On planet Earth, more than two hundred and fifty countries, several thousand nations, nationalities, peoples large and small exist and interact with each other. And each of them has its own characteristics, customs and traditions formed over the centuries characteristic features. There are also artistic symbols of the peoples of the world that reflect their ideas about existence, religion, philosophy and other knowledge and concepts. IN different countries they differ from each other, possessing the uniqueness and originality inherent in this or that piece of the planet. They do not directly depend on state power, and are sometimes formed during changes in authorities and rulers by the people themselves. What are the artistic symbols of the peoples of the world in the generally accepted understanding of this word?
Symbol
Roughly speaking, a symbol is an exaggerated sign. That is, an image, usually schematic and conventional, of an object, animal, plant, or concept, quality, phenomenon, idea. What distinguishes a symbol from a sign is the sacred context, the moment of normativity and social or religious-mystical spirituality expressed in the image (usually schematically and simplified).
Artistic symbols of the peoples of the world
Probably each country has its own man-made miracles made by people. It is not for nothing that in ancient times seven miracles were singled out, which were considered, of course, unique artistic symbols (the first list was compiled, it is believed, by Herodotus in the fifth century BC new era there were only three miracles in it). These included the pyramid of Cheops, the gardens of Babylon, the statue of Zeus, Alexandria Lighthouse and others. The list varied over the centuries: some names were added, others disappeared. Many artistic symbols of the peoples of the world have not survived to this day. After all, in fact, they have been there at all times various peoples immeasurable amount. It’s just that the number seven was considered sacred, magical. Well, time has preserved today only a few symbols of the peoples of the world.
List
- The leading position in it, of course, is occupied by Egyptian pyramids. Scientists are still debating their origin and the phenomenon of construction. But the fact remains: this is one of the global wonders of the world that has survived to this day since ancient times. An artistic symbol that is truly worth looking at!
- China's national pride and impeccable artistic symbol is the Great Wall. It lasts for many kilometers, from the very depths of centuries to our times!
- In England, this is Stonehenge, at first glance, a collection of stones piled up. But how fascinating! And scientists still cannot determine exactly how old this magical building is. It is not for nothing that numerous pilgrims flock there every year.
In general, there are a great many symbols, and there is hope that new ones will appear, expanding the already familiar list!

Topic 2: MHC. Artistic symbols (slide 1)
We found out that culture is born in civilization and can exist outside of it.
Culture is divided into national and world. (slide 2)
Today we will look at what the concept of world artistic culture includes. (slide 3)
World artistic culture- This is a set of cultures of the peoples of the world that have developed in various regions throughout the historical development of human civilization.
Artistic culture is most often represented in works of art that creatively reproduce reality in artistic images. (slide 4)
An artist is a special person; he creates the world in accordance with his personal ideas about it. Feelings, thoughts and experiences, refracted in his mind, give rise to unique artistic images.
They are created as a result of reflection, evaluation, selection the required material from the many things seen and heard. The artist looks at life biasedly, he looks for in it what can awaken reciprocal feelings and experiences in the human soul. His imagination knows no bounds, it is capable of creating miracles...
In the 15th century, the artist Hieronymus Bosch lived in the Netherlands. (slide 5)

(click)(click)He gave only his love to nature, to the endless expanses of plains, smooth lakes, and hilly distances. There he found rest and joy for himself.
Our main conversation during the study of the subject of MHC is about outstanding works of world artistic culture.
Every nation has its own artistic symbols.
There are more than 250 countries on our planet, home to several thousand peoples, each of which has its own traditions and characteristics. You have probably heard more than once such combinations of words as “German neatness”, “French gallantry”, “Chinese ceremonies”, “African temperament”, “coldness of the British”, “hot temper of the Italians”, “hospitality of the Georgians”, etc. Behind each of them are characteristics and traits that have developed among a certain people over many years.
-Well, and in artistic culture?
-Are there similar stable images and features in her?
Undoubtedly. Each nation has its own symbols that reflect artistic ideas about the world.
Imagine you have arrived in an unfamiliar country.
What will interest you first??
Of course, what language is spoken here? Which attractions will be shown first? What do they worship and believe in? What stories, myths and legends are told? How do they dance and sing? And much, much more.
What, for example, will they show you if you visit Egypt?
Of course, the ancient pyramids (slide 6)) considered one of the wonders of the world and have long become an artistic symbol of this country.

The construction of this useless and monstrous Eiffel Tower in the very center of Paris is nothing more than a profanation...” (slide 8)
5. It is interesting that this protest was signed by very famous cultural figures: composer Charles Gounod, writers Alexandre Dumas, Guy de Maupassant...

What is it that attracts the Japanese so much about cherry blossoms?

No, they are attracted by the beauty of impermanence, the fragility and fleetingness of life. (click) A sakura flower is a living creature capable of experiencing the same feelings as a person.

Why are you sad, birch grove?
What thought weighs on your mind?
I look at the light through the thick flowering crowns
And I listen to your green noise.
You rustle the leaves in alarm,
Hastening to open my whole soul again.
And I shake my head too,

Here in Rus' there is no limit to sorrows...
Let's stand in silence, dear.
And everything you wanted to tell me,
And so I will understand by your tears.

Then sad, crying.

Bends low in the wind
And it bends, but does not break!

What do you think will be the symbol of the Varna region? That's right, Tamerlane's Tower.
Student. The mausoleum was built on a hill near a dry lake near the regional center of Varna.
The tower was built in the 14th century. This is a rare example of early Muslim architecture in Southern Urals. In addition to Kesene, similar mausoleums are known in Bashkiria: the mausoleums of Turakhan and Husein-Bek. There are hundreds of small mounds around the mausoleum.
The mausoleum building itself is located on a rectangular area, bounded by a moat and a rampart. It is built from flat square baked bricks and looks like a 12-sided pyramid mounted on a 12-sided prism. The prism rests on a low cylinder: below is the main building of the cubic mausoleum. The entrance on the south side is decorated with a portal.
