These Materials on the Topic “Painting” Are Designed for The Полякова И.М. Учебно-методическое пособие для развития навыков устной речи на английском языке для студентов 3 курса отделения романо-германской филологии по теме : “Живопись” Редактор – доцент кафедры английского языка гуманитарных факультетов Числова А.С. Целью данного пособия является сбор материала по теме «Живопись» и разработка системы упражнений, направленных на овладение, развитие и совершенствование профессиональных умений и навыков устной и письменной речи студентов 3 курса РГФ в процессе их работы в аудитории под руководством преподавателя и самостоятельной работы. Работа состоит из нескольких частей. В первой части представлен основной лексический материал по данной теме. Последующие части состоят из ряда упражнений и заданий, основной целью которых является контроль знаний, усвоенных студентами при изучении данной темы, закрепление и усвоение лексического материала и отработка его в заданиях коммуникативной направленности. В пособие включены также тексты о живописи, взятые из оригинальной художественой литературы и журналов по искусству. Данные тексты были подобраны для пополнения лексического материала и наглядной иллюстрации его употребления в литературе. Задания по устной речевой практике имеют целью закрепить полезный лексический материал, и направлены на обучение студентов понимать и передавать определенную информацию, использовав необходимую лексику по данной теме. В приложении для желающих дается материал на самостоятельное изучение, состоящий из статей, взятых из журналов последних лет, о художниках и выставках. These materials on the topic “Painting” are designed for the students of English in their fourth year to be studied during the 6-th semestre within the course of Practical English. The work at the topic will take 6-8 hours (about three weeks) of classroom work and is planned as a part of students’ classroom activity. The topic is important for educated advanced learners of English and includes terms which will broaden their vocabulary and enable them to read and speak about the art of painting expressing their opinion on works of art and the profession of an artist. The reading material and exercises are preceeded by a topical vocabulary which falls into smaller thematic clusters of words and phrases to help students easily find and learn the words they need. Lexical exercises that follow such as matching words, looking for synonyms, paraphrasing sentences and filling the gaps encourage students to explore and use the topical vocabulary. Other exercises such as the discussion of the reading material or the description of a reproduction are aimed at developing and perfecting students’ skills in using the new vocabulary freely, profusively and spontaniously in their speech. All the selected texts taken from the magazines and fiction are authentic. Many of them are supplied with pre-reading tasks to start a warm-up discussion. The exercises that follow the texts are aimed at preparing students for further discussion and encourage them to use the new words they have encountered in the process of reading. There are also writing tasks arising from the content of the passage. To save time in class students should be asked to prepare most of the reading passages as well as the vocabulary exerceses at home. The last part of the work includes supplementary reading material which could be used both in classroom work for scanned reading or for students’ reading at home. The following sources were used: 1.

  • Artists Under Occupation: Collective Memory & the Performing Arts in Palestine, 1948-2011
    Artists Under Occupation: Collective Memory & the Performing Arts in Palestine, 1948-2011 By Rozina S. Gilani Submitted to Central European University History Department In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisor: Professor Nadia Al-Bagdadi Second Reader: Professor Tolga Esmer CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2012 Copyright in the text of this thesis rests with the Author. Copies by any process, either in full CEU eTD Collection or part, may be made only in accordance with the instructions given by the Author and lodged in the Central European Library. Details may be obtained from the librarian. This page must form a part of any such copies made. Further copies made in accordance with such instructions may not be made without the written permission of the Author. i Abstract This project explores the relationship between art, politics and collective memory as represented in Palestinian performing arts. By looking at the historical trajectory of art movements in Palestine and identifying key moments of change in artistic style and trends, I hope to support the argument that Palestinian art is inherently political and holds political functions in its society. Furthermore, while I initially anticipated discovering artists reproducing motifs of resistance as found in the early works of painters as a means of participating in salvage ethnography, my findings actually show a growing enthusiasm for new works that reappropriate older narratives and breathe new life into older aesthetic representations. The thesis will also explore issues of identity and pinpoint ways in which the Palestinian diaspora are participating in art production and efforts to resist the occupation through cultural means.

  • No Longer a Horizon, but Infinity”
    Suheyla Takesh INTRODUCTION: “No Longer a Horizon, but Infinity” In 1964 the Algerian weekly Révolution africaine published “Éléments pour un art nouveau” (Elements for a New Art), an essay by the painter Mohammed Khadda that contended with the role of the artist in post-independence Algeria and in the formation of a socialist state.1 In the text, Khadda argued for a function of art beyond propaganda or agitation.2 The history of painting, he wrote, had been one of successive revolutions and of a continuous liberation that eventually culminated in the emergence of abstraction, allowing painting to become an art unto itself, no longer reliant on a physical subject. In Khadda’s account, the birth of abstract art was tied to the moment Wassily Kandinsky created “the first nonrepresentational work” in 1910—most likely a reference to Untitled (Study for Composition VII, Première abstraction).3 Whether or not we attribute the beginning of abstraction to Kandinsky’s watercolor alone, discussing it prompted Khadda to make compelling observations about abstraction’s potential. “There was no longer a horizon, but infinity,” he wrote.4 Transcending the limits of represen- tation, of physical reality, and thereby the bounds of a metaphorical “horizon,” the artist would be able—in Khadda’s imagination—to tap into an infinite range of “creative” experiences and expand what art could achieve.5 The promise of nonobjective abstraction, purporting, as it does, values of multiplicity, plurality, and heterogeneity, would be to encourage a more genuine expression of individ- uality than had been hitherto possible. The place from which Khadda’s thoughts emerged is one that is shared across geographies of decolonization: a breaking away from the entrenched colonial vision and a questioning of what it means to formulate a distinct national identity.

  • Review II by Samia A. Halaby of the Book "Palestinian Art". 12/24/19, 1059 AM a Review of the Book "Palestinian Art" Part II: Correcting Misconception and Ignorance
    Review II by Samia A. Halaby of the book "Palestinian Art". 12/24/19, 1059 AM A Review of the Book "Palestinian Art" Part II: Correcting Misconception and Ignorance To return to Part I of this review click here. Review by Samia A. Halaby, August 25, 1998. Edited February 2011. (An exhibition of the work of seven Palestinian artists was presented by the Swedish Government at the Konstakademien Vastra Galleriet (Royal Academy of Art) in Stockholm from August 17 through September 20th, 1998. It was accompanied by a hard-cover book titled "Palestinian Art." Mr. Ulf Thomas Moberg was both curator of the show and author of the book. No publisher is specified in the book, but it was printed by Almqvist & Eiksell, Uppsala 1998, copyright Cinclus, Box 14089, 161 14 Stockholm.) The educational intention of the organizers of the exhibition, as I was given to understand, is to increase mutual understanding by presenting the art of Palestinian Arabs to the European community, during this year when Stockholm is designated the cultural capital of Europe. The artists in the exhibition thank The Royal Academy, The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Swedish International Development Agency, and very specially Ulf Thomas Moberg for this commendable effort. And in the spirit of mutuality I wish to present some reflections of the cultural traditions of Arab artists. In Part I, the book was described and evaluated. This Part II provides the proper conceptual basis for discussion of the subject of Palestinian Arab art. Such material was completely absent in the book, "Palestinian Art," where propaganda was more the intention than an art historical treatise.

  • Text Panel Taking Shape
    Taking Shape: Abstraction from the Arab World, 1950s–1980s Grey Art Gallery, New York University January 14–April 4, 2020 Main Text Panel and Individual Object Labels Main Text Panel Taking Shape: Abstraction from the Arab World explores mid-20th-century abstract art from North Africa, West Asia, and the Arab diaspora—a vast geographic expanse that encompasses diverse cultural, ethnic, linguistic, and religious backgrounds. Comprising nearly 90 works by artists from countries including Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestine, Qatar, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the exhibition is drawn from the collection of the Barjeel Art Foundation based in Sharjah, UAE. The paintings, sculpture, drawings, and prints on view here reflect the wide range of nonfigurative art practices that flourished in the Arab world over the course of four decades. Decolonization, the rise and fall of Arab nationalisms, socialism, rapid industrialization, wars and mass migrations, and the oil boom transformed the region during this period. With rising opposition to Western political and military involvement, many artists adopted critical viewpoints, striving to make art relevant to their own locales. New opportunities for international travel and the advent of circulating exhibitions sparked cultural and educational exchanges that exposed them to multiple modernisms—including various modes of abstraction—and led them to consider their roles within an international context. The featured artists—a varied group of Arab, Amazigh (Berber), Armenian, Circassian, Jewish, Persian, and Turkish descent—sought to localize and recontextualize existing 20th-century modernisms, some forming groups to address urgent issues. Moving away from figuration, they mined the expressive capacities of line, color, and texture.

Such exploration is understood as a separate discipline from the many others that employ pictures for practical functions. The author examines the development of 20th century abstraction as an effect of revolutionary social motion. Historic steps to abstraction, taking shape as rising and receding artistic movements, are correlated to revolutionary motion. The materialist underpinning of abstraction is distinguished from the idealism of Post-Modernism. The paper ends with an examination of contemporary discourse in the Western art world that attempts to erase the internationalism of abstraction and, thereby, marginalize non-Western practitioners. Keywords: abstraction, art history, materialism, painting, revolution Preliminaries and Parameters of Inquiry An important parameter that guides my thinking on painting is to define paintings as a subset of all pictures, which are visual images on a flat surface distinct from mixed media installation.

  • Sophie Halaby, Palestinian Artist of the Twentieth Century Plate 1: Outing with Her Cousins in the Village of Malha
    Although my first encounter with Sophie Sophie Halaby, Halaby was memorable, I knew very Palestinian Artist little about her personal life when asked by the Jerusalem Quarterly to write of the Twentieth this essay. But I do have knowledge Century of Palestinian art history and Sophie’s position therein. Discovering some aspects Samia Halaby of her personality enriched that knowledge. I sought information from distant relatives who had accumulated extensive family archives. Parallel to this search, I conducted many interviews via email, Skype, and telephone of both my own family and of the many friends who still remember Sophie. Additionally, I had done a small interview with her a year before her death. These interviews spanned Tokyo to the Midwest in longitude, and from London to Australia in latitude. My own limited memories of Sophie were thus enhanced by all the interviews and I came to understand her through my own practice as a painter. My first visit with Sophie and her sister Asia (Anastasia) was in 1966, when I was introduced by their friend, my aunt Sultanie Halaby,1 an independent businesswoman and founder of Dar al- Kutub. As the afternoon progressed, I took the opportunity of a few free moments away from the formalities to carefully peruse Sophie’s paintings hanging on the walls. As I bent down to examine the signature on one of the paintings, Sophie suddenly sprang from behind and demanded to know how I sign my own paintings. I told her that my signatures vary but that I often use S. Halaby. She then took it upon herself to instruct me in clear terms that I should not do so and that I should always spell out my name.

  • Exhibition Didactics
    Taking Shape Abstraction from the Arab World, 1950s–1980s This exhibition explores mid-twentieth-century abstract art from North Africa, West Asia, and the Arab diaspora—a vast geographic expanse that encompasses diverse cultural, ethnic, linguistic, and religious backgrounds. Comprising nearly ninety works by artists from countries including Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestine, Qatar, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the exhibition is drawn from the collection of the Barjeel Art Foundation based in Sharjah, UAE. The paintings, sculpture, drawings, and prints on view here reflect the wide range of nonfigurative art practices that flourished in the Arab world over the course of four decades.

Moving away from figuration, they mined the expressive capacities of line, color, and texture. Inspired by Arabic calligraphy, geometry, and mathematics, Islamic decorative patterns, and spiritual practices, they expanded abstraction’s vocabulary—thereby complicating its genealogies of origin and altering the viewer’s understanding of nonobjective art.

  • Ahmad Nawash, Painting in Exile Movement, Wherein Space Is Divided in a Mildly Cubist Manner and the Sections Filled with Symbolic Images Meaningful to the Population
    Ahmad Nawash, It is important for historians of art to look clearly at all that is accomplished in any one Painting in Exile period and document for their society its creative accomplishment. The value of the arts Samia A. Halaby is established over time by the many voices of those who study, write, collect, and enjoy art. As a writer and painter of long experience, I am writing about Ahmad Nawash, because I consider his work to be of high quality and thus add my voice to the many who admire his paintings. The significance of such a process lies in the need for a society to provide a view which guides new generations, be it in art or in science. I visited and interviewed the painter Ahmad Nawash at his home in Amman twice, once in 2007 and again in 2011. He narrated a few details of his life, and later guided me to a large room where I photographed some of his works and took notes while he explained a few of them to me. Throughout both interviews, the great and ongoing tragedy of Palestine was an omnipresent theme in his discourse. Nawash’s early beginnings and mature practice as an artist took place during the years when the Palestinian liberation movement was growing in strength in politics and in art. Forward-looking artists of the time were active organizing unions, exhibitions, galleries, publications, and a museum. Together, their visual output forms a unique chapter in both the history of Palestinian art and that of twentieth-century revolutionary art – including movements such as Impressionism, Constructivism, and the Mexican Mural movement.
