In groups, discuss the following items.

  1. What makes good art? Do you think art can be great if it is not linked with the people's lives, their interests and ideals? Give your reasons.

  2. How does art help us understand the outside world?

  3. What purpose does true art serve?

  4. Share your opinions: Real art appeals to the heart and mind of man,

to his feelings and ideals and it proclaims life. Art is life, pretence of art is death.

  1. True art elevates the mind and the soul of the people.

Do the project ‘A Gallery of Compositions’ and write about your vision of art's role in modern society. Follow the instructions below.

  1. Read what is said by Carolyn Wardle about art and its functions and

think if you agree or disagree. Decide if you agree with all the points or

only with some of them.

  1. Think what you are going to add in order to expand the information from the quotation by giving your own examples and opinions and making a general comment on the subject. Draw a spidergraph of the ideas you are about to develop in your composition, if you find it helpful and necessary to do.

    Write a list of expressions, which may be useful when you are going to express agreement or disagreement in your composition.

  3. Write a draft copy of your composition. It should contain about 90 words. Check it carefully for grammar and vocabulary mistakes. Look also at how you have expressed and justified your opinion. Look at how your ideas are expressed (if it is clear what you want to say or not) and organised in the paragraphs.

  4. Make all necessary corrections and write a neat copy of your composition.

  5. In a group, arrange a gallery of works. Compare your composition with one or two works of your classmates and make judgement1 on the following.

  • Whose composition is the most interesting one for the reader?

  • Whose thoughts and ideas expressed in it are the most original ones?

  • Whose ideas are expressed and organised in a very clear and thoughtful way?

  • Who is the best at finding examples to support his or her point of view?

  • Who has made no or only few grammar or vocabulary mistakes?

  • Whose spelling is the best one?

  • What are the strong and weak points of each of you as a writer?

  1. Share your views on your classmates' works in your class.

SPEAKING ABOUT ART

Reviews are brief descriptions of books, films, CDs, TV programmes, etc. They can be either formal or semi-informal in style, depending on the type of publications they appear in and who the target readers are. They are published in newspapers, journals, periodicals or magazines.

The purpose of a review is twofold: to inform readers, viewers or listeners, and to express an opinion or recommendation about a book, a film or a TV programme. Therefore, reviews not only describe, but also evaluate books, films, TV programmes or CDs.

A review usually consists of:

  • an introduction which briefly states all the background information concerning a book / film / TV programme, etc. (the title, the type, the author or director, the theme, main characters, etc.);

  • a body consisting of two or more paragraphs giving an outline of the plot (you should NOT under any circumstances reveal the end), including an evaluation of and comments on various features, such as the direction, acting, cast, main characters, plot, sound effects, screen play, special effects, music, etc., or to put it briefly, all the good and bad points of the film, book, etc.;

  • a conclusion which includes a general assessment and/or a recommendation supported by relev;

We often use present tenses when reviewing a film, a book, etc. to make the description vivid and lively. We also use a variety of adjectives to make it more interesting and appealing to the reader.
