Art education 4.
Paired composition: the "kind and evil hero of people fairy tales". Two works size A4, pencil, and watercolour.
Systematic recommendations:
Before the work the teacher carries out conversation about the Russian fairy tales, shows reproduction from the pictures by Vasnetsov, Bilibin, etc. of artists. It follows to describe to trainees about the basic characters, their attributes, with what phenomena of life they were connected in the idea of people.
In this exercise for the first time is posed the problem of depicting the background, which in the form and the content must correspond to hero. The rigid nature of lines will designate evil beginning, soft - good. For example, for the negative heroes ("Koshchey", dragon and to them similar) medium will be the background, filled with the sharp spires of towers, by dry rough branches, by stones, by cliffs, by sharp prickles, etc.
At first is done pencil sketch, then composition along two diagonals is transferred to the basic size.
Operation on the size:
Having approximately determined the basic objects of image, their position and sizes, we approach the refinement of parts. First, as it follows, the figure of the main hero (it must be large and present the centre of composition) is depicted. Then mm we fill it inside the outline with patterns so that each element would be the locked form. The nature of filling (rigid or soft) Sudet to depend on the nature of main hero. The same work we perform also with respect to background.
Passing to the picturesque stage of task, it should be noted that the colour range here must bear emotional- semantic load (cold/evil beginning, warm/good).
Work is conducted by the method of watercolour filling. With colour are first covered distant plans, then neighbour. The figure of main character fills lastly and it is separated with the aid of the tone contrast (it is done darker or lighter background). Not one section of sheet overlaps with the second layer of water colour and washes off as long as the white unrecorded pieces remain. This sequence remains also subsequently.

Task:
to learn to evenly fill entire surface of sheet with image elements, to determine the position of the sheet of paper in the dependence on the content; to select the value of the image of objects/subjects with respect to size. To show the possibility to express its relation to that depicted. To introduce the trainees by the elements of Russian people culture.Occupations assume independent work.
