An essay based on the painting by E. Shirokov “Friends” is often found in school curriculum. from the picture? How to write a text on behalf of a boy and in the first person? We will talk about all this in the article, providing examples of work.

from the picture?

To write an essay on a painting, you must first focus on what is depicted on it. Of course, as in every essay, there must be an introductory part, a main part and a concluding part.

In the introductory part you can write brief information about the artist Interesting Facts creating a work or describing general concept apt aphorism. For example, if you write an essay based on the painting “Friends” by E. Shirokov, then it would be appropriate to use statements about friendship and devotion.

The main part also depends on the plot. So, if the following are drawn on the canvas:

• Scenery. It must be described in detail, paying attention to even the most insignificant details. Pay attention to what the artist depicted in the foreground and background and write your thoughts regarding what he wanted to show.
• Historical battle. First of all, briefly tell us about what you have drawn. historical event. When describing a picture, pay attention not only to the main characters, but also to other participants in the battle, describe their facial expressions and poses and determine what exactly the author wanted to depict (rejoicing at the upcoming victory, indifference to what is happening, the bitterness of defeat, etc.)
• Portrait. When describing the person depicted in the portrait, you need to pay attention to her facial expression, feel the mood, try to convey the feelings that it evokes. The shape of the eyes, fine wrinkles, the line of the mouth - all this needs to be taken into account when writing the text.

You can finish your essay by thinking about why you liked or didn’t like the picture. You can write about what techniques the author used to achieve the desired effect, or describe the relevance of the depicted action in modern realities.

On behalf of the character

To prevent the description of a painting from seeming like a simple task, the school curriculum made it a little more complicated. Therefore, you often have to puzzle over how to write an essay based on E. Shirokov’s painting “Friends” on behalf of the boy who is depicted on it. This is a really difficult task, because only the artist knows everything about his character.

The first thing to do is try to understand his mood, and then imagine yourself in the hero’s place. As a plot point, you can describe the situation that caused a particular mood. For example, in an essay based on E. Shirokov’s film “Friends,” you can write that the boy had a fight with someone, and that’s why he’s sad. In the main part, describe what is depicted in the picture, but on behalf of its hero. For example, use introductory words such as: “In my room...”, “I see...”, “In front of me...”, etc.

First person

It is a little easier to complete an essay based on E. Shirokov’s painting “Friends” in the first person. The main essence of such a task is to show your personal view of the work. Therefore, it is worth using inputs such as:

• "I see";
• "I think";
• "I think";
• “from my point of view”, etc.

The main thing to remember here is that the personal pronoun “I” plays a key role in this task. Even in an essay based on E. Shirokov’s film “Friends,” the main place will be occupied by the author’s reflections on how he sees friendship.

Example 1: What does the boy think?

An essay based on the painting “Friends” by E. Shirokov on behalf of the boy can be presented as follows:

“Today, however, as always, they forgot about me. Sometimes I feel like I'm invisible. Those whom I used to call friends no longer pay attention to me. From the window I can hear them playing football and having fun. Perhaps it is common for human friendships to end.

There are gray walls around me again, water is quietly dripping from the faucet in the kitchen. I sat down on the red dog bed so as not to feel my loneliness so acutely. It’s strange, I remember bringing him when he was just a puppy, and now he has such beautiful, shiny and smooth fur that you want to touch it. My dog. The only creature that is always nearby. Even now he sticks out his ear and is ready to listen to everything I tell him. If only people could do the same.

Perhaps tomorrow everything will be different and in my life there will be new era. But today is today. My friend, let's sit like this for a little longer, and then we'll go for a walk. Without your support, I would have lost heart long ago.”

Example 2: First Person

As for the essay on E. Shirokov’s painting “Friends” in my own name, writing here is somewhat easier. After all, the author knows exactly what he himself is thinking about.

“In life, people rarely notice those who support them. And often this someone may not be a person at all. It’s not for nothing that they say that a dog is a man’s friend. The painting by E. Shirokov “Friends” shows the silent unity of two souls. And it doesn't matter that one of these two is a dog.

It seems to me that what makes this painting special is the background: a gray canvas with a line drawn in the upper left corner, which shows that these are walls. I think the artist deliberately ignored the interior to show how close the connection is between friends. It’s as if they are in another, their own little world. And there they share everything equally: joy, grief, and thoughts. I am sure that in their world they can talk to each other, it is only on the canvas that a boy with a dog is depicted, and in the place where their souls unite, these are two comrades of equal value to each other. I think that’s what the author wanted to say.”

This is how essays based on a painting are created: a little understanding of what is happening and everything is ready.

DURING THE CLASSES

A story about an artist

- Evgeny Nikolaevich Shirokov(born 03/28/1931) People's Artist of the USSR, one of the leading artists of the Urals, a brilliant master of Russian realistic art of the 2nd century. XX century. Awarded the Order of “Badge of Honor” (1981) and “Peter the Great”, a diploma from the Academy of Arts (1979), medals and certificates of the Ministry of Culture of the USSR and the RSFSR, Supreme Council RSFSR (1973). Slide 2
Shirokov's works are stored in more than 15 museums in Russia, including the main treasury of national art - the State Tretyakov Gallery. His works are also in private collections in Russia and abroad.
The name Shirokov, especially in the 1960-1980s, was shrouded in legends and was one of the most striking artistic symbols of Perm. His works were eagerly awaited; they always evoked an interested reaction from viewers, artists, and art critics.

The works of E. Shirokov are characterized by powerful plasticity, thoughtfulness, sensitivity, and depth of psychological characteristics. Slide 3

He had his regular viewers, numerous and devoted admirers.
In Perm, Shirokov turned out to be the first artist who, with his position and creativity, was able to force both the authorities and society to talk seriously about fine art. Among Perm artists he has the most a large number of publications in the central press, not to mention local and regional.
Evgeniy Nikolaevich has students: since 1993, he has been a professor in the painting department of the Faculty of Arts of the Perm State Institute of Arts and Culture.
Shirokov Honorary Citizen of Perm (1998) and the Perm Region (1999). It can be said with good reason that Shirokov has a happy creative destiny.

- As an epigraph to the essay, I offer a sentence from I. Turgenev’s poem “Dog”. We read the text, with the students we choose the most appropriate one to describe the feelings that arise when viewing the canvas: Slide 4

“There are two of us in the room: my dog ​​and me. A terrible, furious storm is howling outside.
The dog sits in front of me and looks me straight in the eyes.
And I also look into her eyes.
It's like she wants to tell me something. She is mute, she is without words, she does not understand herself - but I understand her.
I understand that at this moment the same feeling lives in both her and me, that there is no difference between us. We are the same; The same quivering light burns and glows in each of us.
Death will swoop down and wave its cold wide wing at him...
And the end!
Who will then figure out what kind of fire was burning in each of us?
No! It’s not an animal or a person who exchange views...
These are two pairs of identical eyes looking at each other.
And in each of these pairs, in animals and in humans, one and the same life fearfully presses against the other.”

Before us is a painting by E. Shirokov “Friends”. Slide 5

It’s not worth talking about the fact that a dog and a person have a special relationship. How many films have been made about boys and dogs! But they cannot be compared with Shirokov’s canvas, in its realism and unusualness. The artist, on a subconscious level, is trying to convey to us that an animal can listen and alleviate suffering, will always be there and will never betray.

Conversation on the painting:(we keep a draft with the main points, choose the main thing)

Who is depicted on the canvas?

The painting shows a boy from the 20th century, dressed in blue t-shirt, dark blue pants and sandals.

He simply adores his dog, and she is delighted with the owner’s touch and presence. Black shiny fur, well-groomed, like silk, conveys all the boy’s love for his pet. It is difficult to name his breed, but this is not so important, because looking into his intelligent eyes, we notice that in addition to beauty, they glow with intelligence and health.

This animal also has very funny paws, as if they are wearing elegant white socks. The head lying on them occupies almost the entire foreground of the picture. In his kind, beady eyes one can read an understanding of the problems of his closest friend. One ear is raised, it is clear that the animal is listening attentively to the boy, trying not to miss a single word.

Can we understand by appearance boy, what's his mood?

Both the dog and the owner are sad. But the first one worries about the person’s sorrows, and not about his own. Animals can listen, understand and sympathize - that’s what the viewer sees on the canvas. And this is their devoted friendship to man. Most likely, the boy told her something sad from his life. The dog became sad with him and accepted his emotions as her own. We can only guess what actually happened to the student: his friends didn’t invite him to go out, he got a bad grade, or was punished by his parents for an offense. Only one thing is clear - an injustice has occurred in the life of this child, from which only communication with an animal can save him. The location of the heroes of the canvas relative to each other, the almost identical expression of the eyes convey the warmest, sincere and friendly feelings. For a boy, a dog is not just a pet, but a friend, a grateful listener and an adviser. And here you can safely recall Turgenev, who said that in animals and humans there is “one and the same life.”

What is shown in the background of the picture?

It is noteworthy that the artist does not clearly describe the background of the painting. Blurred walls are what surrounds friends. But if you look at what they are sitting on, the audience will not be at all surprised. This is dog bed. Not the bed, not the floor, and not the chair. Most likely, the animal did not even know about the insults, and the boy came to him, because only with him and on his territory does he feel confident and calm.

Is it possible to convey feelings and emotions with color?

As for the coloristic features of the painting “Friends,” all shades convey the mood of the boy and the dog. The background surrounded by a dirty gray wall - the best confirmation of the joylessness and gloom of the home atmosphere, the depression of the child and his depressed state. In addition, the gray background carries another semantic meaning - it becomes a reflection of the clarity of the figures.

The red-brown dog rug and yellow floor against the background of the images of the main characters, made in dark colors, seem somewhat out of place. But Shirokov would not be Shirokov if he had not achieved harmony. The viewer not only sees sadness - he feels it, and, first of all, thanks to the coloristic solutions of the work.

The cold tones of paint used by the artist perform another function - they become a contrast for the warm emotional human feelings.

Did the artist manage to convey the main idea of ​​his canvas?that a person and an animal can also be friends?

Surprisingly, the friends in the picture are not people. The friendship shown by Shirokov is unique. It lies in the unity of souls, the ability to love and be devoted. The dog and the boy don’t even need to talk - it’s important for them to be able to listen to their friend’s heart. Perhaps the boy in the picture did not find among people the same devoted and honest friend whom he found in the person of the dog. Such a stunning kinship of souls cannot but activate all the warmest feelings of the audience.

The work is worthy of admiration, if only because Shirokov managed to convey not just the poses of the characters, but the most important thing in human world- emotions. It is clear that the artist put all his love into every brush stroke, all his memories from childhood, and all his love for animals.

There are only two figures on a dirty gray background: a man and an animal - and we already see an almost textbook example of the concept of “friendship”. This includes mutual assistance, the ability to listen and support in grief, devotion, and the desire to be needed by your friend.

The boy in the painting "Friends" was very lucky: he found what few find - a devoted Living being, which will not only love him, but also protect and protect him. The black dog in the painting “Friends” is a real Polkan from Russian fairy tales, who gives his affectiononly the best people.

Any person needs a friend, communication and support. But the problem is finding this very friend. I want to find not just a friend in joy, but also someone who will give a helping hand in sorrow. Such friends are difficult to find among people, but among animals friendship, devotion and support will always be ensured. Animals, especially if we talk about dogs, will never betray and will serve faithfully until their last breath. The friendship between man and animal is the strongest, and it is this friendship that Shirokov depicts in one of his paintings called Friends.

E.N. Shirokov Friends

Our country is famous for its talented people, among whom there are many talented artists. If we talk about the second half of the twentieth century, it is worth highlighting the talented portrait artist E.N. Shirokova. This is an artist who painted canvases on different topics, using the genre of still life, landscape, thematic painting. But the most sought-after and popular paintings were those made in the portrait genre. Shirokov's painting Friends, which we are considering in 7th grade, also belongs to this style of writing.

Description of the picture

The plot of the painting Friends is simple and straightforward, but how much warmth and love comes from this work. This is true friendship, strong, devoted, faithful.
Most of the canvas is occupied by the main characters - a boy and a dog.

A guy in a blue T-shirt and gray pants sat down on the red mat where his faithful dog had previously slept. Most likely the boy had some problems. Maybe my parents scolded me, maybe there were problems at school. Doesn't matter. The main thing is that he needs support and wants to speak out. Here a dog comes to the rescue, with whom they have a warm and friendly relationship. The boy strokes the dog on the back, and most likely talks about what happened. After all, the dog even perked up his ear to hear everything and provide moral support.

The dog himself continues to lie. He is jet black and has only white spots on his paws, as if the dog was wearing socks. The animal is well-groomed, its fur shines, its eyes are calm, albeit slightly sad. This is understandable, the dog is worried together with the owner. The grooming of a dog shows how responsible his owner is and how much he loves and values ​​him. Both heroes of the picture settled down on the mat.

Speaking of the background, there is none as such. There is a wall behind the guy gray. The author deliberately did not use any accents so that the viewer would pay all the attention to the main characters of the picture, carefully examining every detail.

E. N. Shirokov, now a professor at the State Institute of Arts and Culture in Perm, is famous among his students. It's not even that he's one of the prominent representatives"severe style" It’s not even about the sad-romantic nature of his works, which inspire viewers with impressions of everyday worries and monumental characters, but about his special talent.

The name of this painter at one time (1960-1980) was well known to everyone; he became a living artistic symbol of Perm. His paintings were awaited like today's blockbuster premieres. And, in fact, they were a kind of action films, only from the field of painting. Spectators and colleagues, art critics and party leaders of that time were not indifferent to the work of E. Shirokov. The paintings were reprinted in magazines and became obligatory attributes of the Soviet home.

It’s amazing how, not in word, not in deed, but with a brush, Shirokov was able to convey totalitarian power, “turned” on communism and the people, who were carefully labeled as hard workers visual arts. They have written and will continue to write about him - Wikipedia, periodicals, local and regional. His students will listen to his lectures with delight, and the audience will once again admire the film “Friends”.

It’s not worth talking about the fact that a dog and a person have a special relationship. How many films have been made about boys and dogs! But they cannot be compared with Shirokov’s canvas, in its realism and unusualness. The artist, on a subconscious level, is trying to convey to us that an animal can listen and alleviate suffering, will always be there and will never betray.

By the way, Shirokov is not the only one who painted animals and children. If you think of Murillo, you will see an enthusiastic child from the 16th century, enjoying the company of his four-legged friend. Here is a boy from the 20th century, dressed in a blue T-shirt, dark blue pants and sandals.

He simply adores his dog, and she is delighted with the owner’s touch and presence. Black shiny fur, well-groomed, like silk, conveys all the boy’s love for his pet. It is difficult to name his breed, but this is not so important, because looking into his intelligent eyes, we notice that in addition to beauty, they glow with intelligence and health.

The location of the heroes of the canvas relative to each other, the almost identical expression of the eyes convey the warmest, sincere and friendly feelings. For a boy, a dog is not just a pet, but a friend, a grateful listener and an adviser. And, if you are one of the literary savvy people, then you can safely recall Turgenev, who said that in animals and humans there is “one and the same life.”

As for the coloristic features of the painting “Friends,” all shades convey the mood of the boy and the dog. The background is surrounded by a dirty gray wall - the best confirmation of the joylessness and gloom of the home atmosphere, the depression of the child and his depressed state.

So that the essay does not coincide with what is on the Internet. Click 2 times on any word in the text.

We have prepared several essays.

First essay

There is no person in the world who does not need friendship, because a friend is the dearest and closest creature in the world. He is always ready to listen and help. Sometimes it happens that it is difficult to find such a friend among people, especially in childhood. But the need to make friends, communicate, open your soul to someone is very strong, and then a pet – a dog – can become your family and friends.

Shirokov’s painting “Friends” describes just such a story. The boy’s friend became an ordinary dog; in the picture they are depicted sitting next to each other on the floor. There is some kind of invisible connection between them; they will never betray or abandon each other. The dog will always be next to his friend, if necessary, he will protect him, sacrificing his life.

Dark tones predominate on the canvas. The combination of cold colors and clear contours emphasizes the invisible feeling of warmth that the characters in the picture feel towards each other.

The painting “Friends” helps to understand what friendship is. The dog has always been a symbol of a true loyal friend who does not seek profit and for whom there are no boundaries. No circumstances can prevent her from coming to the aid of her friend. I believe that in friendship people should follow the example of dogs.

2. Essay based on Shirokov’s painting “Friends”

Plan:

1. Artist E.N. Shirokov.
2. Description of the composition and plot of the picture.
3. About the film "Friends".

Evgeny Nikolaevich Shirokov is a famous Russian painter. In 1986 he received the title folk artist THE USSR. His work is characterized by the special psychological expressiveness of the characters depicted in the paintings. The painting “Friends” is of great interest.

The heroes of the picture are a boy and his dog. The composition is structured so that they are both in the center of the canvas and look like equal characters. Cross-legged, the boy sits dejectedly next to the dog, leaning on the floor with one hand, and stroking his pet with the other hand. The dog lies with its head on its front paws, the owner’s mood has clearly rubbed off on her. Bending thoughtfully over the lying dog, the boy is sad about something, and it seems that he is having difficulty holding back his tears. He seems to want to talk to the dog and complain to it about something. Lost in thought, the boy absentmindedly strokes the shiny fur on his pet's back. There is sadness and sympathy in the eyes of an intelligent animal.

The picture is painted with dull, sparse colors. The dark-haired teenager is wearing a blue T-shirt, gray trousers and sandals. Big dog- black, with the exception of white “socks” on the paws. Against the background of a light gray wall, the silhouette of a bending boy is expressively drawn, in this way the artist emphasizes his depressed mood. The light brown floor and the crumpled red bedspread on which the heroes are sitting look so dull and everyday that they do not attract the slightest attention of the viewer. The emphasis is on the figures of the heroes and their relationships. This is not the owner and his dog, but two friends, and the title of the picture confirms this conclusion.

Perhaps the boy is in some kind of trouble, he is very upset about something. His four-legged friend probably just listened to some sad story; it’s not for nothing that one ear is raised. Help or give helpful advice, the dog, of course, has no power, but he can listen and show sympathy. This is sometimes most important in a difficult situation. Most likely, in half an hour the boy in in a great mood will run to play football, forgetting about his troubles. Restore peace of mind he will be helped, of course, by his four-legged friend.

The picture evokes a double sensation. In addition to the sadness that permeates the figures of the boy and the dog, there is a feeling of reliability, confidence that everything will be all right for the heroes of the work. They will always understand and support each other, the dog will be a faithful and devoted comrade, and the boy will carefully look after his pet and will be a good and responsible owner.

The painter's skill evokes genuine admiration. Painted with spare, somewhat gloomy colors, the composition of two figures psychologically accurately conveys many emotions - sadness, the desire to help each other, and calm confidence in tomorrow.

This work clearly demonstrates the artist’s ability to show the very essence of relationships, not only between people, but even between humans and animals. The picture reflects the readiness for mutual assistance, understanding, devotion, the ability to support in a difficult moment, that is, everything that can be called the words “true friendship.”

It is not for nothing that a dog has always been considered a friend of man; it listens and understands with its devoted heart, and even from a distance can feel that its owner is in trouble. If necessary, your four-legged friend will rush to help without hesitation, even at the risk of his life. And in Everyday life A dog enlivens monotonous everyday life and lifts the mood of its owners.

There are a number of works of art dedicated to the loyalty and devotion of dogs. One of the most worthy places in this series, undoubtedly, is occupied by the painting famous artist and the subtle psychologist Evgeny Nikolaevich Shirokov “Friends”.

3. Essay based on Shirokov’s painting “Friends”, 7th grade

On the table in front of me is a reproduction of Evgeny Shirokov’s painting “Friends”. It depicts a boy and a large black dog.

Dressed in a dark gray T-shirt and gray trousers, a dark-haired boy sits on the floor next to a lying animal. He strokes the dog's back with his hand, leaning over it thoughtfully. He has a sad face, his eyes are downcast. It is clear that the boy is very attached to his dog; they have a warm relationship. The title of the picture suggests that the boy and the dog are friends and share hardships between them.

The picture is painted with dull, dark colors. They emphasize the sad mood that has taken over her characters. The rumpled red blanket on which the boy and the dog are sitting, and the gray wall behind them, look dull and boring. Therefore, all the viewer’s attention is focused on the characters in the picture. Their mood is conveyed so accurately that you can guess their thoughts. It is clear that the boy needs help and participation. The dog has an understanding look, but, unfortunately, he cannot answer his young owner. She has one ear raised, listens carefully to the boy and with all her heart wants to understand his difficulties and support him. Yes, you can trust such a friend with everything: tell him about your failure in math, and tell him about your problems at home. Looking at the intelligent eyes of the animal, the thought comes that the dog is worried because its owner is feeling bad, and she cannot help and console him. But even just by showing participation, you can help a lot and bring benefits, sometimes this can be very important.

I really liked the picture, it depicts a warm and friendly relationship between the characters. I would like to have friends like them.
