Lesson progress:
Conversation on the picture
When starting to work on a story, the teacher explains to students that the story is based on some incident or episode, asks them to remember the story on which an account was recently written, and asks what incident (episode) formed the basis of this story.
Today in the lesson you and I will also compose a story, and the basis of this story will be an episode seen by the artist and captured in the picture. Look carefully at the picture and say:
Where and when does the action depicted in the picture take place? (In the village, since in the distance you can see a forest, a country road; in summer, early in the morning)
By what signs did you determine that the picture depicts early morning? (The sun is just rising, the sky is pinkish from its rays. There are long shadows on the ground, like those that happen early in the morning.)
What morning is shown in the picture? (Cheerful, sunny, joyful. The sky is clear, cloudless, high)
How did the artist show that her father and older brother were going fishing? (The father is carrying oars, which means they will be fishing from a boat. On his back he has a backpack, probably with fishing equipment. The older boy has fishing rods in his hands.)
How does the picture show that the fishermen are leaving? (They are shown in motion, with their backs turned to the baby; the older brother looks around as he walks.)
Who do you think is the main character of the film? (Baby. He is depicted close-up in the center of the picture)
How old do you think he is? (The boy is from 4 to 5 years old. He is small in stature, and his pants, like a little one, have straps. The kid does not know how to dress properly: his shirt sticks out and is poorly tucked in)
How did you guess that the baby was preparing for fishing? (Next to the boy on the ground lies his fishing rod. He holds a bucket of worms in his hand)
What is your baby's mood and why? (The baby is in a bad, sad mood. He is very offended and upset because he was not taken fishing)
How did the artist show the baby’s distress? (The kid dropped his fishing rod out of insult, he has such an expression on his face as if he was about to cry. He is so upset that he doesn’t even notice how the chicken is stealing worms from his bucket)
Describe the boy in more detail. What is his posture, facial expression, hair, clothes? (He stands in a confused pose, bowed his head, knitted his eyebrows, pouted his lips, ready to cry. He has blond hair, tanned arms and legs. He is wearing a white shirt with short sleeves and black pants.)
Why didn't they take the baby fishing? (He’s still small, he’ll get tired and might fall off the boat.)
Who is watching the baby? (The girl is probably his sister. She looks out from behind the door.)
Why do you think your sister is smiling? (It’s funny for her to watch the chicken pull worms out of the bucket, but her little brother doesn’t see it)
Do you like this picture? Why do you like her? (It shows a very cute baby. My brother, when he is offended, looks very much like this boy. And I like how the artist showed the baby’s offense and the impudent chicken.)
When and how do you think the story began, the moment of which you see in the picture? (This story probably began in the evening, when the kid accidentally heard that his older brother and father were going fishing. He also wanted to go with them and ran into the garden to dig worms.)

Situational role-playing game
Teacher: - Now let’s try to revive this picture: to play out what happened the night before, what is happening now and what will happen later. You and I will become participants in the event that is depicted in the picture. We will play like artists on stage. This will help us compose a story based on the painting “We Didn’t Take You Fishing,” which you will then write at home.
The teacher invites students to conduct a situational role-playing game based on the plot of the picture, choose “artists”, distribute the roles of baby, father, older brother, sister and author. The author’s task is to introduce listeners to the circle of events that took place in the evening, to describe what is depicted in the picture (nature, characters, their mood) After which the student artists stage the plot of the picture.
Here's one possible scenario:
And the second one is the leading one. One evening, when the whole family had gathered for dinner, the father went out onto the porch. He looked up at the sky. There wasn't a single cloud there. The sun was already starting to set. The father thought that it would be nice to go fishing in the morning. He entered the house, the children were already sitting at the table. The father approached his eldest son and said...
Father. - Kolya, let's go fishing tomorrow.
K about l I. - Let's go, I'll dig up worms after dinner.
Author. - Little Andryusha, when he heard about fishing, dropped his spoon and quickly blurted out:
Baby. - And I'm with you.
Author. - Father smiled and did not answer. Andryusha began to ask his older brother to take him fishing. The baby begged and begged for so long that Kolya could not stand it and promised to take him.
K about l I. - Okay, we'll take you if you wake up early.
Author. - Andryusha ran to the garden, dug up worms, prepared a fishing rod and went to bed.
Morning has come. The rays of the rising sun turned everything pink. There's not a cloud in the sky. The day promised to be good. The baby woke up from some noise. He opened his eyes and saw that his father and brother were already getting ready to go fishing. Andryusha quickly got up, got dressed, pulled on his pants, somehow tucked in his shirt, grabbed a fishing rod, a can of worms and ran after the fishermen.
Baby. Dad, wait, I'm with you. Look what worms I dug up!
Father. - No, son, you are still small. When you grow up, you will go fishing with us. Stay home.
K about l I. Andryusha, don’t be offended, we’ll take you fishing another time.
Author. - The kid was very offended. He stood and almost cried. He didn't even see that the chicken was stealing worms from his bucket. The older sister looked out the door and smiled. She told the baby...
Sister. - Andryusha, let's go play!
Author. - And he was so offended that he didn’t even hear anything. He whispered to himself...
Baby. - I tried in vain. I worked so hard, but they didn’t take it.
Sister. - Andryusha, let's go for a bike ride, he's been waiting for you for a long time.
Author. - Andryusha remembered his favorite bicycle, forgot about his grief and ran for a ride. And in the evening his father and brother will come, and he will joyfully greet them from fishing.
At the end of the game, the teacher invites students to compose their own stories based on a given plot and act as a writer. However, before writing a story, the author must know laws his construction. To familiarize students with the composition of the story, the teacher invites them to return to the text of the dramatization.
You see, the author began with an introduction to the story and described the situation. Remember when and how the story began, the moment of which is depicted in the picture. (Little Andryusha found out that his father and older brother were going fishing. He decided to go with them) From that moment the action began, and we began to follow its development. This is the beginning.
How did the action develop further? What dialogue (conversation) took place between the baby and the father? (Andryusha prepared worms and a fishing rod, woke up early, got dressed and asked his father to take him fishing, but his father told him to stay at home.)
What was this moment like for the baby? (Very tense, he did not expect that he would not be taken fishing)
The most intense moment in the development of action is called the climax. The kid was not taken fishing, he was very upset. In this part of the story you will describe in detail the boy’s posture, his mood, and his facial expression. How do you think the action will end? (The baby will soon forget about his offense and will play happily, and when he grows up, he will also go fishing)
This is the denouement of the action. Now that you are already familiar with the features of story construction, you can, like real writers, write a story or script based on a picture.

Examples of some essays - student stories
Text 1
In the evening little Pavlik played with his sister Nina. Suddenly he saw that his older brother Sasha was digging for worms. Pavlik immediately guessed that Sasha and his father were going fishing. The kid whined and begged for so long that Sasha could not stand it and said: “Okay, we’ll take you.” Pavlik was very happy, approached Nina and boasted: “They’ll take me fishing, but you won’t!”
All evening Pavlik was preparing for fishing. He dug up worms in the garden, prepared a fishing rod, put everything under the bed and, satisfied, went to bed.
Morning has come. The rays of the rising sun turned everything pink. There's not a cloud in the sky. The day promised to be good. The baby woke up from some noise. He opened his eyes and saw that his father and brother were already getting ready to go fishing. They took fishing rods, oars, a backpack with food and got ready to leave. Pavlik quickly got up, got dressed himself, pulled on his pants, somehow tucked in his shirt, grabbed a fishing rod and a can of worms and ran out into the yard in a joyful mood after his father and brother.
Where are you going? - the father asked sternly.
“With you, fishing,” Pavlik answered.
Still young, stay home.
Pavlik remained standing in the middle of the yard. Out of resentment, he dropped the fishing rod, pouted his lips, wrinkled his face - he was about to cry. “Why, why didn’t they take me fishing? I tried so hard,” he thought. Pavlik was so upset that he did not notice how the impudent chicken was stealing from his jar the worms that he had dug up with such difficulty. And Ninka looked out from behind the door and laughed: “What, they didn’t take it?!” You won’t brag next time.” Then she felt sorry for her little brother, she went up to Pavlik and said: “Stop sulking, let’s go play, ride a bike.” Pavlik remembered his favorite bicycle, forgot about his grief and ran for a ride.
Essay analysis
A creative approach to writing a story was prepared by a situational role-playing game. As a result of the game, the student realized that the same image, the same mood can be conveyed in different ways: in words, in color, in facial expressions, and in gesture. He found himself in a communication situation close to those in which he finds himself every day, and he saw that depending on who he was communicating with (mother, father, baby, older brother), his words, facial expressions, and gestures changed. He got used to the characters, played as if on stage, as a result of which the story began to be perceived not just as a description of events, but as an action, where everyone had their own role. The story turned out to be emotional and lively.
Text 2
One evening, little Andreika learned that his father and older brother were going to go fishing. He walked up to dad, looked at him and asked:
Dad, will you take me fishing?
You know, Andrey, the morning is wiser than the evening. Go and go to bed, and we'll talk tomorrow.
But that was not the case. Little Andryushka began to cry so much that his father, in order to calm the baby, had to promise to take him fishing with him. Andryusha, tearful but very happy, went to bed.
Early morning. The sun hasn't risen yet. The dew shines like diamonds on the wet grass. In the distance, fog spreads like a white veil. Andryusha just woke up. The beds of my father and older brother were already empty. Oh, these adults! They promise everything, and then they take it and deceive you. What a shame! And Andrei dug up worms yesterday and put them in his father’s old pot. The kid quickly got dressed and ran out into the street.
Dad! Dad! Wait for me! - Father and brother were already leaving the fence.
Wait, I'm with you!
But the adults did not answer and walked forward, the older brother only turned around and looked at the baby. He probably remembered that he was just as small recently and they didn’t take him fishing either.
And Andrei stood rooted to the spot. The rays of the golden sun illuminated him and jumped merrily on the grass. But Andrey was sad. He didn't even notice that the chicken was feasting on his worms.
Ko-ko-ko, what a delicious breakfast. “I’ll eat everything now,” the chicken clucked. My sister looked out the door. She smiled and shouted:
Andrey! Now the chicken will eat all the worms! - The kid looked at the chicken and smiled. His resentment has already passed. And after a while he completely forgot about her. He played happily, rode a bike, sunbathed in the sun.
Essay analysis
Before us is an essay by a fifth-grader. the girl tried to convey the situation that was born in her imagination. All elements of this situation are already familiar to her both from previous experience and from the situational role-playing game conducted in class. However, the combination of these elements already represents something new, creative, belonging to herself.
This essay is distinguished by the proportionality of all parts of the story: beginning, climax, denouement. Revealing the main idea of the story, the student consistently conveys the event depicted in the picture, successfully conjectures what could have preceded the moment captured in the picture.
In an effort to convey the change of actions and events, the schoolgirl uses verbs ( found out, asked, woke up, forgot, played), to describe nature, morning uses adjectives ( wet grass, white veil, rays of golden sun).
The vocabulary is emotionally charged. One can feel the author's attitude towards the hero and empathy for him. To more clearly convey the child’s offense, the student points out such “talking” details as a fishing rod thrown on the ground, a chicken that is dragging worms out of a bucket.
The text is characterized by a logical sequence of sentences that are interconnected both thematically and temporally.
The student clearly understood the structure of the story. This is evidenced by the presence of paragraphs corresponding to each compositional moment. The essay successfully combines dialogues and descriptions, the transitions from descriptions of nature, from the author’s words to dialogues are well thought out.
The essay is not a set of fragments, but a complete story, where all the compositional parts are interconnected. This story is not a simple description of events, it is a kind of action in which the schoolgirl herself is not an outside observer, but a participant (she rejoices and worries along with the hero).

After dinner in the Nikolaev family, everyone went about their business. Mom cleaned the kitchen, sister Nina helped her. Father and older brother were preparing for fishing. The younger brother Timoshka also decided to go with them. He quietly left the house and ran into the garden. There Timoshka dug up worms and hid them. Then he returned home and, pleased that no one had noticed anything, went to bed.
It's morning. It's still very early. The sun is rising and the sky is still pink. Father and Petya had already gotten up, Timoshka also woke up. He quickly got dressed, ran out to get some worms and went to his father to ask him to go fishing. The father told his son that he was still small and promised to take him with him when he grew up.
His father and brother left, and Timoshka was left alone in the yard. The kid was very upset, out of frustration he even dropped his fishing rod and did not hear that his sister Nina was calling him to play. He was very sad, because he so wanted to catch a lot of fish. Timoshka’s face was gloomy; he wanted to cry from resentment. The boy stood motionless and did not notice at all that the chicken had pulled a worm out of his bucket. He was thinking about his...
But very little time passed, and the baby forgot about his offense. He is already happily riding his tricycle and waiting for his father and older brother to return from fishing.
Essay analysis
And this essay-story, like the previous two, is of a pronounced creative nature. Situational role-playing helped its author to feel like a participant in events, experience things with the hero, build dialogues, and figure out the plot of the film.
Each student tried to come up with his own plot, denouement of the action, to compose his own dialogues, different from those that were heard on the “stage”. There were no two identical works in the class, everyone wanted to create something of their own, new, interesting.

"We didn't take you fishing"
The favorite pastime of my dad, older brother Pavlik and me was fishing. Every morning we took fishing rods, bait, backpacks with breakfast and went to the river. That summer I went fishing for the first time, and I really enjoyed fishing. I looked at the float for a long time, imagining the catch. And when it finally started biting, before I caught the fish, I always wished for a big one.
Mostly small fish came across my fishing rod, but once I caught the biggest fish, a crucian carp. I felt like a hero that day. Dad praised me, and my brother, of course, was jealous. When we returned from fishing, I boasted about my catch to my mother and sister and, hearing words of approval from them, rushed off to play with my friends.
I wanted to show off my skill to my friends so much that I decided to borrow my dad’s fishing rods for a while without asking.
And so, having dug up worms and grabbing fishing rods, we went to the river. Arriving at the place where we usually fished, we settled down on the river bank. I began to explain to the guys how to attach a worm and cast a fishing rod. But, to be honest, my dad helped me with this myself, so I didn’t cope very well.
I don’t remember well how we walked home. How my comrades consoled me and what advice they gave me. At home, I slowly put the fishing rods in place, and that evening no one paid attention to them.
The next morning I woke up. And I saw that my father and brother were not there - they had already gone fishing without waking me up. I quickly got up, got dressed, grabbed my fishing rod and rushed after him. Very quickly I caught up with them. But dad, turning to me, sternly said that they would not take me with them anymore.
I watched them leave, and through sobs I heard my sister’s words that you should never take other people’s things without asking.
I remembered this lesson for the rest of my life.

Oleg Popovich is a world-famous artist who drew funny and funny illustrations for children's poems and counting rhymes, and then they were published in magazines for children. In his cheerful paintings for kids, he chose his own style of depiction, which no one has ever been able to repeat. One of his works for children is called “We Didn’t Take Fishing.”
The main character of the plot is a boy who does not yet go to school at all, and then one day he had a misfortune because he was not taken fishing. But the boy is very upset, since his father and his older brother went fishing together. Of course, the boy hoped until the last minute that he would be lucky this time, and he too would be able to go fishing as an adult. But they didn’t take him with them again, and the boy was very upset and offended.
The artist gave his hero a central place in his painting, so the viewer can clearly see that, watching the older men in the family leave for the river bank, he sighs heavily and wipes with his hand those tears that suddenly suddenly rolled into his eyes. But the little hero’s other hand holds a fishing rod, which, as it turns out, he doesn’t need yet.
Next to the boy on the ground lies an overturned small bucket, which, most likely, he threw out of resentment when he found out that he was not being taken fishing. Maybe this was his way of trying to express his indignation and resentment. The baby cried and screamed so loudly that a sister passing by stopped and decided to calm him down a little. She leaned over him and began to say that next time they would also take him fishing with them, and therefore he should not be so upset.
Probably this kid, who looks no more than six years old, has never been fishing before, but he has so often heard stories from his father and brother about what a pleasure it is that he has long dreamed of becoming one of the fishermen himself. The girl who calms him down is already a teenager, she is fourteen years old. And this kid’s older brother, who was already twelve years old, went fishing.
The plot of the artist Oleg Vladimirovich is divided into two parts. The first part is about the main character and his sister, who looks out of the house and tries to console her younger brother, who is sad and offended. And the second part of the plot is the father and older brother. They quickly move towards the fence to go fishing. It's interesting to watch how the eldest son copies his father's movements in order to appear more mature to everyone. Both fishermen are moving quickly and from the father’s expression it is noticeable that he is trying to leave the yard as quickly as possible so that the baby can calm down faster. But my brother doesn’t leave easily, and he also looks back, because he’s trying to leave in such a way that it’s noticeable. But at the same time, he also pointedly does not notice his crying brother.
To emphasize the similarity between father and son, artist Oleg Popovich introduces identical details into his plot. For example, the color of the backpacks of both the man and the young fisherman is green. Avid fishermen hold fishing rods in their hands. The heroes' backpacks go well with the rich color of the grass, a strip of which can be seen near the fence, and the fishermen are walking along it. The fence, which resembles a wattle fence, is also interesting. It is old and gray, every branch in it is described by the author of the picture clearly and in detail.
And in order for his pictorial plot to come to life and become more real, the artist Oleg Popovich introduced a huge number of small, but such significant details into his painting. For example, the viewer is struck by a dense dark cast iron, which someone once hung on the stakes of a wicker fence, and now it reminds the viewer that the entire plot of the painting is reality. On the green grass you can see small flowers of various colors, but in villages and villages the grass in the yard is always full of small bright flowers. And this detail is from the real world. It seems as if the picture is starting to come to life right before your eyes. A small gray sparrow is jumping on this grass. The painter Oleg Popovich captured him at the moment when he decided to take off.
All the paints used by the artist are bright and colorful. The author of the painting used this artistic technique specifically so that his canvas could interest not only adults and sensible people, but, above all, also children, because the plot is about them. All primary colors are present in the picture, as well as a huge variety of shades. Here are the fishermen's trousers of an unusual dark red color. The girl's shoes are the same color.
So the painter tried to unite the whole family so that they had something in common. There are other unifying colors in the picture. You can consider gray. This is the color of the small bucket that was thrown by the offended boy - the smallest member of the family. And his older brother, a fisherman, has the same pleasant gray sweater. And the same gray with small shades of brown wattle fence on which the cast iron hangs.
Oleg Popovich's picture is interesting and a little funny, since the boy, despite the fact that he is offended, evokes good feelings both towards him and the older fishermen.

When you see the drawing “We Didn’t Take You Fishing,” created by illustrator Oleg Vladimirovich Popovich, you first of all pay attention to its plot. After all, it is so simple and bright that it is understandable to every viewer, no matter whether it is an adult or a child.
In the illustration we see that on a sunny summer morning, grabbing fishing rods, the father and eldest son went fishing without taking their younger brother with them. Apparently, the boy really wanted to go with them. In bewilderment and frustration, the younger brother turned away from his relatives leaving for the river. And it seems that the little boy does not look after him so that his father and brother do not notice how he, covering his face with his hand, can barely restrain himself, trying not to cry from insult.
Perhaps the day before, the baby was even promised that he would be taken fishing and, having woken up early, he managed to dig up worms and put them in a small tin bucket. But for a little prank, or simply being afraid for a completely dependent child, the father decided to leave him at home.
The abandoned tin bucket and the fishing rod lying nearby indicate how upset the boy is. Now, the things collected for fishing are not needed and only frustrate the baby even more.
The older sister is bending over the boy and it seems that she is calm, although she sympathizes with her brother. Perhaps she quietly consoles the little boy and explains to him that next time he will be old enough to go fishing with his dad.
In Popovich’s illustration, a house or yard is not visible, but from the fence in the background, one can guess that the father and eldest son, loaded with backpacks, have already left the village courtyard and headed to the fishing spot. The artist seems to have divided his drawing into two plans. One tells us about a little boy and his sister, the other depicts an older brother proudly walking behind his father.
If we talk about the general characteristics of Popovich’s sketch, then this illustration very much reminds us of a painting by Ksenia Uspenskaya-Kologrivova, written several decades earlier. They are even called the same - “We didn’t take you fishing.” Popovich’s drawing, like the painting by Uspenskaya-Kologrivova, depicts the same plot and the same characters. It is even quite possible that it was Ksenia Nikolaevna’s painting that inspired children’s illustrator Popovich to create this ironic and subtle pencil sketch. It’s as if he made a retelling that was easier, more modern and understandable, even for the youngest viewers.
The artist tried to convey in his drawing a simple thought intended for children who strive to become adults as quickly as possible. The idea that you shouldn’t be upset about minor troubles and reasonable prohibitions from older family members. After all, there are many such interesting events and affairs ahead that the grievances that seemed serious and big in childhood, as the years pass, will certainly turn into small, sweet, and even a little funny memories.
Even more essays based on the drawing by O. V. Popovich “They didn’t take me fishing”:
Oleg Vladimirovich Popovich is an illustrator. His drawings have appeared in various publications and books for children. One of the most famous was the drawing (graphics) “They didn’t take me fishing.” In name and theme, it coincides with the famous painting (painting) by the Voronezh artist Ksenia Nikolaevna Uspenskaya-Kologrivova. That painting is in the Tretyakov Gallery and is also called “They didn’t take me fishing.”
Because of the name, confusion often arises; many believe that Popovich is the author of the painting. But he is the author of the drawing. The painting was created in 1955, and the drawing is several decades later. Even the clothes of the heroes speak about this. Although the picture shows it very schematically, it is clear that these are more modern things.
A drawing and a painting have a lot in common, but there are also differences. For example, there are four heroes here and there, one of the heroes is a girl. But in the picture the older boy and his dad are going fishing, and in the drawing there are two older boys. One is a teenager, and the second is an older guy, perhaps a student who came on vacation.
The view of the author of the drawing, Popovich, is ironic, cheerful, the work makes you smile. So, before us is a small scene: two older boys go fishing, but they don’t take the baby with them, although he has already taken out a fishing rod. The baby bursts into tears, but the fishermen do not pay attention to him. The girl tries to console her little brother. A few strokes with colored pencils - and the scene, drawn with the artist’s steady hand, is ready.

The painting “We Didn’t Take You Fishing” is familiar to all high school students, because in the fifth grade they are asked to write an essay on it. The Russian artist who painted it, Oleg Popovich, devoted his life to creating illustrations for children's magazines and books, so his canvas is more reminiscent of a simple drawing in “Funny Pictures” or “Murzilka”. Let's take a closer look at the painting in order to understand what the master wanted to say with its help.
The description of the painting “We Didn’t Take You Fishing” should begin with the characteristics of its main characters. On the canvas the artist depicted four people: one adult and three children. The main attention is drawn to the smallest character - a boy who looks no more than four years old. He stands and cries bitterly, covering his wet, reddened face with his little hand. It immediately becomes clear to the viewer that the little one was hoping to go fishing with his father and older brother, but they did not want to take him with them. The kid hoped to the last that they would take him; he even prepared a fishing rod and a bucket for this purpose and got up early. But dad considered him too small and left him at home under the supervision of his sister. The father is adamant in his decision, and children's tears are not able to pity him. He understands perfectly well that in an hour the little one will forget about his morning tragedy and get carried away by some interesting game.
The protagonist's older brother was much luckier. He looks about 12 years old. He goes fishing with his father and is terribly proud of it. The boy carries a fishing rod in front of him, like a precious trophy, and lifts his head high in front of his crying brother. He has a heavy backpack with gear behind him, but he doesn’t feel its weight. Judging by the boy's reaction, his father is taking him fishing for the first time. This is evidenced by the overly solemn appearance of the character. The boy follows his father and even tries to copy his gait.
The children's father is a serious and intelligent man. These qualities of his are very clearly conveyed by the painting “We Didn’t Take You Fishing.” Popovich portrayed the children's father as focused and oblivious to the baby's tantrum. Dad is completely calm and unperturbed. He remembers whether he took everything with him on fishing, and little things like the whims of his youngest child bother him little. Behind his back he has the same backpack as his eldest son, and in his hands is a yellow shopping bag. The father casually carries the fishing rod on his shoulder.
The fourth heroine of the picture is the boys' sister. She appears to be about eleven years old. The girl is very similar to her older brother. She is not interested in fishing, but she has to get up early to look after the baby. The girl looks at her brother with mockery. She had no doubt that they wouldn’t take him fishing. But the girl does not want to calm the baby down. Tired of his frequent tantrums, she simply watches him, crossing her arms over her chest and carefreely twirling a flower in her palms. The sister knows: as soon as the elders disappear from sight, the baby will stop crying.
When describing Popovich’s painting “They Didn’t Take You Fishing,” you need to pay attention to the objects that surround the characters. To enliven his work, the artist depicted on it an old fence carelessly put together from boards, on which an old clay pot flaunts. From under the heroes’ feet, green grass and small red and blue flowers scatter in different directions. In addition to people, there is another character in the picture - a sparrow. Attracted by the children's cries, he spins around under people's feet, watching the scene with curiosity. Von Popovich left it white. With this approach, he wanted to focus the audience's attention on what was happening, without distracting it with extraneous details.
Judging by the color scheme, it is immediately clear that the painting “We Didn’t Take You Fishing” was written for children of primary and secondary school age. When creating it, Popovich used bright colors (green, yellow, blue, red), which children really like. There is absolutely no black color in the picture, which makes it cheerful, sunny and positive. And even children's tears cannot spoil this impression.

Looking at Oleg Vladimirovich Popovich’s painting “We Didn’t Take You Fishing,” you involuntarily remember the illustrations on the pages of children’s magazines, as well as books for children. This is not surprising: O. V. Popovich is a famous illustrator who works on the design of publications intended for children.
Characteristic image style, lively, memorable; a little funny, perhaps in some ways a little similar to caricatures. You can just imagine how the author, working on a drawing, smiles, and the smile is kind, warm, like a ray of sunshine.
Of course, the artist loves his heroes, rejoices at their successes, and sympathizes with their mistakes and failures. The plot of the picture will be clear to every viewer, even those who cannot yet read or do not know what the author called the picture. The father and eldest son went fishing together, but did not take the little boy with them. Obviously, he hoped to go with them until the last minute. Maybe they even promised to take him with them if he behaved well, as adults often promise to children, and then they didn’t take him as punishment for some minor offense or simply under the pretext that he was still small.
It can be assumed that the mother forbade taking the boy fishing, fearing that something bad might happen to the child: what if the father and brother became so keen on fishing that at some point they would stop closely monitoring the baby. One way or another, we see that the boy is very upset. He looks after his father and brother as they leave, wiping his tears with his hand. In his other hand the boy holds a fishing rod, which he did not need. An overturned bucket is lying in the grass nearby: probably, a distressed child dropped it or even threw it on purpose to express his protest and indignation.
A girl stands next to the baby - probably her older sister. She leaned towards the child with sympathy; one can assume that she is persuading him not to cry and not to be upset so much - if he behaves well, next time he will definitely be taken fishing. It can be assumed that the youngest boy is about five or six years old, and the older boy and girl are approximately twelve to fourteen years old.
It is difficult to say what the boy is most upset about - the fact that he will not go fishing, or the fact that he was deprived of the opportunity to feel like an adult. Most likely, he has never been fishing before, so he can hardly imagine the pleasure that can be obtained from this activity. But the example of his father and brother, their conversations about fishing, of course, had long interested the kid. After all, everything unfamiliar, especially those related to the world of adults, always attracts children.
In the composition of the picture, two groups of characters can be distinguished: a father with his eldest son and a sister with his younger brother. The father and eldest son walk towards the fence: we see neither the house nor the gate, but it is obvious that the characters in the picture are about to leave the yard. The artist depicted his characters in motion. It is interesting to note an interesting detail - the movements of both, father and son, are almost the same. It can be assumed that the boy copies his father’s behavior, trying to look mature and serious, a real fisherman. Both do not pay attention to the baby's indignation. However, from the expressions on their faces, it can be assumed that the father is doing this so that the baby will stop crying faster, or is simply absorbed in thoughts about the upcoming fishing. The brother defiantly ignores the behavior of the younger brother, carried away by imitating his father. But the father smiles good-naturedly, looking ahead, and his eldest son defiantly turned away from the baby, raising his chin.
The commonality of the compositional group “father - eldest son” is emphasized by such details as identical green backpacks, although the boy has a slightly smaller backpack, and also by the fact that both are carrying fishing rods. The father carries two fishing rods on his shoulder, the son holds the fishing rod vertically. Although the baby also has a fishing rod in his hands, it does not stand out from the general background, since he lowered it down.
The other group consists of a girl and a baby. If you look carefully at the drawing, this group can easily be fit into an imaginary triangle, in the lower right corner of which there will be a bucket thrown by the baby. The girl looks at the baby. She is probably consoling him, but the expression on her face suggests that she considers the reason for his tears to be frivolous. She does not try to caress the upset child; on the contrary, she folds her arms over her chest and carefreely twirls a flower in her fingers. If she calms the child, it is more likely so that he does not interfere with his crying.
Not least important for creating a holistic composition are such details as the outlines of the fence, clear in the right side of the corner and blurred in the distance, as well as the strip of grass along which the characters depicted by the artist walk and stand. In order to enliven the image and make it more realistic, the artist also used a number of small but expressive details: an inverted cast iron pot on one of the fence stakes, childishly drawn red and blue flowers in the grass, and a sparrow about to take off.
The artist used bright colors, which is quite justified if you keep in mind that the painting is intended for children. On it we can easily find four primary colors: green, yellow, red and blue. In addition to them, the artist also used other colors: different shades of reddish-brown (the father's and the little boy's trousers, the father's boots, the girl's shoes and the cast iron on the fence), gray (the older boy's sweater and bucket), grayish-brown (the fence).
As noted, father and son both have green backpacks; a lighter tone is used to depict grass. In the picture, the bag the father is carrying in his hands and the baby’s T-shirt with narrow red stripes are yellow. The girl's red blouse and the older boy's slippers; Father's cap has a red side. The older boy's jeans are bright blue; The girl's skirt is a darker shade. The hair of the man and the boys is approximately the same shade, dark brown, but in the boys it has a slightly noticeable reddish tint; The girl has red hair. It should be noted that the artist did not add tone to the faces; he only outlined the blush on the cheeks. The main background is a white sheet of paper.

Lesson progress
I. Organizational moment. Message of the topic of the lesson.
A student prepared in advance reads the poem “Two Fishermen” by R. Parve.
Who are these travelers?
Who's in a hurry there?
To the bank of our river?
Grandfather with a pipe
And little Tiit-
Both of them are fishermen.
Trick-trick -
Grandfather is ahead.
Top-top-
Grandson behind.
Who's there in the bushes
Sitting above the water?
Who's there for the fish?
Is he watching closely?
Grandfatherwith a pipe
And little Tiit
Waiting
When will it be
Fish have an appetite.
Here's the float
He barely bent over.
The fishing rod bends in your hand.
Grandfather jerk-
And the roach fish
He's already on the hook!
It's like fishing!
Goes on the hook
Today there is roach after roach.
Grandfather says:
Get ready, son.
The hostesses are waiting for us at home!
Who are these travelers?
Who's in a hurry there?
Who's walking from the river there?
Grandfather with a pipe
And little Tiit-
Both of them are fishermen.
Trick-trick-
Grandfather is ahead.
Top-top-
Grandson behind
Grandfather caught it
For the whole family
Lots of roach and eels.
Little Tiit
For one cat
Just a saucer
Ruffs.
What is this poem about?

What feelings did you have when you went fishing?
Have you ever had a time when you were not taken fishing?
Today we will get acquainted with the painting by Ksenia Nikolaevna Uspenskaya-Kologrivova “They didn’t take us fishing”
II. Conversation on the picture.
Look at the reproduction of the painting by Ksenia Nikolaevna Uspenskaya-Kologrivova “They didn’t take me fishing.”
Where does the action depicted in the picture take place? (In the village)
When does the action depicted in the picture take place? Determine the time of year and time of day.) The action takes place in the summer, early in the morning)
By what signs did you determine that the picture depicts early morning? (The sun is just rising, the sky is pinkish from its rays. There are long shadows on the ground, the kind you see early in the morning.)
What kind of morning is depicted in the picture? (Cheerful, sunny, joyful.)
Describe the sky. (The sky is clear, cloudless, high)
How did the artist show that the father and older brother were going fishing?) The father carries oars, which means they will fish from a boat. On his back he has a backpack, probably with fishing equipment. The older boy carries fishing rods.)
How did you hear in the picture that the fishermen were leaving?) They are shown in motion, with their backs to the baby, the older brother looks at them as they go.)
That's right, guys, the figures of the fishermen are directed forward. The position of the legs of the body shows that they are moving away. Who do you think is the main character of the picture? (Little boy 4-5 years old)
How did you determine the boy’s age? (The boy knows how to dress properly: his shirt sticks out, his pants are poorly tucked in. He also rides a tricycle.)
That's right, guys, you noticed all this very correctly. Indeed, the bicycle speaks of the boy's age, it is no coincidence that he is depicted in the picture. And how did the artist show that the baby is the main character of the picture? (The baby is depicted in the foreground, almost in the center The painting, separately from other characters, is clearly visible, the gaze of the other two characters (sister and brother) is fixed on him.)
By what details of the picture can you guess that the kid was preparing for fishing? (Near the boy on the ground lies a fishing rod, which he prepared for fishing. He holds a bucket of worms in his hand.)
What is the baby’s mood and why? (“He is very offended, upset, because he was not taken fishing.”)
How did the artist show the child’s distress? (“The boy doesn’t notice how the chicken is pulling worms out of his bucket”; “He threw the fishing rod out of resentment, wrinkled his face, and was about to cry.”)
Describe the boy in more detail, his posture, facial expression, hair, clothes. (“He stands in a confused pose, bowed his head, raised his hand, as if scratching behind his ear, knitted his eyebrows, pouted his lips, ready to cry”; “He has blond golden hair , tanned arms and legs. A ray of sun illuminates his face"; "He is wearing a white shirt with short sleeves and black pants.")
Why were these two colors used to depict clothing? (A boy in a white shirt and black pants stands out well against the background of the blue wall of the house.)
That’s right, and the artist uses color to highlight the main character of the painting. How long do you think the boy has been standing in such a distressed pose? (He hasn’t been standing like that for long, because his father and brother are still in the yard and haven’t had time to leave the gate.)
The baby really doesn’t stand in this position for long, it’s unlikely he’s capable of being angry for a long time. Why didn’t they take the baby fishing? (He’s still small, he’ll get tired, and he might fall out of the boat.)
Who is watching the baby in the yard? (Sister, she looks out from behind the door.)
Why is the sister smiling? (It’s funny for her to watch the chicken pull worms out of the bucket, but her brother doesn’t see. The sister is happy that her brother stayed at home and she won’t be bored.)
What impression does the picture make on you? (Both happy and sad.)
Why is it funny? (Funny because it’s funny to watch a chicken steal worms from a baby’s bucket, but he doesn’t see. The picture shows a sunny morning, good weather. Delicate light colors are pleasing to the eye, they’re nice to look at.)
Why sad? (Sad because the baby is upset.)
Do you feel sorry for this baby? (Not very much. His grief is not so great. He will grow up and go fishing.)
Pay attention to the bicycle, which apparently speaks not only about the boy’s age, but also that the kid will soon forget about fishing, his grief, and will have fun riding.
Do you like this picture?
Why do you like it? (It shows a very cute baby. The artist interestingly showed the baby’s resentment and the impudent chicken.)
Indeed, the picture is very interesting and life-like. Now let’s try to compose a story based on this picture.

Sample essay.
“In the evening, little Pavlik played with his sister Nina.
Suddenly he saw that his older brother Sasha was digging for worms. Pavlik immediately guessed that Sasha and his father were going fishing. He ran up to his brother and began to ask to be taken too. The little one whined and begged for so long that Sasha could not stand it and said : “Okay, we’ll take you.” Pavlik was very happy, went up to Nina and boasted: “They’ll take me fishing, but you won’t!”
All evening Pavlik was preparing for fishing. He dug up worms in the garden, prepared a fishing rod, put everything under the bed and went to bed, satisfied.
Morning came. The rays of the rising sun painted everything pink. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky. The day promised to be good. The baby woke up from some noise. He opened his eyes and saw that his father and brother were already getting ready to go fishing. They took fishing rods, oars, a backpack with food and got ready to leave. Pavlik quickly got up, dressed himself, pulled on his pants, somehow tucked in his shirt, grabbed a fishing rod and a can of worms and ran out into the yard in a joyful mood after his father and brother.
“Where are you going?” the father asked sternly, seeing his little son.
“I’ll go fishing with you,” Pavlik answered.
Still young, stay home.
Pavlik remained standing in the middle of the yard. Out of resentment, he threw down his fishing rod, pouted his lips, wrinkled his face, and was about to cry. “Well, why, why didn’t they take me fishing? I tried so hard,” he thought. Pavlik was so upset, that he didn’t notice how the impudent chicken was stealing from his jar of worms, which he had dug up with such difficulty. And Ninka looked out from behind the door and laughed: “What, they didn’t take it?! You won’t brag next time.” Then her little brother , she approached Pavlik and said: “Stop sulking, let's go play, ride a bike.
