Vedas:Dear Guys! Today we have gathered in our cozy living room to enjoy the variety of colors, sounds, shades that the Sorceress of Autumn is so rich in. After all, autumn is an extraordinary time, it is no longer summer, but not yet winter.

And now I would love to listen to the wonderful poems that you have prepared for today's meeting.

Music sounds. Against the background of music, children read poems about autumn

……………………….

Vedas:What is it, autumn mood? With a slight sadness for the passing summer, for bright colors and aromas, and perhaps for unfulfilled dreams.

Everyone has their own autumn mood. It lives in nature, in art and in people. In everyone who is able to understand and feel the beauty of autumn.

The poem "A sad time .."

Vedas:Autumn… Golden time of the year, striking with the richness of flowers, fruits, a fantastic combination of colors: from bright, eye-catching to blurry-transparent halftones ... Today, our living room is decorated with beautiful masterpieces, and we can get acquainted with the brilliant creations of artists and composers. And teachers of music and fine arts will help us with this.

Music teacher:

Music will tell us about everything in the world

About snow-white clouds, about the sun, and about summer.

About how a stormy river beats into a rocky shore,

As the mountains look down, the road winds like a ribbon.

The crane wedge flies away, and the snowflake melts on the hand.

How yellow leaf circling, and the light in the window burns all night.

As the lights go out in the morning, the ships go to sea.

As friends sing around a campfire, and flowers bloom in the meadows.

How the pages of books rustle, how precious every moment in life is.

Fine art teacher:

No, it's not the landscape that draws me

Not the colors I seek to notice,

And what shines in colors:

Love and joy of being.

She's scattered all over the place...

She is everywhere beauty is...

Music teacher:

Music and painting, architecture and literature, poetry and theater are forms of art and each of them excites the hearts of people, awakens the best feelings in them. They all do it with their own language or as we say with our own means. Today we will talk about painting and music, about whether it is possible to “hear” a picture and “see” music.

Music is one of ancient species art. We do not always notice the beauty of the world around us, we see and hear the beauty of our native nature. And often artists help us in this, teach us to peer and listen to the world around us.

Fine art teacher:

All sounds and colors of correlation,

As well as transfer methods

Any shades of color in notes, sounds.

Love and joy of being.

She's scattered all over the place...

She is everywhere beauty is...

Presentation of paintings

Let's turn to the Golden Autumn period and talk about how Russian artists saw autumn.

  • Before you is a reproduction of the painting by I.I. Levitan "Golden Autumn"

The picture was painted in the autumn of 1895 - at a time when Levitan lived in the Gorka estate, located one and a half kilometers from the village of Ostrovno. The painting depicts the Syezha River, which flows near Ostrovno. This place was only half a kilometer from the Gorka estate. Levitan loved to paint autumn landscapes - he had over a hundred paintings associated with this time of year. Among them, the painting "Golden Autumn" is one of the most famous works artist. It depicts a small river surrounded by trees covered with yellow and red autumn foliage. Village houses, fields are visible in the distance, and further, on the horizon - autumn forest painted in shades of yellow. The bright, major, optimistic colors of this picture are not characteristic of Levitan's work - he usually used softer and more gentle tones. The painting is in the State Tretyakov Gallery.

  • What autumn did the artist see?
  • What did you like about her?
  • What thoughts and feelings does the painting give rise to?

Consider a reproduction of the painting by Vasily Dmitrievich Polenov "Golden Autumn";

“How I would like to show you our Oka,” Polenov wrote to Konstantin Korovin in 1914. “After all, you and I were the first to discover its beauty and chose a place to live.” Many years of life on the banks of the Oka did not disappoint the artist in her beauties. Polenov continued to tenderly love this nature and, above all, for the harmony poured into it. He captures the Oka at various times of the year, in its various states, giving a real chronicle of her life, full of poetry and deep truth: “Early snow”, “In summer on the Oka”, “Golden autumn”, “Autumn on the Oka near Tarusa”.

Polenov's "Golden Autumn" is a symbol of Russian nature. Polenov managed to convey the beauty of autumn like no other in Russian art.

A wide picture of nature opens up to the eyes of the viewer. The majestic river calmly rolls its clear blue waters. Its high bank turns into a slightly hilly plain, stretching to the very horizon. The hills, outlined by smooth, flowing lines, gradually fade away and sink into the blue distances. Only a small part of this plain falls into the artist's field of vision - the hills, trees and the river turn out to be, as it were, accidentally cut off by the frame of the picture. Thanks to this, the viewer can mentally continue the image, imagine the whole view as a whole and feel the boundlessness of the Oka meadows depicted by the artist.

What words can you choose for the picture, speaking about the landscape.

One of the many artists depicting the autumn landscape can be called

Ilya Semyonovich Ostroukhov. At the first glance at the picture, it is clear that I.S. Ostroukhov loved autumn. With such tenderness, he painted the leaves, all different: both in color and in shape. And this love is passed on to us. Here's what the author himself said:

“... It makes you want to walk along the autumn carpet strewn with gold, pick up colorful foliage, breathe in the coolness of the forest, which has a slight smell of dampness and mycelium, and remember the forest so solemn and bright. After all, very soon the trees will throw off their outfits and fall asleep, enveloped in a winter sleep ... "

Consider the work "Autumn Landscape"

What mood does the painting evoke?

One of the autumn landscapes is the work "Golden Autumn". Consider.

Listen to one of the schoolgirls describe her impressions of the painting.

It makes you want to walk along the autumn carpet strewn with gold, pick up colorful foliage, breathe in the coolness of the forest, which has a slight smell of dampness and mycelium, and remember the forest so solemn and bright. After all, very soon the trees will throw off their outfits and fall asleep, embraced by a winter sleep.

  • You have examined reproductions of paintings, where the artists depicted autumn in their own way, with their own mood. Many artists, poets, composers often sing of the wonderful pictures of nature. If, reading books, peering at paintings, listening to music, we pay attention to everything connected with nature, we may even be surprised at how often and deeply nature penetrates art, how closely they are connected with each other. . That is why any person has a love for art and a love for nature - very close and kindred feelings.

Vedas:Sad October stretches its business card, where the lines of a brilliant Russian poet are written in colorless ink of fogs:

October has already come - the grove is already shaking off

The last leaves from their bare branches.

The autumn cold has died - the road freezes through,

... And the pond has already frozen ...

Vedas: we all call autumn differently: someone calls it cold, rainy. And someone - generous and golden, and no matter how it was on the street - cold or warm - the native land is always beautiful, attractive, charming! And even folk wisdom says: "Autumn is sad, but life is fun!"

Music teacher:

Do you believe that the unique beauty of the autumn landscape can be conveyed through music ?

Teacher's speech:
- Let's imagine that you are composers and you also want to portray autumn. What means of musical expression would you use?
Students are divided into pairs, and they are given a few minutes to draw up a hypothesis according to the scheme:
tempo, dynamics, registers, musical instruments.

What, in your opinion, would be the nature of the work, the mood and why?
Their assumptions are written in notebooks, optionally voiced at the blackboard.

Many composers depicted the mood of autumn in their works. The history of music knows four famous interpretations of the theme of the seasons. These works are called "The Seasons". These are a cycle of concerts by Vivaldi, an oratorio by Haydn (1801), a cycle of piano pieces by P. I. Tchaikovsky (1876), a ballet by A. K. Glazunov (1899).
Today we will listen to fragments of works by P.I. Tchaikovsky and A. Vivaldi. While listening, note for yourself which of your assumptions coincided with the thoughts of the composer, and which did not.

Students listen to "Autumn Song" P.I. Tchaikovsky

When listening to music, pay attention to the rhythm, dynamics, timbre (sound color). Analysis of the work according to the scheme. Question: What did the music add to the description of autumn? Whose assumptions coincided with Tchaikovsky's music?

- “Autumn Song” occupies a special place in the cycle. This is a dull landscape, the autumn dying of nature and sadness for the passing summer as a symbol of life. The melody is dominated by sad intonations - sighs. In the middle part, there is a certain rise, a quivering enthusiasm, as if a flash of hope for life. But the third section, repeating the first, again returns to the initial sad “sighs”.

Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741)

The Four Seasons by Antonio Vivaldi is one of the most popular works of all time. For many, the very name "Vivaldi" is synonymous with "The Seasons" and vice versa (although he wrote a lot of other works). The composer prefaced each of the concerts with a sonnet - a kind of literary program. It is assumed that the author of the poems is Vivaldi himself. This is how the sonnet begins "Autumn" (L "Autunno):

Noisy peasant harvest festival.
Fun, laughter, fervent songs ringing!..

Students listen to the concert "Autumn" by A. Vivaldi, part 1


Analysis of the work according to the scheme. Question: Whose assumptions coincided with Vivaldi's music?

First part. "Dance and song of the peasants" - explains the author's remark at the beginning of the part. Cheerful mood is conveyed by rhythm. The brightness of the images is given by the use of the echo effect, so beloved not only by Vivaldi, but by all baroque composers. This is played by the whole orchestra and the soloist along with it. Such is the peculiarity of the baroque instrumental concert..

The conclusions are summarized. What do these pieces of music have in common? What is the difference?

Vedas:Rain again ... Hits the keys cleanly.

I fell hopelessly in love with this music.

Undoubtedly, he is the best of all pianists,

That once we heard with you happened.

On the ledge, as if on a black piano,

He plays Vivaldi's rainy "Autumn"

Unable to hold back his tears, and, hardly ashamed of them,

And dropping them gently among the maples and pines.

Well, we enjoy the music of sadness,

We get lost in the high and low notes.

Something breaks out: shrink, let go

From the pianist's playing piercingly clean...

Vedas:How pleasant it is to sit in a soft cozy chair on a rainy autumn evening with a cup of delicious tea. And if guests drop by for a light, it is doubly pleasant, you can laugh and talk with them. Well, for example, about music. What do you think about music?

Presentation of the projects "What I think about music"

Vedas:I want to see music

I want to hear music

What is this music?

You see, the maple leaf is spinning,

Quietly spinning to the music.

You see, a cloud is spinning in the sky -

There will be rain music.

Both the wind and the sun

And the clouds, and the rain,

And the little seed

Also the music...

Fine art teacher:

And now let each of you make a musical palette. Let's translate the experience of composers into color. (Students are given blanks in the form of a palette.) We make an autumn palette in color.

Music will help you with this. When listening to music, pay attention to the rhythm, dynamics, timbre (sound color).
1) prepared paints, brushes, water.

Here we are with you and captured the moment of the outgoing autumn. Let's show our work. Autumn turned out to be different, but for the most part you painted a bright, solemn autumn. But if there were no sadness and sadness, then we probably would not appreciate the joyful and pleasant moments of life so much.

Vedas:They say that autumn is sadness, continuous rains, cloudy weather ... Today we have understood completely the opposite. Autumn is beautiful and attractive in its own way. It brings generosity to the soul, warmth from human communication to the heart, brings unique beauty into our lives! We have traveled to the world autumn beauty and harmony. Maybe one of you, when you grow up, will become a famous poet, artist, musician, composer or fashion designer, and our meetings in the creative living room will help him. We thank this AUTUMN for bringing us all together in her living room. Ahead of winter, spring, summer ... and then autumn again. How many more will be in our life! I hope that the golden lights of the Autumn Living Room will be lit for all of us more than once in our school. See you soon!

Music sounds, the guys leave the hall.

Has given up its positions, autumn has come with its gray weather. Unfortunately, for many people, it is in autumn that the mood drops to zero. There is unreasonable sadness, apathy, lethargy. On the face are signs of autumn depression, from which, according to WHO statistics, every fifth inhabitant of the planet suffers. As one of my readers wrote in a comment: “It's sad - summer has flown by, but it seemed that it had just begun. How fast time flies." Therefore, it's time to talk about how to tune in to the positive so that the autumn mood does not affect your health.

The fact is that at this time of the year the body undergoes a restructuring. The air temperature drops, daylight hours decrease, and if the rains also “charge”, then the frequent change of weather characteristic of autumn will cause an exacerbation of chronic diseases. Particularly affected are older people who were busy in the summer on their haciendas and did not listen to their health, and now, when the body reacts more sharply to high humidity and cold, they also free time appeared to listen to their aggravated sores.

In the human body, the internal clock is rebuilt from summer time to winter time. Even the need for food is changing. If in the summer, as a rule, everyone prefers light food, now they want more fatty dishes. We have, like bears before hibernation, in the body there is a need in connection with the impending cold weather in the production of additional calories. During the winter, these reserves reach a critical point for some, so with the advent of spring, an acute question arises: how to lose weight.

But, let's not talk about sad things, because this time of the year has a lot of pluses, and the minuses can be avoided. What should be done so that the autumn mood is good and does not affect the state of health? One of the causes of seasonal ailments is the lack of light. But this minus can also be turned into a plus - go to bed earlier, but get up earlier. A full eight-hour sleep will positively affect your well-being. Try not to use electric lights during the daytime. Don't forget to go outside during the day. If these are working days, then use lunch time effectively outside the building. Spend your weekends outdoors.

One of the sources of good health and mood, and not only in the autumn period, is physical activity. Everyone knows the old truth: . Walk more often. If possible, replace the trip in transport with a walk. Do exercises in the morning. Of course, if you belong to the category of lazy people, like me, then go to the pool instead of exercising. In general, try to do that kind physical activity that gives you pleasure - fitness, dancing, gymnastics, etc.

Bathhouse lovers can combine business with pleasure if you take various scrubs, masks with you and take care of beauty. After the steam room, do not forget about the contrast shower, and then with special pleasure you can drink some herbal infusion, which is also good for your health.

By the way, experts recommend that, in the fall, women should change their image. This applies primarily to hairstyles and hair color. There is such an old joke: in order to cheer up, a woman needs to change either her hairstyle, or her job, or her husband. In my opinion, the most "painless" option in the first case, at the same time surprise your loved one with your beauty. The fact that the skin after a hot summer requires special care, you have already been able to read in the previous article. Do not forget about the benefits of nourishing masks and cream, with which we will smooth wrinkles that have appeared from the summer sun.
The body needs vitamins all year round. Scientists have found that fruits and vegetables today contain useful elements less than 50 years ago. The amount of vitamin C, iron and calcium, that is, those trace elements that are vital for the health of any woman, has especially significantly decreased. Therefore, supplement your diet with vitamin complexes. The most important in the autumn period are vitamins A and C.

What else can cheer you up? If it's raining outside, surround yourself with bright interior items. Orange color is especially positive. Wardrobe items or accessories - bags, gloves, scarves can also be bright. If you are lucky and the autumn will be golden, then admire the colorful decoration of the trees, or maybe the Indian summer will suddenly decide to please?

I hope everyone understands that autumn mood And health depend on ourselves. Watch the slide show with wonderful pictures autumn, listen to the song "Autumn Blues", and let your body rebuild only for health and positive! And also do not forget that the site "Secret to the whole world" is there, which will help get rid of blues and depression.

Autumn is early.
Leaves are falling.
Step carefully into the grass.
Each leaf is a fox face...
This is the land where I live.

Foxes quarrel, foxes yearn,
foxes celebrate, cry, sing,
and when they smoke their pipes,
That means it will rain soon.

Burning runs through the trunks,
and the trunks disappear into the moat.
Each trunk is the body of a deer...
This is the land where I live.

Red oak with blue horns
waiting for an opponent out of silence...
Be careful:
ax under your feet!
And the roads back are burned!

But in the forest, at the pine entrance,
someone actually believes in him...
Nothing to write:
nature!
This is the land where I live
(B. Okudzhava)

Is in the autumn of the original
short but marvelous time -
The whole day stands as if crystal,
And radiant evenings ...
...
The air is empty, the birds are no longer heard,
But far from the first winter storms -
And pure and warm azure pours
To the resting field...

F. I. Tyutchev

Autumn. Thickets of the forest.
Moss of dry swamps.
The lake is white.
Pale sky.
The water lilies have bloomed
And the saffron blossomed.
paved paths,
The forest is empty and naked.
Only you are beautiful
Though dry for a long time
In the bumps by the bay
Old alder.
You look feminine
In the water half asleep -
And you will become silver
First of all, spring.

(I. Bunin)

autumn morning

The speeches of lovers are cut off,
The last starling flies away.
Falling off the maples all day long
Purple heart silhouettes.
What have you, autumn, done to us!
The earth freezes in red gold.
The flame of sorrow whistles underfoot
Stirring heaps of leaves.

N. Zabolotsky

And every autumn I bloom again;
The Russian cold is good for my health;
I again feel love for the habits of being:
Sleep flies in succession, hunger finds in succession;
Easily and joyfully plays in the heart of blood,
Desires boil - I'm happy again, young,
I am full of life again - this is my body
(Allow me to forgive unnecessary prosaism).

A.S. Pushkin

Indian summer

Indian summer has come -
Days of farewell warmth.
Warmed by the late sun
The fly came to life in the crack.

Sun! What in the world is more beautiful
After a chilly day?
Gossamer light yarn
Wrapped around a knot.

Tomorrow it will rain fast,
A cloud covering the sun.
Silver gossamer
There are two or three days left.

Have pity, autumn! Give us light!
Protect from winter darkness!
Have pity on us, Indian summer:
These cobwebs are us.

(D. Kedrin)

And again, as in lovely years
longing, purity and miracles,
stares into the desolate waters
ruddy thinning forest.

Simple as God's forgiveness
transparent expands far.
Ah, autumn, my ecstasy,
my golden sadness!

Fresh and cobwebs glisten...
Rustle, I pass along the river,
through the branches and bunches of rowan
I look at the quiet sky.

And the vault is blue wide,
and flocks of wandering birds -
that timid childish lines
in the desert of old pages...

(V. Nabokov)

Golden autumn

Autumn. Fairy tale,
All open for review.
clearings of forest roads,
Looking into the lakes

Like in an art exhibition:
Halls, halls, halls, halls
Elm, ash, aspen
Unprecedented in gilding.

Linden hoop gold -
Like a crown on a newlywed.
Birch face - under the veil
Wedding and transparent.

buried earth
Under foliage in ditches, pits.
In the yellow maples of the wing,
As if in gilded frames.

Where are the trees in September
At dawn they stand in pairs,
And sunset on their bark
Leaves an amber trail.

Where you can not step into the ravine,
So that everyone does not know:
So raging that not a step
A tree leaf underfoot.

Where it sounds at the end of the alleys
Echoes at the steep slope
And dawn cherry glue
Freezes in the form of a clot.

Autumn. ancient corner
Old books, clothes, weapons,
Where is the treasure catalog
Flips through the cold.

September 12, 2012, 18:49

I wanted to make a post with the title "In anticipation of autumn", but, like a slowpoke, I slowed down, so "Autumn mood", although the meaning does not change. I wanted to show in illustrations why I love autumn, which I couldn’t stand before. It would seem that it could be good when it’s gray, damp, slushy and windy outside the window, and you have to go to work, but you don’t have a car and you can’t call a taxi. And I don't know what to wear. And the styling falls apart after 15 seconds of being on the street. Whole foo foo. But there is no way out, and we must go. But when you have already arrived, you can make yourself a big cup of hot delicious tea, get cookies or cakes bought on the way, discuss latest gossip and shopping with your favorite collegiate girls, etc. This may not be an equal reward, but when there is no way out, as with the onset of autumn, one must look for positive aspects in everything. Sometimes you need so little for joy)))) So, my reasons for joy in the fall: 1. I can put on my favorite shoes again. And buy some new ones. I really love boots. And I love autumn because I can wear boots - all sorts, different, but so beloved!
2. For beautiful golden-red landscapes, in which every decent girl should arrange a photo session for herself (st:) s))). But the landscapes are really beautiful, they exude peace and perfection, I really like to walk along the yellow alleys and breathe in the fresh cool air, in my favorite shoes, of course)))


3. The time of trips to the forest with friends or a loved one, or in general, simply because you want to take a break from the noisy city and dirty air. If with a company, then barbecue, evening gatherings around the fire, hiking, jokes, jokes are encouraged in every possible way)) And most importantly, the mood should be good)

4. Try mulled wine in all the nearest cafes and choose the most delicious one. Grog is good too. Last fall, we did not cope with this task, so it is transferred to this one))

5. The ability to re-wear your favorite things that are not suitable for summer - cozy sweaters, soft gloves, fun knitted hats, golfs, jackets and more.
I want red leather pants


and even so))
6. Fly to warm countries which is too hot in the summer or the rainy season or the locust or some other bullshit that makes you not able to visit it.

7. Have homemade dinners for your friends. And every time you can cook dishes from the cuisine of different countries - pasta with seafood, lasagna, pizza, fajitas, risotto, cheese creamy soup, sushi and, of course, a Russian dinner - dumplings, dumplings, herring, potatoes, black chl:) shek, salted cucumbers)))) Last autumn we did it quite often, everyone really liked it until everyone got fat, and it's good that no one remembers that I was the instigator of this))) This year we can hold tea ceremonies)) Puer and all such))


8. Halloween with dress-ups, fun contests and a competition for the most stupid / funny / glamorous costume.
9. Buy new bright rubber boots and an umbrella. To be honest, I don't have either. I don’t wear umbrellas in principle, I’m uncomfortable, I forget them all the time, but somehow I didn’t come across such boots that I wanted to put on. But in my dirty city this is a must, so I'll look))



10. During a dreary lingering rain, dirty dullness outside the window and an uncomfortable howl of the wind, sit at home with an interesting book, drink fragrant freshly brewed coffee with a delicious home-made cherry pie.

11. It's time to resume sports for those who are hot / lazy / have no time to exercise in summer))) Which will help reduce body fat earned during dinner parties))



12. The beginning of the club season - the dance floors that were closed for the summer are reopening, new parties, acquaintances, communication, dancing until you drop and music, music, music! Hooray!

13. Come up with a hobby at last. A hobby is not only interesting, but also useful. Drawing, singing, dancing, cooking, embroidery, macrame weaving can all brighten up your long autumn evenings. But seriously, this might be really interesting for you. Well, you can finally learn English, not exactly a hobby, of course, but it is necessary, important and prestigious)))





14. Begin preparations for the sacred holiday in the CIS-Great New Year!!! Think about what to give someone for the New Year, what they will give you, where, in what, with whom to celebrate and do all sorts of other New Year's chores)))


Well, in general, in the fall, don’t get sick, don’t get sick, don’t mope, get enough sleep, dress up, love yourself and rejoice !!!

September-Frowning. The weather begins to frown, hence the name of the month - Frowning. Autumn is slowly approaching. There will be many more sunny days, but at times it rains. The tops of the trees are covered with light gilding, yellowed leaves fall and the glorious time of warm days comes - Indian summer.

September: first colors

Description of the nature of autumn (I - II week)
Somehow, unnoticed, the princess autumn approached furtively. It cannot be said that she was not expected. After a long season of growth, by the time autumn came, nature was out of breath. The plants are tired of climbing up, the grass has withered, turned yellow over the summer from the hot sunbeams, the trees rustle with drooping leaves, and the whole living world wearily fled to its places. Birds in flocks cluster higher and higher towards the sky, seeing off the soft rays of the departing warm days. Tired nature tends to fall asleep in autumn, but you still have to prepare well for rest. Not beyond the horizon are already cool rains, cold winds and a long tedious time of winter.

September is a transitional period from summer heat to autumn coolness. The temperature does not drop sharply, but gradually. The nights become cool, sunny moderate days are replaced by rainy ones with glimpses of the sun. Sometimes in the absence of the sun it blows cold wind, but the weather changes from warm to cold days are not sharp, so the average daily temperature in early autumn is +11 ° C.

Autumn embraced nature, slowly picking up a canvas and brushes, so that with the trepidation of an artist, she began to paint the drooping vegetation in variegated colors. Nature never looks so delightful and touching as nature in autumn. September forest painting begins, first leaving the gilding on the tops of the trees, and adding shades to the bushes, coloring the autumn nature in bright colors. It is then that October will cover all the trees with gold, great time golden autumn, and November will remove the colors behind them and erase all the painting.

Nevertheless, the earth still has something to feed, to please us. Dry branches will be able to pamper with late black berry blackberries. If you go deeper into the autumn forest and search, you can find whole bunches of lingonberries. Medicinal herbs have not faded yet. The pharmacy chamomile is spread in bloom, cornflowers and celandine have not yet wilted. And a knowledgeable herbalist can look for medicinal roots, all kinds of herbs for tea leaves and tart ripe berries for jam.

September in the folk calendar

"Ivan the summer came, but the red summer took away"

The days are all warm, sometimes it will rain, the winds are not so cold, and it seems that the summer will not go away. But the days are getting shorter and the sun is less hot. What only did not give a description of autumn among the people. Both poems and signs reflect autumn nature. On the first days of September, they looked at what winter would be like. Already the first frosts are not long in coming and appear from September 5 - "Lupp's" frosts. And if you look into the sky and see a flock of cranes flying away, then this is a sign - winter will come early.

It's time to mow oats exactly on September 8 - Natalya-Ovsyanitsa, together with Peter-Paul-Rowanberry. Rowan branches should be broken off and hung under the roof, and some left for winter birds. On September 11, Ivan Lenten comes, as he was called - the godfather of autumn, they also called him Ivan the Flight Pilot - he takes the warmth with him. From that day on, Ivan chases flocks of birds across the sea to look for warmth. By the way, the cranes fly away in a couple of days. So to say, September 13 is the official day of departure of the cranes. And the first cool days will not last long, because there is a tender time ahead - Indian summer.

Autumn in Russian poetry

The great Russian poets sincerely admired autumn, invented various images for it, and tried to distinguish it from the background of other seasons. Nature in autumn, first of all, conveys the general mood of a person and environment: most often it is sadness, some memories, understanding of the essence. But one cannot unequivocally say that autumn in Russian poetry is only a sad time, by no means.

Autumn is saturated with tenderness, sophistication and, in a sense, wisdom. Russian poets praised this time of the year, saw in it a certain zest. A striking example is Tyutchev's poem "There is in the original autumn ...". Here the emphasis is placed precisely on how special this time of year is, that it is a “wonderful time”, that “radiant evenings” are here.

Is in the autumn of the original
Short but wonderful time -
The whole day stands as if crystal,
And radiant evenings ...

Where a peppy sickle walked and an ear fell,
Now everything is empty - space is everywhere -
Only cobwebs of thin hair
Shines on an idle furrow.

The air is empty, the birds are no longer heard,
But far from the first winter storms -
And pure and warm azure pours
To the resting field...

The greatest poet Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin also paid great attention to autumn. It may seem to someone that the description of autumn in Pushkin's poems is rather pessimistic, and as proof they cite the poem “The sky was already breathing in autumn ...”, where the poet wrote that it was “a boring time”. But let's take a look at other poems by Alexander Sergeevich, in which the image of this season is completely different. For example, the poet once confessed to his reader: “... Of the annual times, I am only glad for her alone,” he even compared autumn with an unloved child in the family, to whom he is strongly attracted.

Already the sky was breathing in autumn,
The sun shone less.
The day was getting shorter
Forests mysterious canopy
With a sad noise she was naked,
Fog fell on the fields
Noisy geese caravan
Stretched to the south: approaching
Pretty boring time;
November was already at the yard.

September: "Indian Summer"

Description autumn nature September (III - IV week)
In autumn, on the eve of October, nature has not yet acquired an elegantly motley shade, it is not immediately noticeable, only there are more tops in gilding and in some places red shades are more and more manifested in the foliage. The first rains have passed and it is time for a short return of summer - Indian summer. Warm autumn days will continue, most likely, until the first days of October. Summer will stay a little longer, please with its former warmth, and then it will leave.

On the 20th of September, warm, almost summer weather sets in with moderate sunshine. The leaves of trees and shrubs change color to yellow and yellow-red and begin to fall noticeably by the end of the month. Most often this occurs at night when the air temperature is low, as well as under the influence of enhanced, but still warm daytime winds.

With almost summer warmth, September pleases with sweet apples. Antonovka crumbled, the gardens were filled with a fragrant ripe aroma. The autumn apple crunches, gives out sourness and bitterness, and some are just as sweet as honey. It would be nice to collect more apples, but save them for the whole winter. For better preservation of apples, it is better not to be too lazy to wrap each one in paper, then the taste will not go away. And after the apples, the last touch of natural kindness and outgoing warmth will be sprawling flower gardens. Asters, dahlias, hydrangeas - in such colors, September changes the mood from colorful tones to bright and golden ones in October.

The second half of September in the folk calendar

"The bird flies to the edges to the warmth, autumn is coming towards winter"

And here comes the first day of the meeting of autumn - September 14th. The day on which autumn was celebrated is not accidental. On this day, according to the old calendar - September 1, along with autumn, met New Year. Semyon the pilot saw off the summer, and the peasant finished all his work. By winter, food, preparations, the hut are ready, it's time to relax and have some fun from the heart. Decorated, in bright dresses, the girls sang songs, and buried caught flies in the ground, thereby seeing off the summer, and the boys looked after them, chose a companion for themselves.

On Semyon-Letoprovodtsa, the weather sets warm days, you see that summer will change its mind and return. The days are clear, the sun is velvety, gently warming, but as soon as you go behind the cloud, a cool breeze blows from nowhere. Here are the Mikhailovsky matinees - on September 19 they bring cool air in the morning. The grass is covered with dew, wet and cold. The sun does not rise high, and it does not indulge in warmth, like in summer, and on September 21 they begin to meet autumn in a second round. Autumn starts. You still have to work, you should remove the bow, but quickly, otherwise you won’t have time by the 24th day of autumn - Fyodor is finishing the summer.

On Fedora, the Indian summer may also end, the inclement weather will set in, but you can also extend the pleasure of bright days a little more, but not as warm as recently. And then the earth begins to freeze - September 26 - Corniglia. And now the third meeting of autumn falls on Vozdvizhenye. Cold displaces heat. Somewhere far away, a bear lies down in a den, and it’s quiet in the forest, the birds fly away, and the remaining living creatures hibernate, except for those animals that spend the winter in the forest, they just change their clothes to warmer ones. Guseprolet September 28, the women pull the turnip, remove the tops, cut the root, the men shear the sheep, have time to make warm felt boots for the winter, there is still much to be done to meet the cold days. October comes colorful and leaves warm in September.

Autumn in Russian painting

When is nature at its most beautiful? Many people, especially artists, believe: autumn. No wonder autumn is also called an artist - it repaints grass and leaves very quickly and brightly, choosing the most impressive colors and tones from one palette. In one of the songs, the poet Bulat Okudzhava wrote: "Painters, dip your brushes ... so that your brushes are like leaves, like leaves by November." These lines evoke views of the forests and plains of that autumn sometimes which we call gold. And also the most expressive and memorable paintings by Russian landscape painters on the theme of autumn come to mind.

Just as the description of nature in autumn in poetry is diverse, filled with many different moods, so the autumn landscapes of Levitan, Polenov, Vasiliev, Savrasov, Krymov, Kustodiev contain both joy and sadness, and romantic thoughtfulness, and despondency. This, of course, depends on what particular period of autumn the artist took as a theme for his painting. If we talk about golden autumn, then in these works one can always feel the painter's delight before the possibilities of autumn to paint nature in different colors.

Even more cheerfulness comes through in the cheerful and bright picture of I. I. Shishkin "Early Autumn". Although the alleys among the yellow trees are deserted, bright colors evoke only a romantic mood. Autumn is diverse and changeable: everyone perceives it in their own way - we see this in Russian painting dedicated to autumn.
