Block Alexander Alexandrovich

Biography of Alexander Blok

Blok's parents separated immediately after the birth of the future poet, and he was brought up in the family of his mother, who belonged to the circle of St. Petersburg professorial families. After graduating from the St. Petersburg gymnasium from 1898 to 1901, he studied at the law faculty of St. Petersburg University.

As a poet, Blok was formed under the influence of the traditions of Russian classical literature. He began writing poetry early. At the beginning of his poetic path, the mystical romanticism of V.A. Zhukovsky turned out to be closest to him. The singer of nature, as Zhukovsky was called, taught the poet purity and loftiness of feelings, comprehension of the beauty of the surrounding world, contact with the secret of God, faith in the possibility of penetrating beyond the living.

INTERESTING FACT:

Blok wrote his first poems at the age of five.

An asteroid is also named after the poet.

dawn Alexander Blok I stood up and raised my hands three times. To me through the air rushed Dawn solemn sounds, Crimson dressing heights. The woman seemed to get up Prayed, leaving the temple, And threw a pink hand Grain obedient pigeons. They turned white somewhere higher Whitening, stretched out into a thread And soon overcast roofs Wings began to gild. Above their borrowed gilding, Standing high on the window I suddenly saw a huge ball, Floating in red silence http://ruspoeti.ru/aut/blok/t/14.html

Bird cherry sprinkles with snow ...

Pours bird cherry snow, Greenery in bloom and dew. In the field, leaning towards shoots, Rooks walk in a band.

The silk grasses are drooping, It smells of resinous pine. Oh, you, meadows and oak forests - I'm drugged in the spring.

A rainbow of secret news Glow in my soul. I think about the bride, I only sing about her.

Rash you, bird cherry, with snow, Sing you, birds, in the forest. On the field with an unsteady run Foam I will spread the color.

While working on the project, I found out:

• A. Blok and S. Yesenin wrote a lot of poems about the nature of Russia.
• In their poems, the authors speak with love and tenderness about the nature of their country.
• Reading the poems of these poets, I understand that nature has a soul, it is alive.

Project activity on acquaintance with the life and work of Sergei Yesenin

Type project: cognitive - creative.

Duration project: Long term (implemented within 9 months)

Members: Children, educator, music director, parents

Yesenin belongs to those artists whose works are characterized by great simplicity. They are understandable to anyone. reader: both adults and children. But the impressions received from contact with the lyrics Yesenin exactly at early age are usually the brightest and most unforgettable. Poetry Yesenin beneficially influences the personality of the child, develops the ability to subtly feel the form and rhythm mother tongue. The poet's poems enter the soul, merge with a feeling of love for the Motherland, expand knowledge about their people. Ryazan land, where "The men mowed and sowed their bread", was the country of his childhood. Russian nature, peasant way of life life, folk creation, great Russian literature - all this is the source of his poetry, this is what contributed to the formation of his great talent in early childhood. It is at this age that the full personality of the child is formed. And therefore, one of the important tasks of our kindergarten No. 119 in the city of Ryazan is to introduce children to art, to fiction in particular to poetry Yesenin which has a great educational, cognitive and aesthetic value on children.

And already at the first stages of work in this direction, I see that the interest of children in poetry and folk creativity is big enough. To this end, in our kindergarten a specially designated room was decorated in folk style, where the children get acquainted with the old Russian way of life. It is interesting for children to see a samovar, cast-iron pots and lids, a table with an embroidered tablecloth, shake the doll in shaky, examine the spinning wheel.

The process of mastering by children of various thematic blocks of studying the poetic heritage Yesenin carried out in various forms of children's educational activities: talk about poet's life« Yesenin is our countryman» ; entertainment dedicated to the 120th anniversary of the birth of the poet «» , where children get acquainted with Russian songs, ditties, sayings, riddles, where ancient folk games are played, lyrical songs on verses are also heard here Yesenin in which the beauty of Russian nature, native land is glorified, the peasant way of life is reflected the life of a Russian person; in educational excursion"Journey to the village of Konstantinovo" with the help of a video recording, children learned the ancient life of a peasant hinterland, saw the house where the poet lived; held a reading contest « Favorite edge» and drawing competition Yesenin's work; the folders of the movement and the album about the life and work of the poet, the guys performed in the children's library, where events were held dedicated to the celebration of the 120th anniversary of the poet's birthday. In the course of the work, a visual material: photographs of the poet's family, reproductions of paintings by season, slides, music library songs written in verse Sergei Yesenin.

Formation of feelings of patriotism in my project during the year was carried out through the integration different types children's activities(cognitive, artistic, visual, musical) and had a developmental nature of education based on children's activity.

To begin with, on walks with my group, I have a conversation on themes: "Seasons", "Nature paints", conduct speech exercises: "Let's put on a wreath of beautiful leaves-words, who will get the most magnificent wreath", "Say beautiful words about the snowy forest".

Then, I continue to introduce the guys to poetry Yesenin and try to verbally compose with them "Sinkwine".

Sincwine - poem, consisting of five lines, in which the child expresses his attitude to the subject, shows his feelings, associations.

The order of writing syncwine:

The first line is one keyword that defines the content of the syncwine.

The second line is two adjectives that characterize this concept.

The third line is three verbs showing the action of the concept.

The fourth line is a short sentence in which the author expresses his attitude.

The fifth line is one word, usually a noun, through which a person expresses his feelings, associations associated with this concept.

So after compiling all five lines, you get a small blank verse.

And after reading poems"Bird cherry" And "Birch" we got kids following:

SINKWINE

For the next stages of classes, I involve parents in the work and invite them to learn with their children what they like. poem, and then pick up illustrations or draw together with the child a picture of nature for the poet’s chosen work. And already in the next classes, children read what they have learned poems showing off your drawings. From the collected material I make an album about nature "Seasons". And in the classes on the world around me, I use pictures from this album when compiling "Venn Diagrams".

The chart is built on two or more intersecting circles. This technique helps to analyze and synthesize when considering two or three objects that have different and common features. In this case, I draw two intersecting circles on the board and place two circles above them. tree: mountain ash and birch, drawn by parents and children. The guys compare trees, and I write in circles (or show in pictures) those parts of the tree that they different: trunk, branches, leaves, flowers, fruits. Then, in the line of contact of the circles, we place everything that unites these plants: nutrition (by roots, sun and water, summer and autumn foliage colors, etc.

"Venn Diagram"

(Scheme 1)

You can give the guys the third circle of the diagram, but only after they fill in two circles, that is, you need to go gradually from simple to complex.

This work can also be done on interactive whiteboard (on the screen)

Work on this method contributes to active mental activities, improving memory, improves the ability to analyze, teaches to compare and distinguish.

So, gradually from contact with the beautiful world of nature, I bring the guys to Yesenin's life, and we in absentia go on an excursion called "Journey to Konstantinovo"(here, with the help of a multimedia system, a video is shown, compiled by me directly in the poet's homeland, in the village of Konstantinovo). The screen shows a house in which a peasant life is depicted, a school where the poet studied, a story is told about childhood Yesenin, here the nature that surrounds him from early childhood is depicted, gentle music sounds, which melodiously merges with the poems into a single whole. (Attachment 1). I divide all video material into sections, i.e. stages poet's life. In between passages, I conduct a question-and-answer conversation on the viewed material. Finally virtual tour the children and I examine the monuments to the poet, talk about their location and purpose. (Appendix No. 2).

All work was carried out in close cooperation with the parents. During the joint activities parents got acquainted with the work that was carried out during the year, attended various events, helped create a subject-developing environment, bringing objects of ancient life. Moveable folders for parents were issued, parent-teacher meeting on the topic "Patriotism in Yesenin's work» . And then, together with our parents, we collect photos and postcards about Yesenin's life, from which we make an album called « The life path of Sergei Yesenin» . All this contributes to the formation creative qualities of the child, the development of aesthetic taste, arouses interest in fiction and figurative thinking, and most importantly, forms patriotic feelings, a feeling of love for a small homeland and the work of our fellow countryman Sergei Yesenin.

In the process of systematic work, preschoolers learned to understand poetry Yesenin, expanded their literary horizons, showed interest in the history of their native land.

When the guys have already accumulated a certain amount of knowledge in this direction, I make up a cluster with them "Childhood Yesenin» .

In the center of the magnetic board keyword « ESENIN» I post a portrait of a young poet. Then I draw arrows in different directions from the reference word. Nearby on the table lie, pre-prepared for the answers of the children, cards: mom, dad, brother, sister, grandmother, grandfather, uncle, aunt, friends, school. I ask question: "Who surrounded Yesenina in childhood?» The children choose the right words and attach them to the arrows. At the next stage of the game, the children take out one picture from the album, which corresponds to a particular word on the card, and hang them one by one on the board, talking about their character or object. So by the end of the cluster design, the guys make up a whole story about the poet's childhood, about his home, school.

(Scheme 2)

"Cluster" allows children to be liberated, to think freely, makes it possible to evaluate their knowledge and ideas about the object being studied, helps to organize and develop dialogue communication, which leads to mutual understanding, interaction.

Using interactive teaching methods in my practice helps me organize studying proccess in such a way that almost all children are involved in the process knowledge they are able to understand and reflect on what they know and think. Joint children's activities in the process of learning, mastering the material means that everyone makes their own special individual contribution, there is an exchange of knowledge, ideas, ways activities. Moreover, this happens in an atmosphere of benevolence and mutual support, which allows not only to receive new knowledge, but also develops self-knowledge. cognitive activity.

All work on to familiarize children with the work of Yesenin contributed to the formation of patriotic feelings, the guys learned love your native land, subtly feel nature, notice its beauty, take care of the environment.

The poet himself believed that all the good and best in a person comes from childhood and remains in his heart for the rest of his life. a life. And the main treasure of the child and adult soul is the ability create to rejoice and marvel at the world. And only through spiritual development and development creative abilities children will glorify our beloved Fatherland as well how they praise native land for 120 years the poems of the great Russian poet, a wonderful native of the Ryazan region Sergei Yesenin.

The project was prepared by 11th grade students: Strelnikov S., Panferova V., Chebotareva K. The theme of the Motherland in the lyrics of Sergei Yesenin

Actualization of the theme The theme of the Motherland is relevant at all times

Goals and objectives To explore the work of S. Yesenin To note the features of the image of nature in poems To find out what place the theme of the Motherland occupies in Yesenin's lyrics

“I’m weaving a wreath for you alone, I’m pouring a gray stitch with flowers. Oh, Russia, a quiet corner, I love you, I believe in you ”S. Yesenin

The theme of the Motherland in Yesenin's lyrics The Russian village, the nature of central Russia, oral folk art, and most importantly, Russian classical literature had a strong influence on the formation of the young poet, directed his natural talent. “My lyrics are alive with one big love, love for the motherland. The feeling of the motherland is the main thing in my work.” S. Yesenin

Folk origins Landscape lyrics Philosophical reflections on the fate of the Motherland

S. Yesenin was born and raised in the Ryazan province, in the village of Konstantinovo, in a peasant family. “I grew up in an atmosphere of folk poetry,” he recalls. Yesenin's poetic speech developed in the spirit of folk traditions.

Peace folk life in all its manifestations is revealed to us when we read Yesenin. And thanks to the poet, we seem to be immersed in a wonderful state of celebration. A sensitive, receptive soul responded to everything that surrounded it, being filled with a quiet song created by the people for centuries, a song in which a Russian person used to express his joy and sadness, which was both his knowledge and his merging with him. Therefore, Yesenin's lyrics become a song that was born from a folklore tradition that spiritualized nature, endowed it with human features, human anxieties and pains, hopes and joys Folk origins

Folklore as the basis of the artistic picture of the world in the poetry of S. Yesenin. The foundations of Yesenin's poetics are folk, the influence of traditional Russian folklore is much stronger in it. I was born with songs in a grass blanket. Spring dawns twisted me into a rainbow. I grew up to maturity, the grandson of the Kupala night, The enchanted haze prophesies happiness to me. The heart-prophet, the mother-dove, the falcon-wind, the birch-bride, the month-lamb, the girl-blizzard - this is not a complete list of the poet's favorite paths that came to him from the laboratory of folk art

Nature in S. Yesenin's lyrics Throws bird cherry with snow, Greenery in bloom and dew. In the field, leaning towards shoots, Rooks walk in a band. The silk grasses are drooping, It smells of resinous pine. Oh, you, meadows and oak forests, - I am drugged in the spring. All the wealth of verbal painting in Yesenin is subordinated to the goal - to let the reader feel the beauty and life-giving power of nature:

Features of landscape lyrics personification color painting sound painting Landscape lyrics

Features of the image of nature in Yesenin's poetry The structure of comparisons, images, metaphors, all verbal means is taken from peasant life, dear and understandable. I reach for the warmth, I inhale the softness of the bread And with a crunch I mentally bite the cucumbers, The shuddering sky beyond the smooth surface Brings the cloud out of the stall by the bridle. Here even a mill - a log bird With a single wing - stands with its eyes closed.

The use of color in Yesenin's lyrics In Yesenin's poems, shades of red are varied: pink, scarlet, crimson, crimson; shades of yellow often acquire a "metallic" sound: gold, copper; Lots of greens, blues and blues. There are white, and black, and gray colors, but in general, Yesenin’s poems are painted in pure, clear, sometimes delicate, sometimes bright colors and shades “The red fire bloodied the tagans / In the brushwood, the white eyelids of the moon ... The puddle shines like tin ... / A sad song , you are Russian pain. ”(“ Black, then reeking howl! ”)“ The golden stars dozed off / The mirror of the backwater trembled / The light glimmers on the backwaters of the river / And blushes the grid of the sky ”(“ Good morning! )

The poet's favorite colors are blue and blue. These color tones enhance the feeling of the immensity of the expanses of Russia ... Yesenin's nature is not a frozen landscape background: it lives, acts, reacts passionately to the fate of people, the events of history. The golden grove dissuaded them with a cheerful tongue, And the cranes, flying sadly, Do not regret anyone else.

Nature in his poems, as well as in folk art, feels like a human being, and a person feels like a tree, grass, river, meadow. I left my dear home, I left Blue Russia. The three-star birch forest above the pond Warms the old mother's sadness. I won't be back soon! For a long time to sing and ring the blizzard. Guards blue Russia Old maple on one leg.

The use of sound recording in landscape lyrics The sound image is often found in Yesenin's poems: "The forest rings with ringing gilding"; “Winter sings, calls out, / The shaggy forest cradles / With the bells of a pine forest”; "I would like to get lost / In the greens of your callous." In Yesenin's poetry there are also quiet sounds: “rustle of the reed”, “stretching sigh”, “barley straw gently groans”, and whistle, and buzz, and scream, and song, and many other sound images

Features of philosophical lyrics State of mind lyrical hero confession deep meaning Philosophical lyrics

The lyrics of the last years of his life in 1924-1925 were marked by the amazing creative activity of S. Yesenin, which confirmed his readiness to live and create, although life sometimes put him in an almost hopeless situation. The poet keenly feels and experiences a difficult time for the people and the Motherland, therefore the poems written during this period are distinguished by a deep philosophical meaning.

Philosophical reflections on the fate of the Motherland The period of the poet's revival begins. S. Yesenin saw with horror that the Motherland, to which he devoted his work, no longer needs it, that he remained aloof from the life of the people, he fenced himself off from him, became a “stranger” to him.

Confession of the lyrics of recent years Almost every poem written by the poet in last years, explicitly or implicitly indicates that the denouement of his fate is close. Including the small masterpiece “The golden grove dissuaded ...” (1924), where the motifs of wandering, the short duration of a person’s stay on earth, characteristic of Yesenin’s entire work, sound piercingly ...

The poems of S.A. Yesenin, imbued with selfless love for the Motherland and nature, are a role model for the modern generation.

Project summary

Among the names especially dear to our people, the name of Sergei Yesenin, the great Russian poet, rightfully takes its place. His "song word" is addressed to Russian nature, the poet's soul is open to people, his poems are a frank confidential conversation with a friend. “It seems to me,” said the poet, “that I write my poems only for my good friends.”

Our project is about how today's "good friends" of the poet seek and find their answer to the question "Where do talents come from?" Someone agrees with: “From the generosity of the people. Russian people live on earth - and now they elect one. He will speak for everyone - he is memoryful of people's memory, wise with people's wisdom. And someone adds to this absolutely accurate and well-aimed characterization: we love people's love, because "only Sergey Yesenin could play on the simple and sensitive strings of the heart." Our painstaking creative work is the answer to the question "Where do talents come from?". As a whole class, we decided: “Our project is about how in the young heart of Sergei Yesenin arose and grew stronger, gained strength “a feeling that is rarely manifested, bashful in Russian, but lies in the depths of everyone’s soul” - love for the Motherland. These words were once written by a great one. It's hard not to agree with the genius.

The birth of love for the motherland is a great mystery, requiring great silence... Therefore, let us prefer the path of unhurried reflection and questions. After all, this is the work of the soul ... This is the touch of the mystery. To the secret of talent. Talent - to love the Motherland ... ".

Presentations:

“For you, O Motherland, I composed that song.” (Our work is indisputable proof that “you have to search with your heart.” Our heart told us which Yesenin’s poems, with their genuine sincerity and warmth, speak of the poet’s love for his homeland. This presentation is the answer to the question “Where do talents come from?” It remains to add: they are nourished by their native land, in which they are in love from the cradle).

ü “What do the colors say in Yesenin's poetry?”. (The image of the motherland occupies a central place in Yesenin's lyrics. This image has many faces, and the means of depiction are different. Even the color adjectives blue and blue become symbols of the motherland).

ü “Our smaller brothers…” (“Only one heart is vigilant” - under this motto I conducted my research and made the following conclusions:
- Imposing, smart, almost humanly understanding Jim, almost akin to a man, he is almost his second "I". No one is left indifferent to the touching appeal of the poet to noble animals, representing a detachment of domestic and homeless four-legged animals, for whom Yesenin always had a special sympathy. After all, they are not so much about the smaller brothers of a person, but about himself, about his boundless love for the Motherland).

ü “Persian motives” (In “Persian motives” the poet willingly talks about Russia. Throughout the whole cycle, the atmosphere of cordial friendship of a Russian person with the people of the East prevails. Even when the poet admires the East, pictures of his native land come to his memory.)

ü "Russia shines in the heart." (“Mother Russia! Forgive me, forgive me!” - these words belong to the poet, for whom it was important to be himself and remain a man in the most cruel years for Russia. Decades will pass, and the fragrant garden of Yesenin's poetry will bloom and bear fruit, he will help us to preserve our native land as beautiful as the poet Sergei Yesenin once saw it).

ü "Poems are fresh ...". (But the main thing, the main thing for Yesenin was something else: the fact that the first poet of Russia saw in him, a village boy, talent. And great talent, new, original. “A peasant of the Ryazan province, 19 years old. Poems are fresh, clean, vociferous” , - Blok notes on Yesenin's note ...).

Sergei Alexandrovich Yesenin is a subtle lyric poet and dreamer, deeply in love with Russia. He was born on September 21, 1895 in the village of Konstantinovo, Ryazan province. Peasant family the poet was very poor, and when Seryozha was 2 years old, his father went to work. The mother could not stand the absence of her husband, and soon the family fell apart. Little Seryozha went to be raised by his maternal grandfather.

Yesenin wrote his first poem at the age of 9. His short life lasted only 30 years, but it was so eventful that it had big influence on the Russian history and the soul of every person. Hundreds of small poems and voluminous poems of the great poet echo throughout the vast country and beyond.

Young Yesenin

In the village where Seryozha was exiled, his grandfather had three unmarried sons. As Yesenin later wrote, the uncles were mischievous, and vehemently took up the male upbringing of their nephew: at 3.5 years old, they put the boy on a horse without a saddle and sent him galloping. They also taught him to swim: the delegation got into the boat, went to the middle of the lake and threw little Seryozha overboard. At the age of 8, the poet helped on the hunt - however, as a hunting dog. He swam on the water in search of shot ducks.

There were also pleasant moments in village life- the grandmother introduced her grandson to folk songs, poems, legends and tales. This became the basis for the development poetic beginning little Yesenin. He went to study in 1904 in a rural school, which after 5 years he successfully graduated with an excellent student. He entered the Spas-Klepikovskaya teacher's school, from where he graduated in 1912 as a "teacher of the literacy school." In the same year he moved to Moscow.

The birth of the creative path

In an unfamiliar city, the poet had to ask for help from his father, and he got him a job in a butcher's shop, where he himself served as a clerk. The many-sided capital captured the mind of the poet - he was determined to make himself known, and soon he got bored with work in the shop. In 1913, the rebel went to serve in the printing house of I.D. Sytin. At the same time, the poet joins the "Surikov Literary and Musical Circle", where he finds like-minded people. The first publication took place in 1914, when Yesenin's poem "Birch" appeared in the journal "Mirok". His work also appeared in the magazines "Niva", " Milky Way"and" Protalinka.

Passion for knowledge directs the poet to People's University A.L. Shanyavsky. He enters the historical and philosophical department, but this is not enough, and Yesenin attends lectures on the history of Russian literature. They are led by Professor P.N. Sakkulin, to whom the young poet would later bring his works. The teacher will especially appreciate the poem “The scarlet light of dawn wove out on the lake ...”

Service in a printing house introduces Yesenin to his first love, Anna Izryadnova, and he enters into a civil marriage. From this union in 1914, a son, Yuri, was born. At the same time, work began on the poems "Tosca" and "Prophet", the texts of which were lost. However, despite the emerging creative success and family idyll, the poet is getting cramped in Moscow. It seems that his poetry will not be appreciated in the capital as we would like. Therefore, in 1915, Sergei gave up everything and moved to Petrograd.

Success in Petrograd

First of all, in a new place, he is looking for a meeting with A.A. Blok - a real poet, whose glory Yesenin could only dream of at that time. The meeting took place on March 15, 1915. They made an indelible impression on each other. Later, in his autobiography, Yesenin will write that at that moment sweat was pouring from him, because for the first time in his life he saw a living poet. Blok wrote about Yesenin's works as follows: "Poems are fresh, clean, vociferous." Their communication continued: Blok showed the young talent the literary life of Petrograd, introduced him to publishers and famous poets - Gorodetsky, Gippius, Gumilyov, Remizov, Klyuev.

The poet is very close to the latter - their performances with poems and ditties, stylized as the folk peasantry, are a great success. Yesenin's poems are published by many magazines in St. Petersburg "Chronicle", "Voice of Life", "Monthly Journal". The poet attends all literary meetings. A special event in the life of Sergei is the publication of the collection "Radonitsa" in 1916. A year later, the poet marries Z. Reich.

The poet meets the revolution of 1917 zealously, despite the contradictory attitude towards it. “With the oars of severed hands you are rowing into the country of the future,” Yesenin responds in the poem “Mare Ships” in 1917. The poet dedicates this and next year to work on the works "Inonia", "Transfiguration", "Father", "Coming".

Return to Moscow

At the beginning of 1918, the poet returned to the golden-domed. In search of imagery, he converges with A.B. Mariengof, R. Ivnev, A.B. Kusikov. In 1919, like-minded people create the literary movement of the Imagists (from the English image - image). The movement was aimed at discovering fresh metaphors and frilly imagery in the works of poets. However, Yesenin could not fully support his brethren - he believed that the meaning of poetry was much more important than vivid veiled images. For him, the harmony of works and the spirituality of folk art were paramount. Yesenin considered his most striking manifestation of Imagism to be the poem "Pugachev", written in 1920 - 1921.

New love visited Yesenin in the autumn of 1921. He converges with Isadora Duncan - a dancer from America. The couple practically did not communicate - Sergey did not know foreign languages, and Isadora did not speak Russian. However, in May 1922 they got married and left to conquer Europe and America. Abroad, the poet worked on the Moscow Tavern cycle, the poems The Country of Scoundrels and The Black Man. In France, in 1922, the collection Confessions of a Hooligan was published, and in Germany in 1923, the book Poems of a Brawler. In August 1923, the scandalous marriage nevertheless broke up, and Yesenin returned to Moscow.

creative disclosure

In the period from 1923 to 1925, the poet's creative upsurge took place: he wrote the masterpiece cycle "Persian Motifs", the poem "Anna Snegina", the philosophical work "Flowers". The main witness of the creative flourishing was Yesenin's last wife Sofya Tolstaya. When she was published, "The Song of the Great Campaign", the book "Birch chintz", the collection "On Russia and the Revolution".

Yesenin's later works are distinguished by philosophical thoughts - he recalls all his life path, talks about his fate and the fate of Russia, looking for the meaning of life and his place in the new empire. There was often talk of death. The death of the poet is still shrouded in mystery - he died on the night of December 28, 1925 at the Angleterre Hotel.
