Essay options

Option 1.

war, everyone was addicted to the game.

Option 2

In S. Grigoriev’s painting “Goalkeeper” we see a football match, players and spectators located in a vacant lot. Of the players, only the goalkeeper is depicted; the rest are not visible in the picture. The goalkeeper, judging by the gloves on his hands, his face expressing seriousness, and his sinewy legs, is very experienced and has stood in goal more than once. The goalkeeper, a boy of twelve or thirteen years old, stood waiting for an attack on his goal. He's right after school. This is clear from his briefcase lying instead of a barbell.

The goalkeeper, players and spectators are not on a football field, but on a vacant lot not intended for football.

In the background is a boy behind the gate and spectators. Probably the boy in the red suit plays well, but he was not taken because he is younger than the players. He looks only nine or ten years old. But by the look on his face, he really wants to play.

Spectators are of all ages: children, an uncle, and a small child. And everyone is very interested in the game. Only the dog, probably one of the spectators, is not watching the game.
The location of the film is Moscow. Stalin's buildings are visible in the background.

It's autumn outside. Late September – early October. The weather is wonderful, warm, because everyone is dressed lightly: in windbreakers, some - kids - in hats, the goalkeeper - in shorts. I liked this picture because it is “alive”. I feel the emotions that the guys are filled with: both the players and the spectators.

Option3.

In front of me is a painting by S. Grigoriev “Goalkeeper”. In this picture the main character is the goalkeeper.
In the foreground is a boy - a goalkeeper. He is standing at the gate. If you look at him, you can say that he takes his responsibilities professionally. The goalkeeper has a very serious look. He has a bandage on his right leg, probably injured in previous games. He himself may be expecting a penalty. Behind him stands a boy in a red suit. Apparently, he also wants to play football, but he is not allowed in because he is small compared to other players. The guys are after school and that’s why they have briefcases instead of weights.
The audience is shown in the background. They all watch the game with passion. Each of them is especially interesting, but I like the dog the most because she is the only one not watching the game.

The man sitting on the side watches what is happening with great enthusiasm. It's as if he's remembering the years when he was young and played football himself. He is dressed in a suit. In his handbook. This means that he is accidentally watching the game, because... he went out to read it, but could not resist and began to watch the match. Children are sitting next to him. One girl is especially interesting to me because she has something incomprehensible in her hands: either a fish, or a doll, or a baby.

S. Grigoriev depicted the moment of playing football. The artist’s painting shows autumn, a cloudy day. The bushes and grass have already turned yellow. The guys gathered after school to play football. The observers were dressed lightly. The background of the painting depicts an ancient industrial city. In the distance one could see a bluish government office with a red flag, damp residential areas, and new buildings. The domes of churches are visible in the ancient city. Ancient buildings are shrouded in fog. In an industrial city, the sky is yellow-gray. And in the old one - gray-blue. The guys are playing football in a vacant lot. The makeshift football ground has been trampled down.

Spectators carefully watch the game. They are passionate about her. To the right of the goalkeeper are the ruins of a building. Two briefcases represented a gate. Pioneer ties and corners of books were visible from them. Next to the goalkeeper lay a white dog with a black ear. The goalkeeper was wearing blue football shorts and a black jacket. His knee was bandaged and he had gloves on his hands. The boy looked twelve years old (there were wrinkles on his forehead). The “referee” stood next to the goalkeeper. The artist wanted to show the excitement of the game. The picture was painted in dim, muted colors in nineteen forty-nine. Despite the fact that four years ago it endedwar, everyone was addicted to the game.

Another girl in a red hat crouched down to better observe what was happening. Apparently, she’s not doing this very well, because the man is blocking the guys’ entire view.
A boy peeks out from behind the girl. He watches the game so closely that he’s even freaking out. Next to him stands a girl with a large bow, and below is a boy with his younger brother sitting on his lap, wrapped in whatever he wants - he’s probably hot.
Large houses are depicted in the background of the painting. So they are in Moscow. It's autumn in the picture.
The sun is already setting, because the sky is starting to turn red on the left side. It's time for the children to go home.

I didn't really like the picture because it's boring. And it's time for the children to go home and do their homework.

DURING THE CLASSES

A story about an artist.

Sergei Alekseevich Grigoriev - People's Artist of Ukraine, was born in Lugansk (Donbass) in a large family of a railway worker.

He became widely known as the author of works on family and school topics. The artist's best paintings dedicated to children. Among them are the famous paintings: “Discussion of the deuce”, “Fisherman”, “First words”, “Young naturalists”. The painting “Goalkeeper” brought well-deserved fame to the artist. The author was awarded the State Prize.

Conversation on the painting:

What time of year and day is shown in the picture? How did you determine this?

(Autumn. The castings have turned yellow and are falling from the trees. They are scattered on the ground. The artist depicted a fine autumn day, probably midday, because the shadows from people and objects are short, straight. The sky is clear, it feels like the sun is shining.)

Where does the action depicted in the picture take place?

(The guys play on an empty area behind the house, and not on a real football field: they “built” the goal, returning from school, from briefcases, bags and berets.)

Who is the main character in the picture?

(Goalkeeper boy)

How did the artist depict the goalkeeper? Describe his posture, figure, facial expression, clothes.

(The goalkeeper leans on his knees, stands bent over in a tense position, waiting for the ball, intently watching the game. From his pose it is clear that the ball is far from the goal. But the goalkeeper is ready to enter the game at any moment and defend his goal. The boy wants to be like like a real goalkeeper, he tries to imitate them even in his clothes: he is wearing a dark sweater, short pants, large leather gloves on his hands, socks down on his feet, galoshes tied with a ribbon, his knee is bandaged, he probably often had to fall while defending his goal. It is clear that the goalkeeper is a brave, fearless boy.)

Describe the little boy who stands behind the goalkeeper.

(Behind the goalkeeper, standing in a calm pose with his hands behind his back and his stomach sticking out, is a kid in a red ski suit. He also considers himself a football expert, he wants to take part in the game, but he is not accepted yet).

How did the artist show the audience's interest in the game of football? Who is particularly passionate about what is happening? Describe them.

(The views of all spectators are directed to the right, to the field, to where the intense struggle for the ball is taking place. An adult fan who ended up here by chance (he is not dressed for sitting on the boards in the yard: in an elegant embroidered shirt, medal stripes on the lapel of his jacket, a folder in his hand with papers, a hat on his head), completely captivated by the spectacle of the game, and just look he will rush into battle. The boy in a dark green ski suit with a red tie is also very passionate about the game. He looks with his head stretched out and his mouth open. The boy is closely watching the game with a baby in her arms and a girl with a red bow on her head. Other girls - with a doll, in a red cap, in a hood - watch what is happening more calmly, although they do not take their eyes off the game).

Who is indifferent to what is happening on the field?

(Baby, wrapped in a warm scarf and a lop-eared dog curled up at her feet).

Why is the painting called Goalkeeper?

(The goalkeeper is the main character of the picture. The artist showed a brave, enthusiastic goalkeeper who arouses our sympathy).

What do you think the artist wanted to say with his painting, what is its main idea?

(Football is interesting to everyone.
Football is my favorite sport.
A fearless goalkeeper with experience in his goal.)

Unlike a writer, an artist depicts one specific moment in a picture. It is interesting that S.A. Grigoriev did not depict the football match itself in his picture: from the tense pose of the goalkeeper, from the expression on the faces of the spectators, we guess that there is now an acute moment of the game on the field. To reveal his idea, the artist uses such means of painting as color, lighting, and composition.

Let's look at how the picture is constructed. Where - in the foreground or in the background - did S.A. depict? Grigoriev of the main character, the goalkeeper?

(The goalkeeper is depicted in the foreground, almost in the center of the picture, separately from other team players. He is clearly visible and immediately catches the eye, attracting our attention)

Who is depicted in the background of the picture?

(Children and a young man, they are positioned so that everyone is clearly visible)

What do you see in the background?

(City, huge buildings, residential buildings)

Let's pay attention to the details in the picture (gates constructed from briefcases, bags and hats, the goalkeeper's bandaged knee and leather gloves, etc.), and find out their role in revealing the artist's intention.

What colors and shades did the artist use to emphasize the cheerful nature of the event depicted in the picture?

(Warm colors and shades of yellow, light brown, red. The ground is light brown, on the bushes and on the field the leaves are golden, orange, the boards on which the fans are sitting are light yellow. The boy who stands behind the goalkeeper is wearing a red suit. a hat on a girl, embroidery on a man’s shirt, a bow on a schoolgirl, ties. These colors and shades help convey the intensity of the depicted action, delight our eyes, and contribute to a cheerful, good mood.)

Do you like this picture?

(Yes, because everything is depicted on it as it happens in life. I want to be on this field myself and play football.)

Vocabulary work . In order to prevent spelling errors, the spelling of words such asfootball, competition, match, leather gloves, jacket, sweater (pronounced hard [t]),hood, in a light haze, outlines of construction sites.

Exciting match, football competition, bend slightly, start the game, react quickly, take possession of the ball, attack the goal, cover the goal, fearless goalkeeper, not touching the ball with his hand, rubbing his bruised knee with his hand

Drawing up a plan for describing the painting.

First, let's name the main subtopics of the story, for example:

1) place and time of action;
2) athletes;
3) spectators;
4) the artist and his painting.

We emphasize the conventionality of the named sequence of description and the possibility of constructing the story differently, for example, it can begin with a message about the artist, then describe the athletes, then the spectators, and at the end - the time, place of action, etc.

After this, we propose to turn the description scheme into a plan, that is, to specify each point of the scheme and make it more meaningful. As a result of such work, students write down (on their own) a plan for describing the picture, for example:

1 option

1) Behind the house on a fine autumn day.
2) Fearless goalkeeper and his assistant.
3) Spectators “get sick” in different ways.
4) The artist’s skill: successful composition, expressive details, soft coloring of the picture.

Option 2

1) The theme and main idea of the picture.
2) Description of the painting by S.A. Grigoriev “Goalkeeper”:

a) in a vacant lot on a fine autumn day;
b) fearless goalkeeper;
c) a boy in a red suit;
d) fans and spectators.

3) Features of the composition of the picture.
4) The role of details in the picture.
5) Color of the picture.
6) My attitude in the picture.

The page provides a description of the painting Goalkeeper. Grigoriev Sergei Alekseevich wrote this funny story in the post-war period in 1949, where he depicted children playing football and the main character in which is a boy goalkeeper against the backdrop of gathered fans. The autumn weather outside is not clear; Moscow's Stalinist buildings can be seen far away in the haze.

The theme of this painting, Goalkeeper, corresponds to the atmosphere of that time; football is probably the most favorite game of children in the post-war period, since, apart from school homework, children had nothing special to do; at that time they did not have computers or modern smartphones. In addition to playing war games, children played football in courtyards, in parks and, as in this story, in a vacant lot.

In the film Goalkeeper Grigoriev, in addition to the fans watching the match, he mainly shows us one player defending the goal, the boy goalkeeper, all the other football players were behind the scenes.

Our hero, prepared to throw for the ball, looks like he is ten to twelve years old, and has probably already gained experience in several similar matches. Wearing boots tied with ropes, he leaned forward in readiness, resting his gloved hands on his knees and fixed his gaze in the direction of the ball.

The bandaged knee tells the viewer that he has already had a bad fall and scratched his leg. In this position, the boy expresses the complete seriousness of his intentions to protect his gate, consisting of two abandoned school bags. The result of a given match and, of course, his authority among his other peers may depend on his boyish agility and quick reaction.

The children's game of football attracted many fans, their eyes fixed on the moving ball, which the boys were not quite skillfully kicking. The bulk of the fans are local children of different ages, girls and boys, who were also joined by an adult guy in a hat, perhaps he was walking along the street and accidentally wandered into this vacant lot, seeing an interesting game of youngsters, sat down next to the children on a pile of roughly folded boards prepared for construction barns or housing destroyed after the war. By his appearance, one can determine a rather attentive interest in the result of what is most likely the most interesting stage of the game, possibly a penalty.

To the left of the goalkeeper, a young boy in red pants and a shirt is modestly watching the game; in his gaze one can feel the desire to join the game, but his older comrades do not yet trust him with the role of a player and he looks sadly, standing with his hands behind his back. Next to the children you can see a yard dog curled up in a ball, which is not interested in football and does not pay any attention to the children’s play.

As we already know, the author of the picture loved children very much, given the fruitful creative biography of the artist Sergei Grigoriev, he created many similar paintings about children and school. Among his notable works about children are the following: “Discussion of the deuce”, “Admission to the Komsomol”, “Young Naturalists”, “Pioneer Tie” and many many others.

Today Grigoriev’s painting Goalkeeper is in the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow

January 23, 2015

For a long time, football has remained one of the most favorite games not only of boys, but also of respectable adults. For them, there is nothing more exciting than scoring a ball into a goal after passing through an endless number of obstacles. Many films and songs are dedicated to this game. Artists don’t forget about it either. The painting "Goalkeeper" is interesting. Sergei Alekseevich Grigoriev, the artist who created it in 1949, managed to accurately convey on canvas all the excitement and emotions inherent in this sports game. Today the canvas is kept in the Tretyakov Gallery, and anyone can see it.

Biography of the artist

Sergei Grigoriev is a famous Soviet painter who depicted in his works the life of the younger generation of the post-war era. He was born in 1910 in Lugansk. In 1932 he graduated from the Kiev Art Institute, after which he began teaching there. In his paintings, the artist raised problems of moral education of Soviet youth.

In addition to “The Goalkeeper”, he wrote such works as “Returned”, “Discussion of the deuce”, “At the meeting” and others. For his work, the painter was twice awarded the Stalin Prize, as well as several medals and orders. Despite the fact that the artist lived in the Soviet era, his work has not lost its relevance to this day. In 7th grade, students are asked to write an essay based on Grigoriev’s painting “The Goalkeeper.”

Getting to know the artist's creation

Teaching children to be creative is one of the priorities of the modern educational system. Teachers invite children to write a description of the painting “Goalkeeper” by Grigoriev in order to bring them closer to art, develop their ability to logically formulate their thoughts, and teach them to express their own opinion about what they see on the canvas. In order to successfully write an essay on the proposed topic, students first need to carefully analyze the scene depicted in the picture.

When starting a description of S. Grigoriev’s painting “Goalkeeper,” it is necessary to remember in what era it was created. 1949 was a difficult time for Soviet people. Only 4 years had passed since the end of the Great Patriotic War, and the country was recovering at a rapid pace. New businesses and residential buildings appeared. The vast majority of citizens lived poorly, but the peaceful sky above their heads gave them hope for a bright future. Post-war children, who remembered all the horrors of deprivation and bombing, grew up unspoiled and knew how to enjoy everyday things. For example, playing football. This is precisely the episode that the artist conveys in his work.

S. Grigoriev “Goalkeeper”: essay based on the painting. Where to begin?

The action described on the canvas takes place in an abandoned wasteland. Children came here after school to play football. The main character of the plot is an ordinary boy standing on an improvised gate, the border of which is marked with student briefcases. Instead of benches in the vacant lot, there are logs where the fans are located: seven children and an adult man in a suit and hat. Another boy is watching the game, standing behind the goal. That's all the picture "Goalkeeper" represents. Grigoriev also depicted a white dog. She is curled up at the feet of the smallest fan and sleeps peacefully, not showing any interest in what is happening around her.

When writing an essay describing the painting “Goalkeeper” by S. Grigoriev, you need to pay attention not only to the appearance of the football field, but also to the landscapes that can be seen behind it. Temples and multi-storey buildings are clearly visible in the background, from which we can conclude that the action takes place in a big city. The football match took place in the fall, as the vacant lot is surrounded by bushes with yellowed leaves. Judging by what the youngest fans were wearing, the weather outside was cool, but it had not yet gotten completely cold.

Meet the goalkeeper boy

An essay based on Grigoriev’s painting “Goalkeeper” must necessarily contain a detailed description of the main character. The boy standing on the gate looks no more than 12 years old. He is dressed in a blue jacket, from the neck of which one can see the snow-white collar of a school shirt, shorts and shoes. The young goalkeeper has gloves on his hands. His knee is bandaged, but the injury did not stop him from continuing the intense and exciting game. The goalkeeper bent slightly, and all his attention was focused on the field that remained outside the picture. The viewer does not see the rest of the players and can only guess from the tense face of the goalkeeper that a serious game is underway and the ball is about to end up in the goal. The fate of the match is in the hands of the boy and he, understanding all the responsibility, tries to avoid a goal at all costs.

Other heroes of the canvas

When writing a description of the painting “Goalkeeper” by Grigoriev, students need to pay attention to the tension present among the fans, where there are both boys and girls. None of the kids can take their eyes off the field. The ball is already very close to the goal, and the intensity of passions has reached its peak. The children sitting on the logs would love to join the game, but they are still too young and the older kids don’t take them on as football players. But supporting the team is also a very responsible activity, and the kids gave themselves completely to it. The most desperate of the boys could not resist and ran out of the gate. Realizing that the outcome of the game does not depend on him at all, he still cannot sit still.

What stands out against the background of the kids is an adult man who also came to cheer for the kids. A description of S. Grigoriev’s painting “Goalkeeper” would not be complete without mentioning this colorful character. It is unknown who the man depicted is. Perhaps he is the father of one of the children, or perhaps he simply could not pass up the exciting action. What is striking is the passion with which an adult and serious man watches a child’s game, and how worried he is about its outcome. No less than the kids, this man would like to be on the football field now and take the ball from the enemy.

Features of the work

The painting “Goalkeeper” conveys a total passion for football. Grigoriev was able to focus the attention of the audience on the emotional side of the game, showing how it captivates everyone present in the vacant lot. Despite its advanced age, the picture is still very relevant today, because millions of people all over the planet are passionate about football. Modern secondary school students will be interested in describing the plot of the picture, since this sport is familiar to them from an early age.

Grigoriev's painting "Goalkeeper" is painted in rather restrained colors. Its color scheme conveys the mood of the post-war era. Cold gray tones indicate the hard life that befell the people, who with their own hands were forced to raise the country from ruins. And only bright red elements, which stand out especially clearly against the gloomy background, give the canvas optimism and confidence in a happy and cloudless future.

To make it easy for secondary school students to complete the teacher’s assignment on the topic “Artist Sergei Grigoriev. “Goalkeeper”: an essay based on a painting,” they need to draw up a short outline before creating the text. In the work you need to make an introduction, then briefly talk about the biography of the painter and after that move on to a description of the plot of the work. Any essay should end with conclusions in which the child talks about what impression he has after a detailed study of the picture. He needs to justify his conclusions.

Subtext of the plot of the picture
