The Savitsky Art Gallery

The pride of Penza is the Savitsky Art Gallery named after the painter and first director of the Penza Fine Arts School. It is a visiting-card of our city. It is one of the oldest art galleries in all of Russia having been founded in 1897. The building is erected in “modern” style by famous St.Petersburg architect A.I.Gogen in 1912.

But it is not only an architectural monument, it is a church of art in our city! It is a magnificent display of works by Russian and foreign painters. The gallery contains a collection of over four thousands works including paintings, engravings, and sculptures by Russian and West-European masters as well as all the priceless Russian icons of the sixteenth through eighteenth centuries. Three halls are devoted to the painters: K.Savitsky, I.Goryshkin-Sorokopudov and F.Lentulov whose creative work is linked with Penza.

Nearly 600 works are treasures of Western European Art. They are represented by a rich collection of paintings, graphics and sculpture. The pride of this collection are the Italian, Dutch and French paintings from the 17^th century and Russian art of the 19^th century mainly represented by portraits and the priceless Russian icons of the 16^th-18^th centuries.

In addition to its permanent collection, the gallery also hosts many special exhibitions brought from

other museums as well as displaying works by modern-day Penzan artists.

Text B (Приложение 2). The pride of Penza is the Museum of One Painting. What is special about it?

The Museum of One Painting

Calm music lulls the audience. The curtains open. And there, one single painting is showcased. It is the only museum of its kind in Russia. The museum of One Painting was founded in 1983.

Usually people spend only a few seconds in front of each painting as they meander through a large museum, but here they come to hear about one single artist and one single painting. Before seeing a masterpiece of painting, a slide film is shown accompanied with the literary musical composition. The author of 15 slide films is Honoured Art Worker V.P. Sazonov.The texts are read the most outstanding Soviet actors such as M.Ulyanov, V.Tikchonov, R.Plyatt and others. Sound recording is made at the State Radio House of Soviet Recording. The visitors to this museum really have the feeling that they are getting to know the work by concentrating on a single masterpiece.

For all the period of its existing the museum has been attended by 360 000 visitors and has exhibited the following painting V.I.Surikov "The Capture of the Snow Fortress"; N.N.Ge " Peter1 is interogating Tsarevich Alexey Petrovich in Petergof"; P.A.Fedotov "Match-Making of the Major"; I.I.Shishkin "The Ship Grove"; V.M.Vasnetsov "The Magic Carpet"; Titian "The portrait of a young womav"; Rembrant and Jan Victors "Abraham and Three Angles".

Should we invite our British friends to visit this museum? Explain you point of view.

Text C (Приложение 3). Penza possesses an interesting collection of traditional folk art in the Folk Art Museum. What would you tell your foreign friend about this museum?

The Folk Art Museum

Not only professional works of art are found in Penza, but also wonderful and colorful works of traditional folk art. Russia is famous over the world for its “Matroshki” dolls and Abashev toys, as well as for its traditional, unique painting style found on kitchen utensils and even furniture. All of these things can be seen at the Museum of Folk Art.

The Folk Art Museum was opened in Penza in January 1975. The status of the state museum was given to it only in 1992. The museum building itself is a monument of the Russian skilful wooden architecture of the mid-19^th century, made by the Sorokin brothers from Kameshkir.

Oh, it is like a fairy-tale house in a big modern city! When you look at it you understand the beauty of the Russian house and admire the talent of Russian masters!

The Folk Art Museum exibits wonderful works of traditional folk art. It keeps and gives new life to the traditional handicrafts of Penza region. The property of the museum is T.N.Zotkin’s pottery, R.F.Kochurin’s wood carving articles, E.K.Medyantseva’s straw works, A.I.Andreeva’s carpets… There are nearly 4000 exhibits in the Folk Art Museum. Personal exhibitions of local masters take place in the museum.

Any foreign visitor will be especially interested in what is unique only to the Penza region, so this will be a necessary stop during any tour. Even the exterior of the museum is an example of the traditional folk art represented on a smaller scale inside.

You should visit the museum by all means!

Can we say that the Folk Art Museum contains the things that are unique only to the Penza region? Why? Why not?

a) Compare your answers. Try to reach (достичь) an agreement.

b) Collect the arguments.

(Учащиеся из разных групп, получившие задание прочитать один и тот же текст, объединяются в новые “экспертные” группы. Каждая экспертная группа читает свой текст с целью ответить на вопросы. В процессе чтения, более подготовленные учащиеся помогают менее подготовленным понять основное содержание и детали текста и сформулировать ответы на вопросы.

В результате совместной работы учащиеся должны быть уверены в том, что каждый из группы сможет не только сам ответить на эти вопросы, но и научить отвечать на эти вопросы других учащихся из своей первоначальной группы.)

3) Meet in home groups.

a) Take turns (очередь) to retell your group the information you’ve read.

b) Ask your friends’ arguments.

(Учащиеся встречаются в своих первоначальных группах, и каждый по очереди рассказывает информацию о своём музее, которую он получил из своего текста, и “учит” всех других отвечать на поставленные вопросы. В результате совместной работы каждый учащийся должен получить общее представление о том, что читали другие члены его первоначальной группы.)
