Introduction

How beautiful our Russia is - with its fields, forests, rivers! How rich our Russia is - in precious stones, gold and silver. But the most priceless and dear thing that our Russia owns is our people. The Russian land is famous for its craftsmen. No matter what corner of our homeland you find yourself in, everywhere you will meet a miracle master glorifying the beauty of our land!

One of the oldest folk crafts in Rus' is lubok.

History of the emergence and development of popular prints

From the middle of the 17th century. Printed pictures first appeared in Rus', these pictures were called “amusing sheets”,It was humorous folk pictures that were sold at fairs and were considered the most popular form of fine art in Rus'. In the second half of the 19th century. they began to be called lubok.

Who and why called them “pop pictures, popular prints” is unknown. Maybe because the pictures were cut out on linden boards (and linden was then called bast), maybe because peddlers sold them in bast boxes, or, if you believe the Moscow legend, everything came from Lubyanka - the street where the craftsmen lived lubkov.

In the 17th century, the Muscovite kingdom established more and more extensive trade relations with Europe. Among other goods, European printed books came to Rus', the design of which was distinguished by high quality and technical novelty; copper engraving had long been used in Europe, making it possible to produce illustrations, maps, and richly decorate title pages. In Russia, they used woodcuts, or drawn images, to illustrate books. Wealthy Russians buy Western books with illustrations, engraved portraits, and maps of unknown lands.

In 1692, the Primer of the Slovenian-Russian Tribe was published in Moscow. All pages in it are drawn and engraved on copper, each dedicated to a separate Cyrillic letter, decorated with its stylized image, numerous drawings of objects for this letter and its poetic description. The "primer" was originally intended for Tsarevich Alexei Petrovich.

In the era of Peter the Great, Russia faced numerous reforms; at the turn of the century, the country was transformed. Along with the country, her books also transformed. Popular prints flourished during the time of Peter the Great, and the most famous pictures, which were then republished over several centuries, were associated with the era of Peter.

Peter I invites master engravers from Holland to Russia.

In the middle of the 18th century, secular literature began to appear in the form of popular prints.

In the 19th century, many small printing houses appeared. One of the owners of the printing house was Ivan Dmitrievich Sytin, a Russian entrepreneur in the field of publishing and bookselling, who began his career as an assistant to a merchant in a popular print shop, in 1876, on credit, he opened a small lithography for the publication of popular prints, in 1883 - a bookstore and at the same time established a book publishing partnership “I.D. Sytin and Co.” By the end of his life he became the largest non-state publisher, aimed primarily at public education.Sytin's printing house produced huge quantities of cheap books for the people, textbooks, calendars, encyclopedias, scientific literature, newspapers, magazines, and collected works of Russian classics. Sytin made attempts to “ennoble” popular prints by inviting professional artists and producing original “lubok posters” with portraits of writers and illustrations for their works. Sytin’s educational activities, associated with the promotion of Russian literature, became a striking phenomenon in the development of lubok, which existed in Russian society until the 1920sAt this time, numerous adaptations of Gogol, Lermontov, and individual works by Pushkin, Turgenev, Saltykov-Shchedrin were published in cheap versions.

During the Great Patriotic War, lubok as a type of folk graphics was again used by the Kukryniksy. Evil caricatures of fascist leaders (Hitler, Goebbels) were accompanied by texts of poignant front-line ditties that ridiculed “the sideways Hitler” and his henchmen.

Subjects of the paintings

Initially, the subjects for popular prints were handwritten tales, life books, “fatherly writings,” oral tales, and articles from translated newspapers.Gradually, in addition to religious subjects, illustrations for Russian fairy tales, epics, translated knightly novels, and historical tales (about the founding of Moscow, the Battle of Kulikovo) appeared.

Lubki were about everything in the world: about different countries and great battles, about peasant life and famous people, about big cities and quirks of nature, about strange animals and important events. People decorated their homes with unusually elegant pictures.

Types of splints

    Spiritual and religious -. Icon type images. Lives of saints, parables, moral teachings, songs, etc.

    Philosophical.

    Legal - depictions of trials and legal actions. The following subjects were often encountered: “Shemyakin trial” and “Ruff Ershovich Shchetinnikov”.

    Historical - Images of historical events, battles, cities. Topographic maps.

    Fairy tales - magical tales, heroic tales, “Tales of Daring People”, everyday tales.

    Holidays - images of saints.

    Cavalry - popular prints with images of horsemen.

    Joker - amusing popular prints, satires, caricatures, jokes.

Splint production technology

And it was done like this: first, a drawing was applied to the board. Then they cut it out with special cutters, and black paint was applied to the contours of the drawings. A sheet of paper was placed on top of the board, rolled between the rollers of the printing press, and the design was imprinted on the paper.

Popular craftsmen painted and cut out popular prints. We learned this more often from our own parents, relatives and neighbors. but they painted the popular prints of mothers, wives and daughters. They used four or five colors, no more, but the most flaming ones: crimson, green, red, yellow. And they always put these colors in contrast: crimson with green, yellow with black, which made them seem even brighter and the picture more elegant. the artists worked only with wide brushes and did not follow any contours.

Modern masters of popular prints

Centuries have passed, and artists, combining in their work the traditions of ancient Russian painting and folk crafts, create works that meet the requirements of today.

A modern artist and painter, Marina Ruslanova, creates very bright, positive works in the form of popular prints. Her rThe works are in the "Slavic House" gallery, in the Moscow Museum of Folk Graphics, in the "Tsaritsyno" museum, in the interior of the cafe of the Moscow branch of the World Bank, as well as in private collections in

Russia and abroad.

2015 has been named the year of literature. INAs part of the Year of Literature, on January 26, 2015, the exhibition “Russian Literature in the Mirror of Lubok” was held in St. Petersburg

The exhibition presents unique examples of popular prints from the mid-19th - early 20th centuries based on the works of Russian writers. The exhibition tells about the history of popular prints, popular stories, authors, and execution techniques.

Among the exhibits is the most popular work in Russian popular print in the entire history of its existence - the poem “Romance”, written by fifteen-year-old Alexander Pushkin.

Visitors will be able to see popular prints created by anonymous authors and numerous Moscow workshops. Among the subjects of popular prints presented at the exhibition, the most popular works of literature among the common people are Pushkin’s poem “The Death of Prince Oleg”, Lermontov’s poem “Song about the Merchant Kalashnikov”, Krylov’s fables, songs based on poems by Batyushkov, Nekrasov, Koltsov...

One of the sections of the exhibition is dedicated to the works of the publishing house of Ivan Sytin, in whose hands the popular print production was concentrated by the end of the 19th century...

How we worked on the book

The book enriches our knowledge about life, develops a sense of beauty in a person, teaches him to see and understand the beauty of life itself and the beauty of the literary word, literary images, pictures of life that the writer creates.

I also decided to try myself as an illustrator and create an illustrated book with proverbs and sayings about books and reading in popular prints.

Stages of working on the book:

    I found and researched material about popular print.

    I picked up proverbs and sayings about the book.

    I illustrated the pages.

    I designed the book so that you could add pages.

    The book is ready.

Conclusion

Lubok is a type of fine art that is characterized by clarity and capacity of the image. Popular prints are characterized by simplicity of technique and laconism of visual means.

In general, we can conclude that hand-drawn popular prints are a unique historical and artistic phenomenon that combines the art of urban and peasant culture, secular and religious origins. This is precisely what can explain the ability of hand-drawn popular prints to creatively rework the artistic techniques of book miniatures, icon painting, and folk arts and crafts.

Application

Project for high school "Development of creativity and critical thinking in the lessons of world artistic culture"

This project, developed for implementation in senior classes of secondary schools, is a study and application of interactive forms of work in the lessons of world artistic culture and during extracurricular hours in order to identify the creative abilities of students, involve them in active activities, awaken interest in the implementation of their creative, research , information and communication competencies.

Project format

Implementation deadlines: academic year.
Place of sale: secondary school, lyceum, gymnasium.
Resource support: computer, projector, screen, Internet resources.
Methodological support: work program for MHC, textbook and disk with additional materials Masol L. M. "MHC"
Aesthetic education plays a big role in pedagogy, because it is through art that the spiritual experience of humanity is mainly transmitted, helping to restore connections between generations. There is a growing individual understanding that art most effectively helps a child build a holistic picture of the world, allowing him to make decisions in any life situations. This is one of the conditions for the development of a child’s creative abilities.
Contradiction(slide 3). Every person is naturally talented, inquisitive, and has a desire to explore and comprehend the world around them. But children of senior school age are increasingly experiencing a decrease in motivation and interest in research and creative tasks due to the fact that, firstly, the child does not always know how to express himself, in what form to realize himself, and secondly, schoolchildren are busy educational material; thirdly, schoolchildren become inert due to fear of criticism and misunderstanding.
Problematic issues(slide 4). How to awaken a student’s interest in understanding the cultural values ​​accumulated by humanity and help him realize his inner creative potential? How to achieve the greatest results in this activity without overloading the learning process?
Project idea:(slide 5) introduce interactive practical methods and forms of teaching (research activities, development of critical thinking, the method “Through creative activity to oneself”) in MHC lessons and during extracurricular hours to create motivation for learning and self-realization.
Goals of work:(slide 6)
- to form sustainable motivation for learning the subject and self-improvement;
- develop students’ creative and communicative competencies;
- promote self-discovery and self-realization of creative individuals, taking into account the individual differences of students.
The main tasks of my work:(slide 7)
- mastering knowledge about styles and trends in the MCC, their characteristic features, and the heights of artistic creativity;
- development of skills for students to independently work with sources, use of acquired knowledge and skills to broaden their horizons, consciously form their own cultural environment, aesthetic environment;
- integration of various types of educational activities (educational, research, creative).
Expected effects:(slide 8)
- increasing students’ motivation to study MHC;
- effectiveness of participation in subject Olympiads and creative competitions;
- students’ interest in research, design and creative activities;
- improving the image of the school.

Interactive forms of work.

Research project activities
Today, no one doubts that a presentation in a lesson is an opportunity to make it modern, bright, useful, illustrative, interactive and memorable. Children like such lessons, they give an incentive to learn more, and develop their creative potential. For lessons on a specific topic, presentations are prepared both by me and by the students. This involves children in the educational process, contributing to the widest development of their abilities, activation of mental activity, and formation of reflection in students. When creating a research project, we follow the plan:
1) determining the circle of students who want to take part in the project;
2) determining the topic that the guys want to work on;
3) collection, processing and systematization of material on the topic;
4) creation of a research project;
5) presentation of the research project.
Projects are created by students not only for lessons, but also for creative competitions. Thus, students of grade 10A (Medvedeva Yu. and Pogorelov I.) developed a research project “Archangel Michael’s Church in the city of Avdeevka” for the regional competition “Creative Youth of Donbass”, the goal of which is to attract young people to eternal spiritual values ​​and instill pride and love for hometown (slide 9)
Development of critical thinking
The use of Bloom's Taxonomy of Thinking Skills (knowledge, understanding, application, analysis, synthesis and evaluation of information received) in lessons became interesting and productive for students. Test and generalization lesson assignments developed on the basis of this technology attract students with their ability, in addition to knowledge, to demonstrate their own point of view on the material studied. Thus, in the lesson “Comparison of Cossack Baroque with Western European style options,” students made associative rhombuses in which they indicated the common and different features of the Baroque, which were reflected in the art of Western Europe and East Slavic peoples in the 17-18 centuries; made collages from reproductions of works of art, and also made conclusions about borrowed elements and original traditions in the development of their native culture (slide 10)
Artistic culture through creative activity towards oneself
The environment in which the student communicates is his class, and the child’s publicity is often limited to this sphere of communication. How to improve your social status? How to make people respect you? How to surprise your classmates? Creative work helps with this. If a child’s activity is creative in nature, then it constantly forces one to think and in itself becomes quite an attractive activity, as a means of testing and developing abilities. Creative activity is always associated with the creation of something new, the discovery of new possibilities in oneself. This is an incentive to make efforts. Such activities strengthen positive self-esteem, generate self-confidence and a sense of satisfaction in the success achieved. During MCC lessons and outside of class time, this is the production of decorative and applied art products in accordance with the stylistic features of the historical period of cultural development being studied (embroidery, modeling, pysankar-making, creating ornaments, etc.). The greatest effectiveness in working on the development of students' creative abilities is achieved as a result of stimulating creative activity and creating a situation of success for each student and a generally favorable microclimate in the team. Harsh and biased criticism of students' creative and intellectual abilities is unacceptable. Situations of discomfort for students in the process of creative work in the lesson and ignoring even a weak attempt by the child to express himself should be avoided. Creative tasks are performed both individually and in group form. Presentation of creative works completed by students is carried out at school-wide exhibitions (slide 11).
Work results:(slide 12)
- stable learning results have been generated (oral questioning, interactive tests);
- students’ research and creative activities are actively developing;
- positive motivation for the subject has been formed;
- the ability to independently work with sources has been developed;
- the children learned to present their activities competently and convincingly.
Conclusion(slide 13)
I think that I was able to unleash creativity and help realize the research needs of students, taking into account their individual capabilities.

The topic of the project was chosen taking into account the educational situation in the subject for the subsequent deepening of students' knowledge.

The project is informational by the type of activity, cultural by the nature of the subject area, open, explicit coordination by the nature of coordination, internal, of medium duration by the nature of contacts.

Methodological passport of the educational project.

Addressing: addressed to 9th grade students for a deeper acquaintance with the art of the Renaissance.

The goals are educational and educational.

  1. Involving each student in an active cognitive process.
  2. Fostering children's interest in the culture and art of the Renaissance.

The result was an evening dedicated to artists of the Renaissance. Students of grades 9 “B” and 8 “D” took part in the work.

Implementation of the project.

Work on the project made it possible to familiarize students in detail with the features of the development of Renaissance art. Each student researched information for his report and then used the material for the group's presentation. An educational project allows you to take into account the artistic tastes of students, develop the personal motivation of students and through it reveal the problem of innovation in the art of the Renaissance.

The presentation at the end of the work implied a self-analysis of the students’ activities, a story about what problems the students encountered during the work. As a result, the evening was spent.

To prepare their reports, the guys visited the Museum of Fine Arts. A. S. Pushkin. We worked in the central city library named after. Gorbunov, used the Internet. Work on the project took the first and part of the second quarter.

Stage I included posing a problem, formulating a topic, choosing topics by students, and visiting a museum.

The role of the teacher is to guide.

Stage II- search engine. The children studied literature and collected information about the figures of the Renaissance. Depending on the motivation of interest in various areas of Renaissance art, students were divided into five groups: “Renaissance in Italy. Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Michelangelo”; “Renaissance in Italy. Botticelli. Titian"; “Renaissance in the Netherlands. Rembrandt and “The Little Dutchmen””; “Russian revival. Architecture"; “Northern revival. Script writers - 8 “G”.

Stage III. Research work. Preparation of reports. The role of the teacher is teaching (consulting).

Stage IV. The presentation of the project took the form of an oral report on the work done with a demonstration of the materials found, and self-analysis of students.

V stage. The product of the project is evening. Their names will endure for centuries. In the evening, questions from a quiz compiled by the teacher. The guys answer them with ease, using the knowledge they have acquired on their own.

Conclusion.

Overall, the project was successful. Almost all students took part in the work. Everyone was involved in mental activity and acquired new knowledge through independent work. The children were involved in a variety of activities, both individual and group.

Art topics are not usually possible in one lesson. This is due to objective reasons. The project method allows you to build a work on the study of art topics, especially such voluminous ones as “Renaissance Art”; “The Artistic Culture of Ancient Greece” for a long time in a variety of forms: excursions, work on reports, lessons in the library.

Goals and objectives of the work Goal of the work: to determine whether graphic art is truly a form of art or still refers to simple hooliganism? Objectives: Study the history of graphics. Identify the features of graphics as a direction of fine art. Find out people's attitude towards graphics.


History of the emergence of graphics Graffiti - used graffiti (in the context of historical inscriptions, singular graphito; from Italian graffito, plural graffiti) images, drawings or inscriptions scratched, written or drawn with paint or ink on walls and other surfaces. Italian. Graphics can include any type of street wall painting, on which you can find everything: from simple written words to exquisite drawings.


Graffiti in the ancient world Wall inscriptions have been known since ancient times, they were discovered in the countries of the Ancient East, in Greece, in Rome (Pompeii, Roman catacombs. The meaning of this word over time began to mean any graphics applied to the surface. Graffiti in ancient Pompeii: a caricature of official Graffiti in Ancient Rome were the social networks of the time.


Medieval graphites in Rus' The Eastern Slavs have a long and rich history of graphites. In Novgorod, 10 graphits of the 11th century have been preserved. A large number of 19th-century graphics are available in the Cathedral of St. Sofia in Kyiv, they contain both drawings and (usually) text. For the most part, ancient Russian graphs are writings on the walls of churches, so their most common content is prayer requests to God or saints, but there are also humorous texts and folk spells. Inscription-graphics in the St. Sophia Cathedral in Novgorod (XII-XIII centuries) Graffiti of St. Sophia of Kyiv.


Graffiti in the Renaissance by Michelangelo Buanarota. A great artist in every sense! When Renaissance artists such as Pinturicchio, Raphael, Michelangelo, descended into the ruins of Nero's Golden House, they carved or painted their names and upon returning from there began to use grotesque style in their works.






Features of graphics as a form of fine art. Graffiti is a form of street art that is one of the most current forms of artistic expression around the world. Many countries and cities have their own famous writers (people involved in graphic arts) who create real masterpieces on the streets of the city. Writers' Code: 1) do not paint houses of cultural value, and do not paint on residential buildings at all; 2) do not impose your worldview on people; 3) do not write in the names of other writers, especially on other people’s works; 4) do not write on tombstones: painting memorial walls is death!





“Trow-up” graphic styles are drawn very quickly, in 2-3 colors, sacrificing quality for speed. “Piece” (“piece”, “masterpiece”) is a more complex rendition of the rater’s name, which includes more stylized letters and more colors. “Blockbuster” or “roller” are huge pieces, usually made in a simple printing manner for the purpose of covering a large surface area using two contrasting colors. The “wildstyle” style is a more complex type of graphics. The name of the style comes from the wild, explosive, incomprehensible nature of the design, since often the letters are so intertwined and so many extraneous elements are introduced that readability practically disappears.


The influence of graphics on the life of society. Vandalism is “the senseless destruction of cultural and material values.” Reasons for creating graphics: - affirmation of personal and group identity; - protest against social and cultural norms; - angry reactions; - spools of creativity; - sexual reels; - entertaining reels.



Conclusion Graffiti is the freest of means of self-expression. Any artist strives not only for self-expression, but also for recognition and fame. Drawings on the walls are no longer equated with hooliganism. And of course, this cannot be called vandalism. Perhaps an abusive inscription on a wall can be called vandalism, but not every inscription on a wall is graffiti! Thank you for your attention!
