Slide 1

Khokhloma is a strange, cheerful word. You can hear laughter and delighted OH in it! And enthusiastic AH!

Slide 2

Fairy tale - How did this amazing Khokhloma art begin? Old people tell different things. They say that one and a half thousand years ago a cheerful little man, a craftsman, settled in the forest beyond the Volga. He built a hut, built a table, built a bench, and cut out wooden dishes. I cooked wheat porridge for myself and didn’t forget to sprinkle some millet for the birds. One day the Heat bird flew to his doorstep. He treated her. The Firebird touched the cup of porridge with its golden wing, and the cup became golden. This, they say, is where gold utensils came from in Rus'. This is, of course, a fairy tale. And the beginning of gold painting dates back to ancient masters - icon painters. They painted their icons on wooden boards, which they covered with linseed oil and heated in an oven. Then they began to gild dishes using this method. Since ancient times, dishes have been made in the Trans-Volga forest villages of Vinogradovo, Semino, Kulichino, Razvodino, Khryashi. But its name is not Vinogradovskaya or Kulichinskaya, but Khokhloma. Why? Here's why: Knock-knock! - loaded carts roll along the winding Uzolye river. Knock-knock! - the wooden product rattles. Vinogradovsky and Ravodinsky masters are taking him to the nearby ancient village of Khokhloma. From there, bowls and spoons fly like firebirds around the fairs: - Who needs dishes for porridge, okroshka? A wonderful dish, yes cups, spoons! - Where are the dishes from? - Golden Khokhloma has come to you!

Slide 3

Legend Once upon a time there lived a master of icons who painted icons very elegantly, but the soul of the artist was in nature, living life. The master settled in the remote Kerzhen forests and began to engage in crafting: making bowls, kitchen utensils, decorating them with types of nature - flowers, branches, leaves, grass, berries, fish, birds. The fame of the master quickly spread across the earth, and he began to have followers of his craft. Such is the legend.

Slide 4

Khokhloma Khokhloma painting, Russian folk art; arose in the 17th century. The name comes from the village of Khokhloma. Decorative painting on wooden products (dishes, furniture) is distinguished by a subtle floral pattern, made in red and black (less often green) tones and gold on a golden background. /BES, 1991.T.2-768 p., ill./

Slide 5

Khokhloma Khokhloma dishes create the feeling of a hot flame. She is practical and elegant. She amazes with her amazing beauty. It is no coincidence that Khokhloma is so loved not only by tourists, but also by Russians themselves. The art of Ancient Rus' with its characteristic original elements is now gradually returning to fashion. Khokhloma is fashionable and stylish again!

Slide 6

From the history of Khokhloma painting Near Nizhny Novgorod, among the Trans-Volga villages, lies the large ancient village of Khokhloma, located on the banks of the Volga. Residents of the village have long been engaged in various crafts, including the manufacture of wooden utensils and household utensils. Merchants from all over Rus' and even foreigners came to the Volga fairs. Therefore, Volga residents made things for sale. Their wooden dishes, painted in red, black and gold colors, decorated with stems, flowers and berries, were in great demand. Golden Khokhloma was distributed throughout Russia. It also reached Central Asia, Turkey, India and Europe, earning worldwide fame.

Slide 7

Colors of Khokhloma The Khokhloma pattern from ancient times attracted attention with its colorfulness and brightness. The peculiarity of Khokhloma’s drawing is that he is always depicted on a black background. Despite this, the Khokhloma design looks festive thanks to the red and gold patterns that are applied over a black background. The traditions of Khokhloma drawing came to us in folk art with decorations of ancient Russian handwritten books and icons. Khokhloma artisans painted their products with only three colors. On any item decorated with the Khokhloma pattern, you can see red berries scattered on a black background. The bright spots of the berries seem so juicy and stand out so clearly against the black that they look like real juicy fruits of sour lingonberries, rowan berries or cranberries. The berries are decorated with golden stems and petals. This choice is not accidental. Previously, red was considered a festive color and could not be seen often in everyday life. And the golden painting was an expensive decoration - not every bride could boast of such a dowry, and not every family could find a painted Khokhloma spoon.

Slide 8

Drawing of Khokhloma There are no genre scenes in the painting of Khokhloma dishes. Artists paint floral patterns: leaves, curved twigs, strawberries, raspberries, mountain ash, flower hearts. The patterns either stretch upward, then run in a circle, or twist. This variety of ornaments reveals the imagination of artists. But the most favorite motif remains the “grass” ornament, curved, a bush or a single blade of grass. “Grass” is usually written in red or black; it is an obligatory element of Khokhloma painting. The most intricate patterns are called “curls”. The grass here turns into curly curls, similar to the feathers of a firebird. “Kudrins” are always written in gold. Flowering bushes and fruits in Rus' were considered a wish for goodness and prosperity, which is why there are so many of them in Khokhloma painting. Artists do not draw clear contours in their patterns in advance, and this requires great skill, precision of hand and eye.

The branch smoothly bent and wrapped itself in a ring. Next to the three-fingered leaf is a scarlet Strawberry. She shone, rose, filled herself with sweet juice. And the grass is like a fringe, Golden Khokhloma!

Slide 10

Khokhloma ornament Khokhloma ornament is amazing. It is distinguished by a richness of honey-golden colors. The ornament of Khokhloma painting is very diverse and decorative. Artists convey the beauty of our lives, which we, ordinary people, sometimes do not notice. Bright autumn with its bright foliage, colorful flowers, numerous colorful berries. Ornaments are applied in red and black colors. The leaves turn out juicy, the tips of the leaves are thin, the berries on the stems are ripe and sweet, and therefore the designs turn out light, graceful and lively. It happens that masters of Khokhloma painting paint flowers, birds and fish between the grass. Khokhloma masters subordinate painting to the shape of the object (bowl, ladle, vase, box, spoon). They decorate the products with elegant paintings, and this beauty brings joy, happiness from what we see and peace to our home. Khokhloma craftsmen not only make individual dishes, but also paint furniture for children. Which is admired not only by children in their bedrooms and kindergartens, but also by adults who are amazed by the craftsmen of Khokhloma painting.

Slide 13

The production process The production process of various products painted with Khokhloma (spoons, cups, trays, samovars, furniture and other utensils) has not changed since its inception, but still, thanks to modern materials and some modified production principles, Khokhloma products have become more durable and durable . The process is as follows. First, the product itself is turned, which turns out to be white. After this, the craftsmen prime the product, that is, cover it with a clay solution, after which the craftsmen tin it with tin, silver or aluminum. Then the product becomes ready for painting, i.e. shiny and smooth. Next, the painted products are cured by oven drying. The last step is varnishing or drying at high temperature, it depends on the varnish. The resulting finished crafts are resistant to both heat and cold. They are graceful, beautiful, light as a spring breeze and bright as a summer ray of sunshine.

Slide 14

Slide 15

Spoons Semenov can be considered one of the largest specialized places for the production of Khokhloma spoons. The Khokhloma spoon is one of the most popular souvenirs from Russia. This product is made to solve the problems of using home-made dishes in everyday life. The compositional ornament of the spoon is a snaking stem covered with grass, where each branch ends in rich berries. An airy, sonorous, painted spoon pleases the eye and will be a reliable helper at home, outdoors, and in the countryside. Spoons are mainly processed by hand. Spoons are made mainly from aspen, linden, birch, and expensive ones are made from palm and maple. There are different types of spoons, for example: thin, half-bass, jam spoon, souvenir spoon, children's spoon, salad spoon. The Khokhloma spoon is undoubtedly in great demand, and craftsmen of national art are developing all sorts of configurations and ornaments.

Slide 16

Boxes When the craftsmen began to work on wide surfaces of a golden background, the inherent tendency of Russian ornament to the breadth of writing was expressed, which is clearly visible on the boxes painted under Khokhloma. A bold brush stroke is made one of the main components of the grass pattern. And this way and that, combining elongated strokes of black and red paint, large and small, thick and airy, the craftsmen created melodies of flowers, grass, trees and bushes with a luxurious curly crown. The pattern was complemented by the melody of flowers and berries, applied using a porous sponge or swab. The weightlessness and naturalness of the craftsman’s handwriting becomes a measure of the artistic merits of the work. The implementation of hand painting with a brush fostered among virtuosos the habit of easily changing the ornament. The specifics of herbal patterns were also influenced by the shape of the dishes. During the work, for any type of product in Khokhloma there were standard painting compositions, often corresponding to the nature of their size and shape.

Slide 17

Products A characteristic feature of Khokhloma products is the traditional design: patterned fine painting of climbing plants and berries. Khokhloma painting is found on almost all household and kitchen items. Samovars and spoons, tubs and bowls - products that were used by the Russian peasant family and which were always at hand of a caring housewife - they became the subject of folk art. Khokhloma became famous for its painted objects not so long ago. It was in this way that products began to be decorated only in the 17th century - perhaps it was then that expensive and rare paints were brought in that did not wear off over time. Now Khokhloma painting has become a forgotten history, to which they return to please foreign and out-of-town guests rather than to remember their origins. The preciousness of Khokhloma jewelry is no longer a rarity - almost anyone who is interested in the culture of the Russian people can buy it. In the Nizhny Novgorod region, Khokhloma products still remain a sought-after product - not far from the village of Khokhloma, there are two craft factories that are trying to preserve and pass on the tradition of the Russian people. A tradition that can neither be forgotten nor bought

From the history…

Khokhloma wood painting, Russian folk art. Occurred in the 2nd half. 17th century on the territory of the modern Koverninsky district of the Gorky region; The name of the fishery was given by the trade village. Khokhloma of the same region. Khokhloma painting is characterized by an original technique of painting wood in a golden color without the use of gold.


How the dishes were created.

Turned wooden products (“linen”) are primed with liquidly diluted clay, locally with vapor, to close all pores, dried in an oven, and covered with drying oil. This is done several times. The last time the drying oil is not completely dried, it is brought to a “weak tack”.



What is Golden Khokhloma?

Golden Khokhloma - these are fiery colors of patterns that are made up of various curls of herbs, flowers, berries, and delight us with their unique solemn beauty and richness of imagination.


Two types of painting.

« riding» - red and black on a gold background;

The letter is called horse writing because the gilded surface is not painted over, but a drawing is applied on it, along the top, with rich strokes. And they call the variants of such painting - “like a leaf”, “like a berry”.



Background letter.

« under the background » - golden silhouette pattern on a colored background.


Painting "under the background", or background writing, is a unique painting technique. On the half (silver background) the contours of future leaves, flowers, berries, birds and other elements of the painting are applied. The master felt the shape of the object, thought about the drawing and already unmistakably knows where to place what. The space along the outside of the contour lines is painted over with black or red paint. The background is "filled".

After drying and varnishing, as a result of which the “silver” turns into “gold”, the artist begins to color the berries, other elements of the design, and animations. And in the free space of the background, where required, he will draw grass .


ABC of Khokhloma painting.

Smoothly climbing stems of grass - grass painting or grass.

Small elements - berries, leaves, flowers .


Where did this painting come from?

Art historians believe that the origins of the ornamentation of Khokhloma painting with its unique combination of colors: bright scarlet cinnabar, black and gold, curly branches with clusters of berries surrounded by “herbs” should be sought in the ancient Russian decorative culture of the 15th-16th centuries. It was in these centuries that similar color combinations were found in frescoes and icons, in the design of books, the covers of which were decorated with patterns similar to Khokhloma.

Golden Khokhloma is one of the ancient, original Russian folk crafts, which for centuries has shaped the way of life and lifestyle of entire generations and is an integral part of Russian culture.

A special feature of Khokhloma craft is the production of gilded wooden utensils without the use of precious metal and a unique herbal painting.

The capital of Golden Khokhloma is rightfully considered the city of Semenov, located 80 kilometers from Nizhny Novgorod.

The symbol of Khokhloma painting was the fiery firebird, decorated with bright flowers.



More recently, in the villages of the Nizhny Novgorod region, one could hear the legend about how “Khokhloma” came to the Volga land and where it got its fiery colors.

They say that in ancient times there lived a master icon painter in Moscow. The king highly valued his skill and generously rewarded him for his work. The master loved his craft, but most of all he loved free life, so one day he secretly left the royal court and moved to the deep Kerzhen forests.

He built himself a hut and began to do the same thing. He dreamed of an art that would become familiar to everyone, like a simple Russian song, and so that the beauty of his native land would be reflected in it. This is how the first Khokhloma cups appeared, decorated with lush flowers and thin branches.


The fame of the great master spread throughout the land. People came from everywhere to admire his skill. Many people built huts here and settled nearby.

Finally, the master’s fame reached the formidable sovereign, and he ordered a detachment of archers to find the fugitive and bring him. But popular rumor flew faster than the archers’ feet.

The master learned about his misfortune, gathered his fellow villagers and revealed to them the secrets of his craft. And in the morning, when the royal envoys entered the village, everyone saw the miracle artist’s hut burning with a bright flame.

The hut burned down, and no matter how hard they looked for the master himself, he was nowhere to be found. Only its colors remained on the ground, which seemed to have absorbed both the heat of the flame and the blackness of the ashes.



Stages of production of Khokhloma painting products

At the first stage, a blank of the future product, called “linen,” is turned on a lathe or manually hollowed out from well-dried wood (alder, linden, birch).

Khokhloma ladle-swan (“linen”). Material - linden.


Clay is rubbed into the workpiece and covered with drying oil several times, dried at a temperature of 60-70 degrees. While the top layer of drying oil has not dried, the products are rubbed with aluminum powder.

Khokhloma swan ladle after tinning operation.


Varnish coating

Painted items are varnished two or three times with intermediate hardening at a temperature of 120-130 degrees. Thus, silver turns into “gold”.

Ready product

In addition to black, red and gold, green and yellow, orange and brown are used.

  • red is beautiful. The original Russian color of life, fire, fertility, health. Particularly significant in folk beliefs are the red thread, red cloth, and red egg, which are endowed with protective properties and are used as a talisman.
  • golden - Sun Glow
  • black is the color of earth, abundance and wisdom
  • green - the color of grass, blooming nature and eternal youth

A pattern of flowers, herbs and berries is called a floral pattern. Khokhloma artists say: “I paint with floral patterns.” But there are several types of this ornament in Khokhloma painting.

The most beloved and oldest of them is “grass ornament”, or simply “grass”. These are elongated, slightly curved blades of grass, written in groups of three, five or more - in a bush.
