Text
The king and the painter
There was a king who thought that he could paint very well. His pictures
were bad, but the people to whom he showed them, were afraid of the king.
They all said they liked his pictures very much.
One day the king showed the pictures to a great painter who lives in this
country and asked: “I want to know what you think of my pictures. Do you
like them? Am I a good painter or not?”
The painter looked at the kings pictures and said:”My king, I think that
your pictures are bad and that you will never be a good painter”.
The king was very angry and sent the painter to the prison.
After the two years the king wanted to see the painter again.
“I was angry with you”, he said, “because you didn’t like my pictures.
Now forget all about it. You are a free man again, and I am your friend”.
For many ours the king talked to the painter and even invited him for
dinner. After dinner the king showed his pictures to the painter and
asked:”Well, how do you like them now?”
 The painter didn’t answer. He turned to the soldier who was standing near
him and said, … “Take me back to the prison”.

2. Your Language Portfolio :Reading
Now we continue to make your language portfolio. Find Card 2 for reading
comprehension. Don’t forget that we have two variants.
Variant 1 - read the text about Pablo Picasso and do the tasks.

The painter.
On 25 October 1881 a little boy was born in Malaga, Spain. It was a difficult
birth and to help him breathe, cigar smoke was blown into his nose. But despite being
the youngest smoker this baby grew up to be one of the 20 th century’s greatest
painter’s – Pablo Picasso.
Picasso showed his truly exceptional talent from a very young age. His first
word was lapis (pencil for Spanish) and he learnt to draw before he could speak. He
was the only son in the family, and very good-looking, so he was thoroughly spoilt.
He hated school and often refused to go unless his doting parents allowed him to take
one of his father’s pet pigeons with him!
Apart from the pigeons, his greatest love was art, and when in 1891 his father,
who was an amateur artist, got a job as a drawing teacher at a college, Pablo went with
him to the college. He often watched his father paint and sometimes was allowed to
help. One evening father was painting a picture of their pigeons when he had to leave
the room. He returned to find Pablo had completed the picture, and it was so
amazingly beautiful and lifelike that he gave his son his own palette and brushes and
never painted again. Pablo was 13.
From then onwards there was no stopping him. Many people realized that he
was a genius but he disappointed those who wanted him to become a traditional
painter. He was always breaking of the aristocratic tradition and shocked the public
with his strange and powerful picture He is probably best known for his “Cubist”
pictures, which used only simple geometric shapes. His paintings of people were often
made up of triangles and squares with their features in the wrong ways. His work
changed our ideas about art, and to millions of people modern art mills the work of
Picasso.
Picasso created over 6000 paintings, drawings and sculptures. Today “A
Picasso” costs several million pounds. Once, when the French Minister of Culture was
visiting Picasso, the artist accidentally split some paint on the Minister’s trousers.
Picasso apologized and wanted to pay for them to be cleaned, but the Minister said:
“Non! Please, Monsignor Picasso, just sign my trousers!”
Picasso died of heart failure during an attack of influenza in 1973.

Variant 2 - read the text about Vincent Van Gogh and do the tasks.

The great painter.

 Vincent Van Gogh was an outstanding painter of the 19th century. He was born
in 1883 in Holland, but he lived much of his life in France. He was a very emotional
man and there was much suffering in his life.
Van Gogh did not start painting until he was 27, ten years before he died. Before
becoming a painter, he was a teacher, an art dealer and a church preacher.
However Van Gogh was mentally ill. During one of his fits of madness he
attacked his friend, the artist Paul Gauguin. In another fit of madness, he cut of part of
his own ear. Eventually he went into a mental hospital, but he did not get any better.
Finally, in 1890 Vincent Van Gogh shot himself. His last words were “The
sadness will continue”.
His style of painting was very different from classical art. He painted pictures of
the sunny, hot regions of France. Nobody has ever painted cornfields or sunflowers
like Van Gogh. His paintings are full of colour and sunlight. He looked for interesting
shapes and exiting colours. He liked to work freely and quickly. Today his paintings
are worth millions of pound, but in his lifetime he only sold one.
There is fast movement in many of his paintings. Sometimes the trees look like
fire. The sun, the moon and stars move rapidly in the sky. He also painted pictures of
people. Like his life his art was always unusual and very emotional.

Great job! Well done! Thank you! Take your sits!

some pictures of Vincent Van Gogh. Every picture has a number. Choose one
picture you’d like best, remember its number, write the thoughts or emotions of
the picture, share your thoughts with the class, but don’t tell its name. We’ll try
to guess what picture you mean. Now look at the pictures.
