Legends and myths about rowan.
In one of the old English legends There is a story about how a certain young hero, who went on a long voyage, cannot return to his native castle for a long time, captured by a witch, because the evil sorceress every time creates storms on the way of his ship. And only then does the young man manage to break through the magical obstacles and free the castle, when a wise man prompts him to replace the keel of the ship from oak to rowan, for evil witchcraft dissipates where the wood of this tree, beloved by many peoples, appears...
According to another legend, a wife turned into a rowan tree, at whose feet her beloved husband died. Evil people they wanted to separate them, but they could not achieve this either with the help of gold, or with the help of power and weapons, or even with the help of death. Their life was wonderful, and their death was also wonderful. Kissed in last time husband, called faithful wife to the Lord so that he would protect her from the power of murderers, and at that very moment she became a mountain ash on his grave. Its fruits became red like blood shed in the name of love.
There is an Irish legend about Fraorte, in which the magic rowan berries, which are guarded by a dragon, could replace nine meals, and in addition were an excellent remedy for healing the wounded and added an extra year to a person’s life. If we turn to the legend of Diarmoyd and Grainne, then even more, it is said that rowan berries, like apples and nuts, were considered the food of the gods.
They tell a legend about the goddess Freya (the goddess of love and beauty among the inhabitants of Asgard), who had a necklace made from rowan fruits, which protected her from various evil eyes and damage.
The northerners lined their homes and temples with rowan trees, thus protecting buildings from lightning strikes. And almost everywhere the tree itself was dedicated to the local thunder god. Among the Slavs it was the tree of Perun; the Scandinavian Thor also did not disdain the mountain ash. Among the Scandinavians, rowan protected not only from lightning, but also from hostile magic. The Karelian-Finnish deity Tara, the same thunderer as his consonant Thor, also received a rowan tree as a dedication. Among the Celts, rowan was considered an analogue of Greek ambrosia. Its red berries, guarded by a green dragon, were called the food of the gods.
There is a holiday of rowan - this is the Day of the Holy Cross, or “Rowan Day”. Celebrated on May 3 or May 13. On this day, rowan branches were brought into the house to protect the house from all kinds of adversity. Rowan name days were also celebrated in some regions. These holidays took place four times a year: in the spring, when they celebrated the end of plowing and the opening of the rowan leaf; in the summer, when the sowing season ended and the rowan blossomed; in the fall, when the harvest was completed and the onset of the new year was celebrated, then the rowan ripened; and in winter, when they were preparing for the new season. All these holidays were accompanied by a special bell ringing, which was popularly called “Rowan Ring”.

Materials and equipment: Demo material: Easel, illustrations of "rowan", a sprig of rowan. Handout: Album sheet, watercolor paints, simple graphite pencil, brushes, rags.
Progress of the lesson
Educator:
Guys, today we will take a closer look at the amazing and extraordinary beautiful tree. It decorates the streets of our city.
Mystery:
It turned green in the spring,
Sunbathed in the summer
I put it on in the fall
Red corals.
What kind of tree? (Children's answers). That's right, it's a rowan.
And here's one folk sign associated with rowan: There are a lot of rowan in the forest - autumn will be rainy, if there are few - dry. Have you noticed, guys, that the rowan trees that grow on our site have a lot of ripe clusters this fall that adorn the branches of the trees. And remember, there was a lot of rain. True sign. Yes, guys? Can you explain why and why rowan is considered a beauty? What do you think is beautiful about this tree? (Children's answers).
Educator:
Guys, look at the rowan branch. What color are the berries? What shape are they? What shape are the leaves? How are the berries arranged? (Children's answers)
Now listen to the poem by V. Rozhdestvensky:
I knew you, my rowan,
You sat on the outskirts of the village,
Above the gray barn roof
It grew under the northern sky.
You were tormented by bad weather,
And you, in spite of all the sorrows
Grew and grew stronger year after year,
Looking into the lake glass.
Educator: There are a lot of rowan trees in our city. In autumn, streets, courtyards and squares are decorated with rowan beads. But did people plant rowan trees in our city just for beauty? (Children's answers). Birds (namely titmice, starlings and even crows) feed on rowan berries. Bears and moose also love berries. Rowan is friends with everyone, tries to feed everyone, and if anyone gets sick, he will heal them. And although rowan fruits taste bitter, they are still good.
Berries are not sweetness
But it's a joy to the eye
And decoration for the gardens,
And a treat for friends.
Educator:
And now you guys and I will try to draw a rowan branch. Think about the placement of a rowan sprig on a piece of paper. Where do we depict it? (Children's answers). Yes, that's right, in the center of the sheet.
And before we start work, let's stretch our fingers and relax at the same time.
Finger gymnastics (Winter walk):
(Bend your fingers one at a time)
One two three four five
(“Walk” along the table with your index and middle fingers)
We came to the yard for a walk.
(We “make” a lump with two palms)
They sculpted a snow woman,
(Crushing movements with all fingers)
The birds were fed crumbs,
(We lead index finger right hand on the palm of the left hand)
Then we rode down the hill,
(Put your palms on the table, first one side, then the other)
And they were also lying in the snow.
(Shake off our palms)
Everyone came home covered in snow.
(Moves with an imaginary spoon, hands under cheeks)
We ate soup and went to bed.
Okay, now let's get to work.
Explanation and demonstration of the order of drawing on a pedagogical sketch.
Stage 1. Draw the main branch diagonally across the sheet with a pencil. The branch will hold leaves and a bunch of rowan berries.
Stage 2. At an angle from the branch in one direction from above and below, we draw lines on which there will be leaves. We don't draw leaves.
Stage 3. From the branch vertically downwards we draw a line - a branch with berries. The berries are held on a branch-tassel. Invite the children to place their hand down with their fingers and see how the fingers are attached to the palm. Compare with rowan brush. Draw a rowan brush. We don't draw berries.
Stage 4. Color the drawing. Drawing leaves.
Stage 5. We print the berries with a brush.
Independent work of children. Helping children with difficulties. Posture correction.
Summary of the lesson. Analysis of finished works.
Questions: Which tree branch did we draw today? Do you like your drawings?
Educator: Are you tired, guys? Let's stretch our arms and legs. Let's get up and stretch.
Physical education lesson “Rowanka”
There is a rowan tree on the hill, stretching - hands up.
Keeps your back straight and level.
It’s not easy for her to live in the world - Rotate her body left and right.
The wind is twisting, the wind is twisting.
But the mountain ash only bends, tilts to the sides.
He is not sad - he laughs.
The free wind blows menacingly. Children wave their hands, imitating the wind.
For a young mountain ash.
Children admire the painted rowan branches. The teacher reads a poem.
Autumn
Our whole poor garden is crumbling,
Yellowed leaves are flying in the wind;
Only in the distance they show off, there, at the bottom of the valleys,
Brushes of bright red withering rowan trees.
Educator: Well done guys, you did a great job. It seems as if Autumn herself visited us and left usyour colorful trail. And your mountain ash turned out like a real one!
Master class with step by step photos drawing for older preschoolers "Rowan"

To cultivate curiosity and the desire to convey the beauty of our native nature.
Tools and materials:
Landscape paper (A4), graphic materials. You can use wax, pastel or gel crayons, watercolors or colored pencils. The softer the material, the brighter the pattern will be.
Preliminary work:
View photos with rowan
This mountain ash grows in our kindergarten.
Riddles about rowan:
The dress was lost, but the buttons remained.

Sunbathed in the summer
I put it on in the fall
Red corals.
***
Berries are not sweetness
But it's a joy to the eye
And decoration for the gardens,
And a treat for friends.
***
Autumn has come to our garden,
The red torch was lit.
There are blackbirds and starlings scurrying about here.
And, noisily, they peck at him.
***
In haymaking it’s bitter,
And in the cold it’s sweet,
What kind of berry?
***
Flowers for bees and bumblebees,
Fruits for jays and thrushes,
And the curly branch -
Place by the gazebo.
Progress of the master class:
1. Draw a branch at the top of the leaf. We thicken its beginning.
2. On our branch there will be two tassels of berries and two or three leaves. The pupils of the preparatory groups decide for themselves. In older groups, the teacher draws the branch. You can also take up this topic in middle groups. Then a branch and leaves with berries are first drawn, and the children only color them.
3. Rowan berries are also called baskets. And they are collected in quite large groups. First you need to draw a lot of thin branches. They diverge down and to the sides from the main branch.
4. But, since there are a lot of berries in the basket, we add branches to each branch.
5. The next stage is painting the “first tier” berries in red. They are located one after another, like a caterpillar. Each circle is pressed against the adjacent circle.
6. Under the first tier of berries we draw the second. It's shorter than the first one. And each berry is also pressed against neighboring berries.
7. Now the most interesting and crucial moment is coloring the berries. In this case, the chalk, for example, needs to be taken closer to the point so as not to break it (after all, the child will definitely want to press harder and draw a line brighter).
The main task of the draftsman is to carefully, but quickly enough, move the chalk or pencil in a circle, gradually narrowing it. We call this technique the "tangle". Drawing rowan berries in this sense is a unique opportunity for the development of fine motor skills.
Of course, it will not be possible to paint every berry without gaps. We will get the “live” highlight we need.
8. Before drawing, we examine a rowan leaf plucked from a tree or an already dried one, and together with the children we analyze the location of individual leaves. We draw inclined “guides” - the centers, veins of the leaves. They seem to be pressed against the main rod. At the end there is one leaf, and the rest are paired.
9. When coloring the leaves, we draw oval balls. The lines are also gradually narrowing. The edges of rowan leaves are covered with small teeth. But you don’t have to draw them.
The brightest option is bright red or even crimson berries and green leaves. But in nature there are, of course, others color combinations. On tinted sheets of dark shades (gray, dark blue, even black), you can use pastels and yellow leaves depict with red berries.
10. Make the background blue or blue. Draw flat light movements, increasing pressure on the free space of the drawing.
11. Black or brown We emphasize the shadows, highlight the centers of the berries, and make the pattern more contrasting.

ADDITIONAL MATERIAL (introduction to rowan)
(material from the Internet)
Rowan is a unique tree. It can withstand frosts down to -50. Where the climate is mild, rowan can reach a height of 15 meters, and where it is cold - no more than 50 centimeters. The rowan fruit, it turns out, is not a berry at all. In its structure it is close to an ordinary apple, only small.
There are many vitamins in rowan. Due to this, rowan fights not only viruses, but also bacteria. After frost, rowan becomes sweet
Rowan grows in Europe, Asia and North America. In total, scientists have counted more than a hundred species of red rowan. In Russia - about thirty.
Rowan is a tree that brings many benefits to humans. Rowan flowers are loved by bees, and honey obtained from rowan has anti-inflammatory properties and improves immunity. Rowan berries can be eaten both fresh and cooked. Rowan berries are used to make compotes, jams, jellies, marmalade, jelly, and jams. Rowan berries are dried and soaked. Wood produces durable and beautiful wooden products, including furniture. The name of rowan has a very simple origin: from the word “ripple”. Indeed, in the forest, rowan fruits are noticeable from afar. And their inclusions significantly decorate the forest.
Rowan berries (like viburnum) are considered a symbol of family happiness. They are laid out on the windowsill or between the frames. It is believed that as long as the berries retain their color, the family union is not in danger.
Rowan can be found in the patterns of embroidered shirts, towels and tablecloths. Rowan is very loved by the masters of Khokhloma painting. A painted and embroidered rowan, just like a real one, plays the role of a talisman of family happiness. And how touching the first rowan beads look, strung on a thread by a little girl!
In the PEDCOPILE you can find a story about the mountain ash of Egorova Galina Vasilievna
Drawing: Bunches of mountain ash Purpose: - selection of image methods and visual material depending on the transmitted image. Objectives: -teach children to pass characteristics rowan branches: shape, structure of branches and leaves, berries, their color and shape; consolidate the ability to beautifully place a branch on a sheet of paper; introduce a new technique drawing - poking; continue to develop your finger painting skills; bring up aesthetic taste and accuracy in performing work.
Previous work: observation of autumn phenomena in nature; looking at bushes and trees painted in autumn, looking at bunches of rowan berries. Materials for work: gouache, brushes, sheets of paper, pokes, napkins, cups of water, glue stick, picture with a sprig of rowan. Vocabulary work: Bunches of rowan, nomadic birds.
The lesson begins with a poem: Into the autumn forest, for a walk, I invite you to go. More interesting adventures We guys can't find it. Stand behind each other. Hold hands tightly. Along the paths, along the paths. Let's go for a walk in the forest. Maybe we will collect leaves in the autumn forest?
Didactic game“Good-bad” Didactic game “Good-bad” Autumn Good Bad - beautiful colorful leaves; -leaf fall; -harvesting; -collection of gifts of nature; - some birds stay for the winter and delight us with their singing and chirping - it rains often; -gets cold; - animals are preparing for winter; -trees become bare; -Birds fly south
Sequence of drawing: Sequence of drawing: 1.Draw a twig; 2.Draw the leaves symmetrically to each other; 3.Draw a bunch on which the berries are held; 4.Draw the berries by dipping your index finger into the gouache and then onto a sheet of paper; 5.Draw the “eyes” of the berry with a poke; 6. Let's draw reverse side poking the veins of the leaves; 7.Glue the bullfinch near the berries.
