A scarlet silk scarf, a bright floral sundress.

The hand rests on the wooden sides.

And there are secrets inside, maybe three, maybe six.

Our Russian got a little flushed...(matryoshka doll)

Educator: Of course, this is a familiar nesting doll. Here it is (demonstration of a nesting doll).

A funny toy - a painted matryoshka - was born many years ago. It was invented by the artist Sergei Vasilyevich Malyutin. He dressed each beauty in a painted sundress, a bright scarf and a colorful apron. None of the sisters had a similar outfit. The doll was unusual, with a wonderful surprise (show by opening the nesting dolls).

Five wooden dolls, round-faced and ruddy,
They live on our table in multi-colored sundresses,
The first doll is fat, but inside it is empty.
It splits into two halves.
Open this doll - there will be a third in the second.
Unscrew the half, tight, ground in -
And you will be able to find the fourth doll.
Take it out and see who is hiding inside it.
The fifth pot-bellied doll is hiding in it.
Here are the doll sisters standing in a row.
Let's count you again: one, two, three, four, five.

One large nesting doll can contain up to ten to twelve dolls. What to call the beauty? And he called her Matryosha, an old Russian name. This is how the matryoshka doll was born - a detachable wooden doll.

Educator: What do you think the nesting doll is made of?

They make nesting dolls from linden wood. On special machines men carve matryoshka figurines. First, the craftsman grinds out the smallest one-piece matryoshka doll, then a larger one, and even larger one. Then these figures fell into the hands of women. They used brushes to paint the nesting dolls with bright colors and coated them with varnish so that the design would last a long time. And then they sold colorful nesting dolls at fairs and bazaars. People wrote very kind and warm poems about nesting dolls:

We really love nesting dolls and colorful clothes.

We weave and spin ourselves, we ourselves will come to visit you.

Blow the pipes, beat the spoons! The nesting dolls came to visit us.

The legs are wooden, the nesting dolls are rosy.

All the people are looking out the windows: the nesting dolls have started dancing...

V. Berestov

GCD move:

I. Org. moment.

Look how many guests have come to us, let's say hello to them.

II. Main part.

1. Conversation “The history of creation and types of nesting dolls.”

Guys, today we found ourselves in an ancient Russian workshop for painting toys, and since it is ancient Russian, accordingly we need to dress in the folk costume that the Russians wore. Today you will be masters of toy painting

and we will paint the toy, which is encrypted in the answer to the riddle.

Scarlet silk handkerchief,

Bright sundress with flowers,

Hand rests

On wooden sides.

And there are secrets inside:

Maybe five, maybe six.

I got a little flushed.

This is Russian... (children guess “matryoshka”)

Well done! Of course, this is a matryoshka doll.

A hundred years ago, one master saw a Japanese wooden tumbler toy, (on the slide) which depicted an old monk. And he decided to make such a toy for his children. He made it out of wood, and an artist he knew painted it with a floral pattern. Yes, so beautiful that not only children liked this toy. And so a pink-cheeked girl appeared, dressed in a sundress or skirt with a shirt, an apron, and a scarf. In her hands she held a rooster or a goose, and sometimes a bundle. This is how the image of a peasant girl was born - the sweet village Matryona, a name very common at that time. So they called the doll a matryoshka.

Many years later, craftsmen began turning dolls on lathes. The nesting dolls changed from year to year. Family nesting dolls appeared (mom, dad, children), there are fairy tale heroes (turnip, teremok, etc.).

And you will recognize these matryoshka characters (Little Red Riding Hood). Who wrote this fairy tale? (Charles Perrault). Look, here are nesting dolls with a picture of a factory.

Craftswomen paint nesting dolls with paints and “dress” the dolls in colorful sundresses and colored scarves. Different localities had their own costume features, hence the different names of nesting dolls, shapes and painting techniques. The most common are Semenovskaya, Polkhov-Maidanskaya, and matryoshka dolls. Now different nesting dolls will tell about themselves.

At Semyonov's nesting dolls

Multi-colored clothes.

We played, frolicked -

And they invested in each other.

These are the nesting dolls from Semenov.

When painting Semyonovsky nesting dolls, craftsmen use three colors - red, yellow and blue. The basis of the composition in painting a Semenovskaya nesting doll is an apron, on which a lush bouquet of flowers is depicted. The Semenovskaya nesting doll is distinguished by its spaciousness - up to 15-18 dolls can be placed in it. It was in Semenov that the largest 72-seat nesting doll was carved, the height of which was 1 meter and the diameter was 0.5 meters.

What do all the nesting dolls have in common? (1. made of wood, 2. open the same way, 3. so bright painted with flowers.

That's right, for making nesting dolls they use birch or linden logs, first they are dried well, and then the doll is cut out

What is the difference? (different drawings)

2. Outdoor game “We are nesting dolls.”

Since we're talking about nesting dolls, let's be nesting dolls for a bit and dance.

3. Continue the conversation “The history of creation and types of nesting dolls.”

- And now, guys, let’s look at two more nesting dolls, Polkhov-Maidanskaya and Voronezh. When painting Polkhovo-Maidan dolls, crimson-red, green, and black colors are often used. And, Voronezh is shaped like a matryoshka doll Easter Egg, which symbolizes life. The egg-shaped shape was created by accident: one day the craftswoman saw a defective nesting doll that was too round in shape and had a bit of a knot at the top. On her head is a bright scarf with flowers. A white shirt with embroidery, often a diamond pattern, which symbolizes the sun. A black poneva (skirt) with red lines forming cells symbolizes black soil. The suit has three colors - white, black and red.

Currently, the author's nesting doll is becoming increasingly widespread, when artists simultaneously combine elements in one nesting doll. different types nesting dolls Decorative painting motifs are used: Gzhel, Khokhloma, etc.

Let's go to the workshop tables. It is in the workshops that artists decorate their souvenirs with painting.

4. Preparation for productive activities.

Our painting toy is hidden in the mold that we poured the day before. Remove the rubber bands and remove the toys from the mold.

What kind of toy is in front of you? (Matryoshka)

Only our nesting doll is not simple, not wooden, but what kind? (Our nesting doll is plaster, ... heavy, ... not painted, ... sad, ... faceless).

5. Demonstration and work with a sample.

In the circle we draw the face of a matryoshka doll. We make a parting of hair and two strands, neatly laid out on the sides. At the bottom of the chin we draw a knot of the tied ends of the scarf, because at the top of the matryoshka’s face and hair there is always a scarf tied.

We detail the doll's face. Draw beautiful eyes along a horizontal line. First, the lines of the upper eyelids with eyelashes, then the lower eyelids and between them the eyes themselves with large black circles. Then on top of the eyes we make two thin lines of eyebrows, in the middle there is a small stroke - a nose and at the bottom a neat mouth made of two sponges, similar to a flower.

Drawing clothing lines. At the top there are two lines along the neck line. They will separate the scarf from the sundress. The bottom of the sundress has a rounded line.

On the body of the nesting doll we draw sundress patterns. They can be very diverse and bizarre. It could be a flower, a basket, a bird. I'll draw a flower. First, we draw the flower itself from petals curved up, then turned down. The result is the corolla of a flower. Then at the top of the flower we draw beautifully cut leaves.

We must also draw handles on the sides of the doll’s body. We draw them in the sleeves of the shirt, bent at the elbows. The nesting doll has neat small hands with thin fingers.

Let's color the nesting doll at our discretion. Remember, nesting dolls are always very bright, colorful dolls, so don’t skimp on color to give them that unique flavor that is characteristic of this particular Russian doll.

Using cotton swabs, you can decorate a sundress or scarf with flowers. Then we dip the tip of a toothpick into white gouache and “enliven” the eyes with highlights.

Before you draw

You need to stretch your fingers.

Finger gymnastics

We are funny nesting dolls, clapping our hands

We have boots on our feet, with our index and middle fingers walking along the floor.

Progress of the lesson

The group includes a Storyteller with a chest.

Storyteller:

Hello guys.
I was at the fair
I brought you a chest.
That chest is not simple,
And the goods in it are painted.

I take it out for show. And I’m telling a story about him.

What's in this chest? I'll tell you a secret. The box is filled with folk toys. You will find out what toys are in it when you solve the riddle.

Mystery:

Scarlet silk handkerchief,
Bright sundress with flowers,
The hand rests on the wooden sides.
And there are secrets inside:
Maybe three, maybe six.
The first doll is fat,
But inside she's empty
She splits into two halves,
Another one lives in it
The doll is in the middle.
Got a little flushed
Our Russian...

Children: Matryoshka.

Storyteller: That's right, matryoshka.

Children examine, touch, and admire the nesting doll.

Storyteller: What matryoshka?

Children: Wooden, colorful, bright, detachable, cheerful, interesting, mysterious, rosy.

Storyteller: It seems that the nesting doll came to us from the world of fairy tales, legends, from hoary antiquity. The matryoshka appeared in the 19th century. One day they brought a toy from Japan - a big-headed wooden Japanese. You open it, and there is another toy of the same kind; you open a second one, and there is a third one.

Slide 1.

Storyteller: Russian craftsmen really liked this toy. The craftsmen carved a figurine from a wooden block. What kind of wood was used to make the matryoshka doll?

Children: From birch, linden.

Storyteller: Dry birch or linden is used to make nesting dolls.

Slide 2

The masters made blanks and gave them to the artists.

Slide 3.

Russian artists painted the matryoshka doll to perfection: the lips were in a bow, the blush was on the cheeks like apples, a cheerful handkerchief covered the head, and a thick braid hung from under it. And so this wooden doll wanted Russian name give. Just which one? Dunyasha? Manyasha? Matryosha! And the new toys became nesting dolls.

Slide 4.

Storyteller:

And they started making nesting dolls from wood in Russian villages. It’s not for nothing that people say:

- “Love your work - you will be a master.”

- “The master’s work is afraid.”

- “Every master is a master of marveling at himself.”

Storyteller: Do you want to play with a matryoshka doll?

Game "Matryoshka and Mice".

The poems are sung to the tune of the Russian folk song “Like Ours at the Gate.” (M. Yu. Kartushina).

Here the nesting dolls were walking, They “walk” around the room randomly.
They were looking for berries in the forest.
So, so and so,
They were looking for berries in the forest. "Collecting berries."
We sat under a bush,
We ate delicious berries.
So, so and so,
We ate delicious berries. They sit on the floor and “eat berries” from their palms
How tired the nesting dolls are,
They dozed off under a bush. Close your eyes and place your palms under your cheeks
So, so and so,
They dozed off under a bush.
And then they danced
They showed their legs.
So, so and so, Place your legs on your heels.
They showed their legs. They spin around, stomping their feet.
Only suddenly the girlfriends hear:
Right by the forest edge Apply alternately
Let's run along the path hands first to one ear, then to the other
Someone's little gray legs. (“listen”)
Hey, Matryoshka, watch out!
It turned out it was a mouse!

Storyteller: Different masters painted the nesting doll in different ways. Therefore, although the nesting dolls are similar, you can guess each one with its own character.

Slide 5.

I'm from quiet green
The town of Semenov.
I came to visit you
Bouquet of garden flowers
Pink, burgundy
I brought it as a gift.

Storyteller: In the city of Semenov there is a center for painting matryoshka dolls. Hence the name - Semenovskaya matryoshka. What flowers do you see on the nesting doll’s sundress?

Children: Scarlet roses, poppies, forget-me-nots, cornflowers, berries and leaves.

Storyteller: Berries and leaves are collected in various bouquets, which the nesting dolls hold in their hands. The uniqueness of the Semenovskaya nesting doll is its shape and color design: a yellow scarf, a red sundress and a white apron decorated with flowers.

Storyteller: Blow the pipes, beat the spoons!
A matryoshka came to visit us.
wooden spoons,
Matryoshka matryoshka is rosy.
The nesting doll came to us,
She brought a ringing tambourine.

Slide 6.

Storyteller: I am a matryoshka doll from Maidan.
My outfit is decorated with flowers.
With shining petals.
And different berries,
Ripe and red.

Storyteller:

This is the neighbor of the Semyonovskaya nesting doll. She does not have such details as a sundress, a jacket, like the Semenovskaya matryoshka doll, and curls are definitely visible from under the scarf. Guys, find the flowers on my tray that decorate the sundress of the Maidanovskaya nesting doll.

Children come up to the tray, choose flowers and name them.

Children: Lush roses, dahlias, rosehip flowers, and berries decorate this nesting doll.

Slide 7.

Storyteller:

I'm from Sergiev Posad
I am very glad to meet you.
Given to me by artists
Bright Russian sundress.
I have for a long time
There is a pattern on the apron.
My handkerchief is famous
Multi-colored border.

Storyteller: This toy still looks like the first matryoshka doll with a rooster in its hands. The matryoshka is of good quality, steep-sided, and stable in shape. We happily look at her. She is also dressed up in a sundress, a jacket, an apron, a scarf, and in her hands she holds a bundle, a basket or flowers. The scarf is tied in a knot. The scarf and apron are decorated with a simple floral pattern, which is easily obtained if you apply a brush with paint, leaving a trace - a petal or leaf. A round center of a flower or a “pea” can be obtained by using the poking technique. Laconicism and simplicity of design created a clear and joyful image of a Russian village doll.

Storyteller: Guys, I have a sundress of this nesting doll in my chest. (The storyteller takes out a sundress, and it is all white).

Storyteller: Oh, where did the flowers go?

Children:

- stolen by an evil wizard;

- disappeared...

Storyteller: What to do, how to restore the beauty of the nesting doll sundress?

Children:

- draw;

- make an application;

- cut from material;

- look in the chest.

Storyteller: (looks into the chest and finds flowers). How are we going to decorate with them?

Children:

- sew;

- stick;

- attach with Velcro.

Children attach flowers to the sundress according to the pattern and admire the work done.

Guys, because you have learned a lot about nesting dolls, I want to give them to you.

The storyteller takes out puzzles with images of nesting dolls from the chest.

Storyteller: I mixed up all the nesting dolls. Help me collect them.

Children put together puzzles and tell what kind of nesting doll they put together, why it is called that, and how it is painted.

Storyteller: The matryoshka is a unique folk toy, because along with the Russian birch tree and the Russian samovar, it has become a symbol of the country, Russia. She is a kind messenger of friendship and love, happiness and prosperity.

Storyteller: Matryoshka doll is so expressive and perfect that it lives not as a toy, but as an example of creativity, as a memorable gift, a national souvenir.

Slide 7.

Slide 8.

What types of nesting dolls are there - souvenirs?

Children's answers.

Matryoshka dolls – souvenirs – appear on the slides.

Slide 9 - 15.

Storyteller: Who can we give these souvenirs to?

Children:

— We can give the baby a matryoshka rattle.

- For a slightly older child - a matryoshka doll - a fairy tale, finger theater.

— We can give mom magnets for the refrigerator.

- For grandma - a teapot warmer embroidered with Russian nesting dolls.

— Key chains for my sister.

— You can decorate Christmas trees with matryoshka dolls.

Storyteller: But no matter what souvenir you and I choose, it always pleases us with its originality and beauty. This has been firmly preserved by the nesting doll for more than half a century, although it itself is already more than a hundred years old.

Storyteller: Guys, would you like to receive such souvenirs or give them to your family?

Children: Yes.

Storyteller: But where can you get them now?

Children:

- do it yourself;

- decorate;

- draw;

- write down;

- dress up.

Storyteller: I invite you to the workshop. (Children go to the workshop).

And now, dear guys,
Close your eyes for a moment.
Forget worries, fatigue,
After all, miracles will begin now!

Storyteller: To work, you and I will put on aprons and ribbons and turn into real masters.

Storyteller:

All nesting dolls love colorful clothes. So you and I will dress up and each make our own nesting doll. Some will paint matryoshka figurines, and others will make them using plasticine, peas, and coffee beans. (Children choose what material they will use to decorate the nesting dolls). Well, friends, let's get to work.

Practical work.

(Russian melody sounds).

Storyteller: Well done! You made some wonderful nesting dolls. What were you thinking about when you were doing your job?

Children:

- I thought what skilled craftsmen there were in ancient times;

— these nesting dolls can only be made with a kind heart;

- I thought that we need to remember our history, love our homeland.

Storyteller: (speaks words against the background of music)

The wonderful world of things
It has been accumulated for centuries.
Every home, and maybe a museum, keeps them.
Know how to draw and create with your hands
Everything that can make friends happy.

Let them remain with you as a souvenir of our work. Well, now it's time to leave. Goodbye!
