The landscape painters Turner and Constable were influential expo­nents of romanticism, an artistic movement of the late 1700s to mid-1800s that emphasized an emotional response to nature. Turner, who traveled ex­tensively, often infused his dramatic seascapes and landscapes with lite­rary or historical allusions. Constable, who never left England, preferred more straight forward depictions of placid rural scenery.

Working in the studio from sketches and his imagination, Turner blended his oil paints in fluid layers of translucent color, called glazes. Con­stable, sometimes painting directly outdoors, applied flickering touches of thick, opaque oils. Despite their differences in temperament and technique, Turner and Constable evoke the same worship of nature that imbues the literature of their contemporaries, the romantic poets Wordsworth, Co­leridge, Byron, Shelley, and Keats.

LESSON 67 MODERN ART

Дата

Цілі: вдосконалювати навички усного мовлення й читання; розвивати куль­туру спілкування й мовленнєву реакцію учнів; виховувати естетичний смак і загальну культуру учнів.

Procedure

1. Warm-up

Put up the modern art prints all around the classroom. Then ask your students to write down their thoughts about the art they have just seen. Once they have done this, go around the class and ask each student to make a brief statement about their impressions of the art prints. You can hear: I could paint that! A child could do that. What is it? What does it mean? It’s so simple. That’s not art!
