1/Today we spend our lesson in the world of art and music. I think it would be interesting and useful for you. Welcome to the meeting with wonders.


2/ Look around. We can enjoy many beautiful things in our everyday life: autumn rain and a bright sun, falling leaves and blooming flowers, flying birds and a blue sky, colorful rainbow and swimming clouds.


3/ But we are also able to enjoy different types of art.

How do you understand the meaning of the word – art?

Art is indeed a great power , especially if it appeals to the heat and mind of man, to his feelings and ideals and if it proclaims life. Art is truthful only when it serves life, only when the artist hopes to arouse a warm response in the heart of man.


Art is a great source of pleasure in our lives.

Art affects us in many ways.

Even a passing acquaintance with art can enrich and deepen our understanding of the world around us.

Art may invoke a gamut of feelings from a smile to indignation.

Art gives people an opportunity to show their individuality and represent who are we.

Art is the expression of the heart.

With art we can relive the inner emotions and allow the world to enjoy and share feelings and thoughts.


  • 4/ What can be concerned to art?

  • Painting

  • Sculpture

  • Architecture

  • Music

Can cinema be concerned to art?

Cinema plays an important role in the life of any person. It is an available popular form of art. Lots of people find going to the cinema, one of the best way of spending their leisure time. The movie audience is predominantly a young one.


5/Where can you see works of art?

You can see works of art in galleries and museums. They impress us by the unique combination of the past and the present.

When you go to a picture gallery or to an exhibition, you are deeply impressed by the works of different artists who show a truthful relationship between art and life. Pictures bring to the strength of the human spirit, the beauty of man. Such art helps us to understand the outside world, it cultivates a person’s artistic taste.


What is your attitude to the classical and modern art? Can you appreciate it?

We appreciate classic art. But we have trouble understanding of modern art. An abstract painting isn’t easy to understand. But it can help in the artistic education of people. Art of this kind can not be great because it is not connected with the life of people, their interests and ideals.

THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC.

I’m nothing special

In fact I’m a bit of a bore

If I tell a joke

You’ve probably heard it before

But I have a talent

A wonderful thing

cause everyone listens when I start to sing

I’m so grateful and proud

All I want is to sing it out loud

So I say

Thank you for the music

The songs I’m singing

Thank you for all the joy

They’re bringing

Who can live without it

I ask in all honesty

What would life be

Without a song or a dance what are we

So I say thank you for the music

For giving it to me.

Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk

She says I began to sing long before I could talk

And I often wondered how did it all start

Who found out that nothing

Can capture a heat

Like a melody can

Well, who ever it was, I’m a fan

So I say

Thank you for the music

The songs I’m singing

Thank you for all the joy

They’re bringing

Who can live without it

I ask in all honesty

What would life be

Without a song or a dance what are we

So I say thank you for the music

For giving it to me.


I’ve been so lucky

I’m a girl with golden hear

I want to sing it out to everybody

What a joy, what a life, what a chance.


Thank you for the music

The songs I’m singing

Thank you for all the joy

They’re bringing

Who can live without it

I ask in all honesty

What would life be

Without a song or a dance what are we

So I say thank you for the music

For giving it to me.



14/ And at last write your own attitude and your own opinion about music.

Well-done. Thank you and good bye.
