indifferent .Thank you for your attention. We hope you liked our excursion to Spain.

 

- We want give you little presents. These candies are popular among children "Chupa Chups”. But I think nobody knows that Salvador Dali designed the Chupa Chups logo.  

What would the world look like without the influence of Salvador Dali?
