Упр.41 Unit 1 ГДЗ English Михеева 10 класс

Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Михеева, Афанасьева 10 класс, Просвещение: 41 A. Look at the reproduction, read the text and try to answer the questions in it. SUNFLOWERS Van Gogh was interested in the symbolic significance of colours. A single colour — yellow — dominates “Sunflowers” making it a kind of symphony in yellow. Is there any variety in the range of yellows used? Can you describe the palest and the darkest shades of yellow? Other colours are used but which contrast most strongly with yellow? The whole mood of this painting is obviously determined by its yellows. How would you describe this mood? Think of the range of feelings you associate with yellow. What do you think yellow signified to Van Gogh? Is your first impression of “Sunflowers” that it was painted slowly over a considerable time, or produced rapidly? The way it is painted can be seen in the brushwork, which is used both to describe the sunflowers and to express their essential character. The circular centres are painted in thickly stripped yellow ochre paint which Van Gogh used to show the formation of the seeds. The background of the picture is very simple and rigid. Do you think it contrasts with the flowers? What does this contrast stress? Different stages in the life cycle of the flower are shown in this painting. Some flowers are not yet open, and it is easy to imagine them still growing. Others are heavy and ripe. A couple hang their hands as if they have passed their peak and have begun to die. Van Gogh obviously had to work rapidly for, once picked, sunflowers last only for a short time. Do you think Van Gogh wanted to show us how short-lived beauty could be?
B. What is your impression of this famous picture?

My impression of this famous picture is that it is bright, warm and full of life. The dominant yellow colour creates a cheerful but also slightly sad mood, because the flowers seem beautiful yet short-lived. The painting looks simple, but it is very expressive. Van Gogh shows the natural beauty of sunflowers and the idea that beauty does not last forever.
