The Birthday LESSON PLAN THE BIRTHDAY About this activity In this activity, students try to draw a picture of an impossible kiss according to the teacher’s instructions. ▶ Recommended language level: A1/A2 ▶ Main story task: Teacher-led picture-telling ▶ Topics: Art; love For this activity, you will need the following: • A photograph of Marc Chagall and Bella Rosenfeld (see below). • An image of a well-know painting by Marc Chagall titled “The Birthday” (see below). • A copy of the worksheet on page 3 – one for each student. The photograph In the photograph, painter Marc Chagall and writer Bella Rosenfeld look into each other’s eyes with love and affection. A table covered with the artist’s paints and brushes fills the foreground. The photograph was taken in Paris some time around 1938. “The Birthday” Marc Chagall painted “The Birthday” in 1915, just a few weeks before he and Bella got married. You can access both images at the Phaidon website: https://bit.ly/2MHfrQg 2 Part one: the photograph + dictation 1. Brainstorm your students for famous lovers from history and literature. Write ideas on the board. Here are some possibilities: • Romeo and Juliet • Cleopatra and Antony • Lancelot and Guinevere • Napoleon and Josephine • Bonnie and Clyde • Odysseus and Penelope 2. To the list, add: “Marc and Bella”. Note: It is unlikely but not impossible that someone will know about Marc Chagall and Bella Rosenfeld. If anyone makes the connection at any point during this activity, that is not a problem. Use this as an opportunity for the knowledgeable individual (or individuals) to tell the class everything they know about this famous couple from art history. Then continue with the activity. 3. Tell students that you are going to show them a picture of Marc and Bella. Display the photograph so that everyone can see it (see page 1). Ask the questions below. • Who are these people? Do you know them? • Can you guess – when was this photograph taken? (Answer: around 1938) • Can you guess – where was this photograph taken? (Answer: Paris) • Can you describe their relationship? (Elicit: They are in love. / They look like they are in love. / They look like they love each other a lot.) 4. Give out copies of the worksheet on page 3 and ask students to complete parts one and two. 5. Let students check their answers in pairs or small groups. Then go over the answers with the whole class. • If you are wealthy, you have a lot of money. • If you are penniless you are poor. (Literally, without a penny) • If you do something immediately you do it very quickly. • When two people love each other and stay together, they are in a relationship. • If you become something, you begin to be that thing. (E.g. I became a teacher in 2001.) • Inspiration is something that artists need. It is a feeling that makes you want to draw, paint, write, make films, etc. Come came Think thought Meet met Return returned Fall fell Get got Move moved Become became THE BIRTHDAY JAMIE KEDDIE, 2021 3 Worksheet 1.

Tell students that you have another picture of Marc and Bella. Before you show it to them, you are going to tell them a story. Note: Don’t tell students that this second image is a painting. They might assume that it is another photograph. If so, they will get a surprise when they see it. 2. Tell students not to worry if they don’t understand everything in the story – you will tell it to them three times. Note: As you tell the story: • Speak slowly and clearly. • Stop to ask questions as shown. • Use gesture to reinforce language whenever possible. • Give students space (i.e. pause) – space to hear, space to process and notice language, space to visualise, space to think. THE BIRTHDAY JAMIE KEDDIE, 2021 5 The Birthday It was the 6th July, 1915 It was a Tuesday And it was a special day Can anyone guess why it was a special day? It was Marc’s birthday He was 28 years old And he was at home I don’t know what he was doing Perhaps he was painting Now, Marc didn’t like people to know his birthday He liked to keep it a secret But Bella was very clever We don’t know how she did it But she discovered Marc’s date of birth And she decided to give Marc a birthday surprise She arrived at his home She was was carrying food, gifts and flowers Marc was very happy to see her – you could say that he was over the moon! So this second picture is a birthday picture It’s very colourful Lots of red, lots of green, lots of black and lots of white Colourful and romantic Marc and Bella are in a room in Marc’s home It might be a bedroom or it might be a living room – I’m not sure It has a red carpet and a white wall Marc is wearing black trousers and a green jumper Bella is wearing a black dress with a white collar She is holding a bunch of flowers Bella is facing left and Marc is facing right Bella has one foot on the floor It looks like she is taking off!

The Birthday Marc Chagall, 1915 Public domain image 9. Ask students if they have any questions about Marc and Bella. If so, you can either answer these yourself or ask students to go online and find out the answers for themselves. Some more notes: • Full names: Marc Chagall and Bella Rosenfeld. • They were both born in the Belorussian city of Vitebsk. • Marc was two years older than Bella. • 19 days after Chagall’s birthday, the couple got married. • In 1916, Bella gave birth to their first and only child – a baby girl called Ida. • In 1924, the family moved to Paris. • In 1941, they escaped Nazi-occupied France and settled in New York. • In 1944, Bella died suddenly at the age of 48. This is one of art’s true love stories. In his book My Life, Chagall described his first meeting with Bella: "Her silence is mine, her eyes mine. It is as if she knows everything about my childhood, my present, my future, as if she can see right through me.” Bella later wrote, "When you did catch a glimpse of his eyes, they were as blue as if they’d fallen straight out of the sky.

An apt description of this remarkable, luxuriant flower piece whose fantastic, iridescent forms entwine into rich, intricate layers of texture and tone. Rising from a small, central vase, Chagall’s intense and exubrant flowers almost fill the canvas, the vibrant blooms exploding from their verdant, blue/green foliage like fireworks. A delicate balance of painting and drawing, the arrangement defines and densely layers a variety of flora, contrasting luscious passages of brilliant, opaque colour with bright patches of paper, revealing the artist’s sophisticated gouache technique and power as a colourist. A lyrical painter-poet in his own right, Chagall’s vital vision of miraculous bounty is framed, but not bounded by an open window on the left with two ethereal figures delineated beneath in a pale, otherworldly predella.

  • Beyond the Existing Readings of Marc Chagall's Crucifixion Paintings
    Resistance, Resurrection, Liberation: Beyond the Existing Readings of Marc Chagall’s Crucifixion Paintings A thesis submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Art in Art History in the Department of the School of Art of the College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning (DAAP) by Jennifer Horvath March 10, 2015 B.S. University of Virginia May, 1993 Committee Chair: Kimberly Paice, Ph.D. Abstract This study deals with a small body of crucifixion scenes that were rendered by the well- known Russian and Jewish Expressionist artist Marc Chagall (1887-1985). It closely reads these works, made between 1937 and 1952 when Chagall lived in exile in France and the United States. Extensive scholarship and The Jewish Museum’s exhibition Chagall: Love, War, and Exile (2013-14), have emphasized ways that these paintings speak to the then-current tragedies and suffering of Jews associated with the Holocaust. This study builds on this established research. Yet, it offers a nuanced reading of the iconographical and compositional strategies that Chagall uses. Here, the lyrical-expressionist style and dream-like spatial qualities of his early modernist works infuses his painted crucifixions with the condition of exile. By emphasizing the circulation of the affects of love and hate through a network of signs, Chagall ties the theme of the crucifixion to a life of perpetual exile and to the sense of not belonging that goes with such a life. As explained in the study, Chagall’s crucifixion scenes relate as much to the suffering of humanity and Jews in the Holocaust as to the hoped-for liberation and subsequent failed promises of the Russian Revolution, to Chagall’s childhood in the Pale of Settlement, and to his lifelong experience of exile and desire to find a place in the world.

  • Marc Chagall French (Naturalized) Modern Artist (1887-1985)
    Hey Kids, Meet Marc Chagall French (Naturalized) Modern Artist (1887-1985) Marc Chagall was born in Belarus on July 7, 1887 to Feige-Ite and Khatskl (Zakhar) Shagal who was a herring merchant. Marc was the oldest of nine children from a loving Jewish family. His childhood was a happy one and images from that period of his life appear throughout his work.

One year later he married his fiancée, Bella Rosenfeld. In 1916 the Chagall's gave birth to their first child; a daughter they named Ida. In 1930, Chagall was asked to create a series of Bible prints that would illustrate scenes from the Old Testament. By 1939 he had completed 66 of the prints. He returned to finish the project 13 years later. In 1937 Chagall became a French citizen. But four years later the Chagall's fled to the United States because of the Nazi's occupation of France during World War II. Chagall lived in the U.S. until 1948. In his later years Chagall created a series of large projects for civic building and churches. For St. Stephan's church in Germany he created a set of nine glowing blue stained glass windows depicting stories from the New Testament. These windows were intended to be part of an effort to rebuild relationships between the Jewish and German people. His project was particularly important to him as he had fled Nazi's occupied France several decades before.

    CHAGALL Marc Chagall was born in Vitebsk, Russia on July 6, 1887 and passed away in St. Paul-de-Vence, France on March 28, 1985. Chagall is one of the world’s great pioneers of Modernism who com- bined Cubism, Symbolism and Fauvism to inform many different art me- diums including painting, book illustration, stained glass, ceramic, tap- estries and fine art prints. He has been called the quintessential Jewish artist of the 20th century. When the artist was in his fifties, he found his true artistic voice as a lithographer. Over the next forty years, he went on to create over 1,000 original lithographs by painting directly on the stone, producing a re- nowned original body of work. The young artist studied art in Vitebsk and St. Petersburg. In 1925 he illustrated the Fables of La Fontaine for Vollard. In 1945 he was given a retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City and Chica- go. In 1964, his stained glass “Peace” window was inaugurated at the United Nations building in New York City. In 1965, he completed murals for the new Metropolitan Opera at Lincoln Center, New York. In 1977, he was awarded the Grand Cross of the Legion d’Honneur. On the cente- nary of the artist’s birth, a large exhibition opened at Pushkin Museum in Moscow and a Chagall Museum was opened in Vitebsk. Most of Chagall’s inspirations were found in his memories of life in Vitebsk, Russia and its Jewish community. We also see much homage to the Scriptures, love, folklore and Russian folk art and icon painting.

  • CHAGALL Keynote
    Marc Chagall “Chagall” He was born Moishe Segal in a Jewish family near Vitebsk, Russia, in 1887. Vitebsk was a picturesque city of synagogues and churches built mostly of wood. Very little survived after World War II. He belonged to a very religious family, and he was the oldest of nine children. ! His father was employed by a herring merchant for a small income. His mother sold groceries from their home. The Russian government confined Jews causing the creation of Jewish market villages called shtetls throughout Eastern Europe. Jewish children could not attend regular schools. Chagall’s primary education was at local Jewish religious schools where he studied Hebrew and the Bible. His mother enrolled him in a Russian high school when he was 13 by giving the headmaster 50 rubles. The turning point in his artistic career was when he noticed a fellow student drawing. It was like a vision. ! His friend told him: “Go and find a book in the library … choose any picture you like and just copy it.” Chagall started copying images and decided he wanted to be an artist. ! 1906: Chagall enrolled at the studio of Yehuda Pen, a realist artist who offered Chagall free classes, but Chagall did not enjoy portrait painting. ! Chagall got a temporary passport from a friend to move to St. Petersburg to enroll in a prestigious art school. He studied there for two years. He started painting naturalistic ! self-portraits and landscapes. He met Bella Rosenfeld during a visit to Vitebsk and got engaged.! 1910 He relocated to Paris by himself.

  • Marc Chagall
    Marc Chagall (1887 - 1985) Marc Chagall is a painter known for his fusion of brilliant colors, dreamlike imagery, and religious qualities. His childhood served as a great inspiration for much of his subjects – Jewish life and folklore. The themes portrayed in his art alienated him from the modernist movements taking place in the early 20th century. Born in Vitebsk, Russia, in 1887, Marc Chagall belonged to a poor family of Hasidic Jew descent. He was the eldest of nine children. In 1907, at the age of 20, the young Chagall pursued his love of art by studying painting under teacher Pen. That same year, he also attended the Imperial Society for the Encouragement of Arts in St. Petersburg. In 1909, he met his future wife, Bella Rosenfeld Like many artists of his time, Chagall decided to move to Paris in 1910 to pursue his career. Upon his arrival into the city, he was immediately drawn into a circle of contemporary poets and painters. Chagall is well known for having distanced himself from the popular avant- garde movements of his time. The first instance of this was seen in 1911, when refused to formally align himself with the Cubists in Paris. In 1913, Chagall opened his own studio, and exhibited for the first time at the Independents. One year later, Chagall had his first personal show, organized by Walden, in Berlin. He called Berlin home for some time during 1914. He eventually returned to his childhood home of Vitebsk in 1915 at the outbreak of the Russian Revolution. After the war ended, Chagall remained in Russia as he was named director of the Art Academy in Vitbsk, until he resigned in 1920 to move to Moscow.

Honored for his distinct style and pioneering role among Jewish artists, Marc Chagalâ¦Â He worked in several mediums, including painting, printmaking, and book illustration, and his stained glass windows can be seen in New York, France, and Jerusalem. Chagall arrived in Paris in 1910 and began experimenting with Cubism, befriending painters Robert Delaunay and Fernand Léger. Chagallâ™s style has been described as a hybrid of Cubism, Fauvism, and Symbolism, and his supernatural subjects are thought to have significantly influenced the Surrealists. Though he actively engaged in the Parisian artistic community, art for Chagall was first and foremost a means of personal expression. Marc Chagall was born Moishe Segal in a Lithuanian Jewish Hassidic family in Liozna, near the city of Vitebsk (Belarus, then part of the Russian Empire) in 1887. At the time of his birth, Vitebsk's population was about 66,000, with half the population being Jewish. A picturesque city of churches and synagogues, it was called "Russian Toledo", after a cosmopolitan city of the former Spanish Empire. Marc Chagall. French-Russian Draftsman, Painter, and Printmaker. Movements and Styles: Expressionism, Cubism. Born: July 7, 1887 - Vitebsk, Russian Empire (present day Belarus). If the painting stands up beside a thing man cannot make, the painting is authentic. If there's a clash between the two, it's bad art." Marc Chagall. Marc Chagall's poetic, figurative style made him one of most popular modern artists, while his long life and varied output made him one of the most internationally recognized.
