Appendix 2
Explanatory note
Methodological recommendations for completing tests by students of correspondence courses in the discipline “English Language” are intended to implement state requirements for the minimum content and level of training of graduates in specialty 030503.51 “Jurisprudence”.
The main goal of the English language course at a non-linguistic university is to teach practical proficiency in everyday speech and the language of specialty for the active use of English, both in everyday and professional communication. The criterion for practical knowledge of the English language is the ability to confidently use the most commonly used and relatively simple language means in the main types of speech activity: speaking, listening comprehension (listening), reading and writing. Practical knowledge of the language of the specialty also presupposes the ability to independently work with specialized literature in English in order to obtain professional information.
As a result of studying an academic discipline, a correspondence student must:
know:
Basic vocabulary of the general language;
Basic terminology of your specialty;
Basic techniques for annotating, summarizing and translating literature in the specialty;
Basic grammatical rules and phenomena;
Use the studied grammatical and lexical material in practice.
Home test work is carried out in order to consolidate the acquired theoretical knowledge and develop skills and abilities to apply them in practice. Before starting the test, you need to study the content of the relevant textbooks and lecture notes. When completing the test, you should be guided by the general instructions for performing written work.
All tasks for the test are divided into 10 options. The option number is determined by the last digit in the student’s record book number or student ID card. The test in this discipline consists of 12 practical tasks.
Evaluation criteria:
The test work is graded on a five-point system.
5 points– the work was completed in full, without errors, neatly executed.
4 points– there are grammatical errors in the work, there are errors in design.
3 points– the student has completed at least 50% of the assignment.
2 points– the student did not complete the assignment (less than 50% of the assignment was completed), there were gross errors in the assignments, and the assignment was not completed independently.
Appendix 3
Explanatory note
Methodological recommendations for organizing and conducting practical classes are intended to implement state requirements for the minimum content and level of training of graduates in specialty 080107.52 “Taxes and Taxation”.
Methodological recommendations will allow students to most effectively organize their activities in completing practical assignments in the discipline “Fundamentals of Research Activity”. Studying the discipline involves practical exercises, the implementation of which involves creative work by students on topics determined independently and agreed upon with the teacher. Thus, high-quality mastery of the discipline “Fundamentals of Research Activity” will be achieved with the implementation of a person-centered approach to its study. The recommendations present the topics of practical classes, provide their detailed plans with comments and explanations.
The purpose of the academic discipline “Fundamentals of Research Activity” is to provide basic knowledge for carrying out research in the process of scientific knowledge and theoretical justification of professional tasks.
The content of the discipline “Fundamentals of Research Activity” allows you to understand the role of research work in the practical activities of a specialist, master and consolidate the basic concepts of scientific research, get an idea of the methods and logic of scientific knowledge, search, accumulation, processing of scientific information and presentation of research results.
As a result of studying the discipline, the student must
have an idea:
About the current state of science as a sociocultural phenomenon and its significance for human life;
know:
Research methodology;
Methods of searching and accumulating the necessary scientific information, processing it and presenting the results;
Methods of scientific knowledge;
General structure and scientific apparatus of research;
Techniques and methods for searching and accumulating the necessary scientific information;
be able to:
Apply theoretical knowledge to solve specific practical problems;
Determine the object of research, formulate the goal, draw up a plan for carrying out the research;
Collect, study and process information;
Formulate conclusions and make generalizations;
Work with computer programs when processing and formatting research results.
To complete practical tasks, the student must turn to knowledge previously acquired in such disciplines as “Russian language and speech culture”, “Business communication”, “Fundamentals of philosophy”, “Documentation support for management”.
In fact, the creative work performed by students as part of practical classes is a reproduction “in miniature” of research work. The experience gained while performing creative work in the future will allow students to competently plan and implement research work various levels of complexity: coursework, thesis, research project, etc.
Assessment of the quality of creative work performed by students will be carried out in stages, in accordance with the plan of practical classes on a five-point scale. The result of creative work is its defense at the last practical lesson.
Evaluation criteria:
5 points– the work was completed by the student independently, in full, without errors, neatly formatted, its defense was carried out competently, and interestingly.
4 points– the work was completed with little help from the teacher, mistakes were made that do not distort the topic of the work, there are errors in the design, its defense was carried out competently.
3 points– the work was completed by the student with constant and significant assistance from the teacher, errors were made in the presentation of the topic of the work, there were errors in the design, its defense was carried out briefly, without the interest of the audience present.
2 points– the student did not cope with the work, there are gross distortions of the topic, violation of design. These works are not allowed for protection.

Explanatory note to the educational manual on English for students of the Faculty of Technology and Entrepreneurship
This educational and methodological manual on the discipline “foreign language” was developed for PTIP students, taking into account the specifics of the faculty. The textbook was compiled for work with students studying in the following specialties: “Fine Arts”, “Artistic Technologies and Design” and “Home Culture and Arts and Crafts”.
The manual is a collection of texts for reading in the specialty with assignments for them. The manual consists of two main parts: “The Fine Arts” and “Design”
The main goals of this collection are to develop in students of non-linguistic faculties the ability to read literature in their specialty, to expand their vocabulary, to improve the lexical and grammatical skills acquired in foreign language lessons at school, as well as to develop the ability to make monologue statements. Assignments to texts provide for the development of students' ability to read in order to find the necessary information, as well as with a full understanding of what they read.
To make it easier to work with texts, the manual is equipped with a list of geographical names and personal names with transcription.
This textbook can be used both for classroom work with students and for independent work of students.
THE FINE ARTS
Read texts A – F and answer the questions about different styles of art.
(Some of the styles may be used more than once in your answers)
A Cave Paintings
The cave paintings on the walls of caves in Spain and southern France are the earliest form of art we have. They show a wide variety of animals, such as bears, horses and deer. The pictures were painted in bright colors, which were made of various minerals mixed with animal fat, egg whites, plant juices and even blood. They were almost certainly connected with hunting. In one famous example, in a cave in Lascaux in France, a man is shown among some animals and there are several dark dots in the painting. The meaning of the painting is not certain, but it shows that the cave dwellers had superb artistic skills.
B Egyptian Paintings
More than 5,000 years ago, the Egyptians began painting the world around them on the walls of the Pharaohs’ tombs. The Egyptians believed there was life after death, so they painted pictures of mythological stories and of daily life. People and animals were shown involved in daily activities, such as hunting, farming and eating.
C Greek Art
The most artistic people of any age were, perhaps, the Greeks around 500 BC. Their aim in sculpture was the imitation of life, but life in its perfect or ideal form. We have many examples of Greek sculpture, which is characterized by the beauty of its forms and amazing knowledge of human anatomy. Most of the sculptures portray gods and goddesses from mythology.
Most Greek wall paintings have not survived, but we have a few examples by the Minoans of Crete in the ancient royal palaces of Knossos and Santorini. These pictures are very realistic and lively. The most common subjects are sports, celebrations, dolphins and beautiful young people.
D The Renaissance
The Renaissance is usually defined as the rebirth of painting and literature inspired by classical models, especially those of ancient Greece. The Renaissance lasted from the 15th to the 16th century and its center was Italy. The great artists of the period, who include Michelangelo, Leonardo and Botticelli, were able to paint nature and people with great accuracy. More than any other style, the works of the Italian Renaissance can be seen in museum collections throughout the world.
E Impressionism
The name comes from a picture by Monet, “Impression, Sunrise” (1872). This painting shows Monet’s interest in analyzing tone and color and, above all, the way light reflects on the surface of objects. As a result, the objects do not have a clear outline. The first Impressionist exhibition was held in 1874 when Monet, Renoir, Cezanne, Degas and others announced that the aim of the movement was to achieve greater naturalism in painting. Most Impressionist pictures are of landscapes and the Impressionists liked to use bright colors, even when portraying shadows; this often gives their work a joyful, optimistic feel.
F Modernism
Following the Impressionist movement, artists such as Picasso and Braque tried to change the style of painting from naturalistic to more abstract. Instead of trying to make a realistic copy of an object, they wanted to show it from a variety of different angles. In their paintings, several views of an object or person are combined, which often results in such things as eyes and noses appearing in unusual places or at strange angles. Some people conclude from these paintings that the artists could not draw. On the contrary, Picasso and Braque were perfectly capable of painting naturalistic paintings, but this was not their aim in art.

Paul Cezanne (1
Nationality: French
Movement: Post-Impressionism
Media: Painting
Paul Cezanne was the son of a prosperous banker, who studied painting in Paris. He was one of the most important painters of the second half of the 19th century. In many of his early works, up to about 1870, he depicted dark, imaginary subjects in a violent, expressive manner. In the 1870s he came under the influence of IMPRESSIONISM, particularly as practiced by Camille Pissarro, and he participated in the First (1874) and Third (1877) Impressionist Exhibitions. His first few Impressionist exhibitions from 1874 to 1877, were criticized, which discouraged Cezanne from avidly displaying his works.
Though he considered the study of nature essential to painting, he nevertheless opposed many aspects of the Impressionist aesthetic. Believing color and form to be inseparable, he tried to emphasize structure and solidity in his work, features he thought neglected by Impressionism. For this reason he was a central figure in POST-IMPRESSIONISM.
He created 1300 paintings in his career, all of which retained a sense of mystery, as none of them were dated and very few were signed. Until the end of his life he received little public success and was repeatedly rejected by the Paris Salon. In his last years his work began to influence many younger artists, including both the Fauves and the Cubists, and he is therefore often seen as a precursor of 20th century art.

John Constable (1
Nationality: British
Movement: Romanticism
Media: Painting
British landscape painter, John Constable was born and raised in Suffolk, England. His father was a wealthy corn merchant. After he left school he worked in his father's business. His heart was not in it, however, and in 1799 he induced his father to send him to the Royal Academy in London to study art. Although at the beginning of his career, landscape painting was a low-paid and disrespected career, Constable chose that path despite the indignation of his family and friends. Constable rejected the formal or "picturesque" rendering of nature found in the works of artists like Gainsborough Instead, he tried to capture. informally the effects of changing light and the patterns of clouds moving across the country sky. He loved the countryside, and his best works were of outdoor scenes in his native Suffolk and his London home in Hampstead He worked in the open air, though he. returned to his studio to finish his paintings. His larger scenes were sketched full-size in oil, and the sketch was then used as a model for the finished painting.
After creating a series of six-foot wide landscapes, Constable was granted membership of the Royal Academy and won a gold medal at the Paris Salon.
Constable's work was greatly influenced by the French artist Delacroix, and the so-called "Barbizon School", who followed Constable's lead in working outdoors.

Pablo Picasso (1
Nationality: Spanish
Movement: Cubism
Media: Painting
Pablo Ruiz Picasso was born in Malaga, Spain. The son of a Basque art teacher, Picasso showed a very early talent for drawing. He was fourteen when the family moved to Barcelona where his father was a professor at the School of Art. Two years later Picasso had his first exhibition of rather somber, quite classical paintings. Between 1900 and 1904 he made three trips to Paris where he studied the works of the Impressionists and of Cezanne. In 1904 he settled in France, where he remained all his life.
From 1901 onwards, Picasso's work may be divided into periods, each showing different influences and personal interests. Paintings from Picasso's blue period () depicting forlorn people painted in shades of blue, evoking feelings of sadness and alienation. After his move to Paris in 1904, Picasso's rose period paintings took on a warmer, more optimistic mood. In 1907 he and the French painter George Braque pioneered cubism (familiar objects such as glasses and pitchers were broken down into geometric planes).
From about 1912 to 1915, the collage or paste-up method of Synthetic Cubism was developed in which bits of cloth or paper were used to build up an the late 1920s he turned toward a flat, cubist-related style. During the 1930s his paintings became militant and political. Guernica (1937), a masterpiece from this period depicts the terror of the bombing of the town of Guernica during the Spanish civil war.
Following World War II, Picasso's works became less political and more gentle. He spent the remaining years of his life in an exploration of various historical styles of art, making several reproductions of the works of earlier artists. In addition to painting, he would explore sculpture, ceramics and other art forms, and become one of the most influential artists of the 1900s.

Sir Anthony Van Dyck (1
Nationality: Belgian
Movement: Flemish School
Media: Painting
Anthony van Dyck, portraitist, was born in Antwerp. A child prodigy, he signed his first portrait in 1616 and was quite well known when he became a member of Rubens" studio before he had reached the age of twenty. Van Dyck became Rubens" favorite pupil and his most valued assistant. Van Dyck could soon imitate the master's style so well that it was impossible to distinguish the work of one from that of the other. In 1620, Van Dyck was invited to England for a short period to paint court portraits. He spent the next seven years in Genoa painting religious themes in a baroque style and studying the Italian masters, especially Titian and the Venetian School In 1627 he returned to Antwerp where he continued with his religious paintings and completed a series of etchings - brilliant psychological portraits of contemporary poets. and artists.
His portraits became more restrained and slightly less brilliant in color as he began to develop his own style. Van Dyck returned to England in 1632 and spent the rest of his life there as a court painter to Charles I. During the last nine years of his life, he painted over 350 court portraits. These are executed in an entirely original style characterized by a warm palette, subdued by his use of cold grays and blacks and by skillful draftsmanship, and combined in a manner that shows the influence of Rubens as well as the mannerist elegance of Titian. These distinguished portraits of an elegant and almost unreal court became the model for later English portrait painters of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and influenced a vast number of European artists including Gainsborough, Watteau, and Renoir.

Albrecht Dürer (14
Nationality: German
Movement: Northern Renaissance
Media: painting and engraving
Albrecht Dürer is the greatest exponent of Northern European Renaissance art. While an important painter, in his own day Dürer was renowned foremost for his graphic works. Artists across Europe admired and copied Dürer's innovative and powerful prints, ranging from religious and mythological scenes to maps and exotic animals.
Technically, Dürer's prints are exemplary for their detail and precision. The son of a goldsmith, Dürer was trained as a metalworker at a young age. He applied the same meticulous, exacting methods required in this delicate work to his woodcuts and engravings, notably the Four Horsemen of his Apocalypse series (1498), and his Knight, Death and Devil (1513).
Dürer's training also involved travel and study abroad. He went to Italy in 1494, and returned again in. Contact with Italian painters resonated deeply in his art. Influenced by Venetian artists, who were renowned for the richness of their palette, Dürer placed greater importance on color in his paintings. His Feast of the Rose Garlands (1506) removed any doubt that, as well as a master of prints, he was an accomplished painter.
Dürer was also a great admirer of Leonardo da Vinci. He was intrigued by the Italian master's studies of the human figure, and after 1506 applied and adapted Leonardo's proportions to his own figures, as is evident in his drawings. Later in his life, in the 1520's, he illustrated and wrote theoretical treatises instructing artists in perspective and proportion.
Dürer was a humanist and a creator. His awareness of his own role as an artist is apparent in his frontal, Christ-like Self Portrait (1500), just one of the many self portraits that he painted in his career. Dürer's earliest recognized work was a self-portrait painted at the age of thirteen.
Give Russian equivalents:innovative and powerful prints; an accomplished painter; theoretical treatises; applied Leonardo's proportions; earliest work recognized

Answer the questions:1) What was Dürer famous for in his own days?
2) The range of his prints was rather large, wasn’t it?
3) What and who influenced his art?
4) What Renaissance artist did he admire?
5) Why did he write theoretical treatises?
6) What was his earliest recognized work?
Thomas Cole (1801 – 1848)
Nationality: English
Movement: Hudson River School
Media: Painting
Thomas Cole, an outstanding Hudson River landscapist, was born in Lancashire, England. He was apprenticed to a textile designer and engraver before immigrating, with this family, to Philadelphia in 1819. He worked in Philadelphia as an engraver. The Cole family moved to Steubenville, Ohio, where he became an itinerant portrait painter for some years and then returned to study at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts where he was most influenced by the landscapes of Thomas Birch and Thomas Doughty. In 1825 Cole moved to New York City.
In New York Cole made his debut as a landscapist. His paintings of familiar American landscapes such as the Hudson River and the Catskill Mountains became very well known and popular. Three of his first paintings were purchased by well-known artists, which helped establish his reputation rapidly.
After a visit to Europe from 1829 to 1832, Cole settled in New York and began a large series of paintings that depicted the rise and fall of civilization. He began to combine his knowledge of European art with his natural impulse to portray nature as he saw it. He painted series of enormous allegorical significance: "The Course of Empire" (1836) and "The Voyage of Life" (1839) are good examples of these.
Being ill, depressed, and tortured, Thomas Cole spent the remainder of his life painting the romantic, realistic landscapes that are his greatest works. With their striking contrasts of light and shade, their inherent feeling of God's presence in nature, their exquisitely fine detail and warm color, they are the keystone of American landscape painting - honest, moving, and beautiful.

What are the most important facts of his biography?
Leonardo da Vinci was the embodiment of the “Renaissance man”, a man who had achieved mastery over all branches of art and science. He was a painter, sculptor, architect and engineer besides being a scholar in the natural sciences, medicine and philosophy. Leonardo is probably most famous for painting the Mona Lisa , which is one of the world’s best-known works of art.
Leonardo da Vinci was born on the 15th of April, 1452, as the illegitimate son of the notary Ser Piero di Antonio da Vinci and a peasant woman named Caterina, in a small town called Vinci, near Empoli, Tuscany. Although last names were already in use in Europe at the time, Leonardo never had one. His full name “Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci” means “Leonardo son of Piero from Vinci”.
The first four years of his life were spent in a village near Vinci with his mother. After 1457, he lived with his father’s family, which soon moved to Florence. Leonardo showed promise early on, with an innate talent in art and music. In 1467, at the age of 15, he became an apprentice to the Florentine painter and sculptor Andrea del Verrocchio, the foremost artist of his day. And he remained with Andrea del Verrocchio until 1480. His first known work, which he painted as an assistant, is the angel kneeling on the left in Verrocchio’s picture the Baptism of Christ . Verrocchio was so impressed by his pupil’s genius that he gave up painting.
Other surviving works from this period include Madonna with the Carnation , Madonna Benois , Portrait of Ginevra de Benci . Leonardo received a commission to paint an altar piece St. Hieronymus , which was never finished, and to create a large panel Adoration of the Magi , which was not finished either. Unfortunately, Leonardo’s tendency to leave work unfinished was as characteristic of him as his artistic genius.
In 1482, Leonardo moved to Milan. He hoped to obtain the patronage of the ruler of the city, Ludovico Sforza, also known as Ludovico il Moro (“Ludovico the Dark”) for his swarthy features. Leonardo offered his services as a military engineer, sculptor and painter. Ludovico accepted him gladly and financed an independent workshop for the artist. Leonardo stayed in Ludovico’s service for 18 years.
In 1483, he got a commission to make a large altar piece The Virgin of the Rocks . Working as court painter and sculptor, he created the Portrait of Cecilia Gallerani (Lady with an Ermine) , Portrait of an Unknown Woman (La Belle Ferroniere) , several small Madonnas, such as Madonna Litta . During this time, Leonardo painted the Last Supper for the Dominican Monastery, which is considered to be the first work of the High Renaissance and is one of his defining works.
In the mid - to late - 1480s, when Leonardo was establishing himself as a court artist, he started his scientific studies in botany, anatomy, medicine, architecture, military engineering, geography and many, many other subjects. We know about his studies from the enormous amount of drawings and sketches that he left behind. He worked on the Treatise on Painting, a collection of practical and theoretical instructions for painters, throughout his entire adult life.
In 1499 Leonardo left Milan and moved on to Venice where he served as a military engineer. In 1500, he returned to the city of his childhood, Florence. There he worked on a commission for a monastery, which was probably Virgin and Child with St. Anne . In 1502, he was employed by General Cesare Borgia as an architect and military engineer. He prepared maps for Borgia’s future military campaigns.
In 1503, Leonardo came back to Florence. He was commissioned by Francesco del Giocondo, a friend of Leonardo’s father, to paint a portrait of his wife, Lisa Gherardini del Giocondo. The result was the Mona Lisa (La Gioconda) , which became one of the most famous pictures in the world, although the portrait was not finished in time and never delivered to the client.
From 1506 to 1512, Leonardo lived mostly in Milan under the patronage of Charles d’Amboise, the French governor of the city. During these years he created Leda and the Swan and the second version of The Virgin of the Rocks . He also continued his anatomical studies.
