Exercise 4: Read the points about the role of art in one’s life (some students will put questions to the text; some others will retell the text).

The role of art in our life.

Art is long, life is short.

What is art? In my opinion, It is soul of mankind, creative understanding of life and world. The role of art is very important. Art is everyday component of our life. Our speech is art, because we build up sentences, choose definite words, use suitable intonation to express our emotions. The sentence: 'I love you' without art would be colourless. Art reflects our inner world. People brought up on films about violence and sex become cruel and angry. Wonderful music, classical literature encourage us and give us positive feelings, kindness and tenderness. Thanks to art we develop and become perfect. It broaden our horizons.

People try to understand works of geniuses, who have their own vision of world. Everybody should want to see the beauty and try to understand it.From the works of art we can learn about our history. Surikov, Repin, Leonardo da Vinci, Titian are well-known for painting mythological and historical subjects.Art decorates our life.

Without art our life will be dull, colourless and depressing.
