5. AN EDIBLE PAINTING

6. A WALL AS A CANVAS

A. For most of us a typewriter is a relic of the past. But for Keira Rathborne, it is a means to create really cool art. The 25-year-old graduate spends up to 90 hours creating each masterpiece, working at various letters and punctuation marks thousands and thousands of times to get the right image. Keira’s drawings range from beautiful landscapes to famous celebrities. Her favourite key for buildings and views is dashes and apostrophes, while for portraits she prefers brackets. Now she can type-draw almost anything by just tapping with one finger – quite amazing!

B. For most part, elementary school student Solveig is just like any other 10-year-old. She loves to play with Barbies, ride her bike, and paint. However, unlike other kids her age, she doesn’t paint on a piece of paper or even a canvas – she paints on street walls! Solveig started her graffiti paintings two years ago, when she saw some other people doing it and thought it looked fun. Now she is known as the “Picasso of Street Painting”. In last two years, she has created 20 colourful, larger-than-life paintings. She has been recently invited by one of London’s leading newspapers, The Sun, to create something special for them.

C. It took 10,000 pieces of pasta, countless hours of gluing and a huge backache – but the result looked good enough to eat and almost as good as the original Mona Lisa. Prudence Emma Statie, who created it, spent two weeks searching for different kinds of pasta which she arranged to capture every line of Mona Lisa’s smiling face. The brown, yellow and green shades of pasta almost match the colors of the real painting by Leonardo da Vinci. Ms. Statie, a food artist, said that this was the hardest food creation she had ever made, because she had to glue each piece of dry pasta to a wooden board.

D. For the past few months, residents of the town of Stourbridge in the United Kingdom have been waking up to a pleasant surprise. One day they found empty milk bottles with beautiful farm animals cut into the glass on their doorsteps. However, just like Santa, nobody had seen or known who this amazing artist was until now. Charlotte Hughes-Martin, a 30-year-old artist, finally confessed to being the secret “Santa”. Charlotte, who carves her creations in a studio at a former glass factory, said she was motivated by the desire to show people how even ordinary everyday items can be turned into beautiful pieces of art.

E. There are numerous amazing architectural designs but none is as creative, and unusual as Bulgaria’s Snail House! The house designed by local architect Simeon Simeonovo looks as though the mollusk is crawling on the street’s sidewalk, except for the fact, that it is a little larger and more colourful than the real one. At first glance it may look just like a decorative structure, but a closer examination reveals some amazing features. The bee on top of the house is a chimney, and the snail horns act as night lights. The mouth-shaped door with red lips will bring a smile on the visitor’s face.

1. Read the text, then match statements 1–6 to paragraphs A–E. One statement is extra. Complete the table below.

1. creating a mollusk-shaped residential area.

Для большинства из нас пишущая машинка — это пережиток прошлого. Но для Киры Ратборн это средство создания действительно крутого искусства. 25-летняя выпускница тратит до 90 часов на создание каждого шедевра, работая над различными буквами и знаками препинания тысячи и тысячи раз, чтобы получить правильное изображение. Рисунки Киры варьируются от красивых пейзажей до знаменитостей. Ее любимые клавиши для зданий и видов — тире и апострофы, а для портретов она предпочитает скобки. Теперь она может напечатать практически все, просто нажав одним пальцем — просто потрясающе!

По большей части ученица начальной школы Сольвейг такая же, как и любой другой 10-летний ребенок. Она любит играть с Барби, кататься на велосипеде и рисовать.

However, unlike other kids her age, she doesn't paint on a piece of paper or even a canvas — she paints on street walls! Solveig started her graffiti paintings two years ago, when she saw some other people doing it and thought it looked fun. Now she is known as the "Picasso of Street Paint-ing". In last two years, she has created 20 colourful, larger-than-life paintings. She has been recently invited by one of London's leading newspapers, The Sun, to create something special for them.
Однако, в отличие от других детей ее возраста, она не рисует на листе бумаги или даже холсте — она рисует на уличных стенах! Сольвейг начала рисовать граффити два года назад, когда увидела, как это делают другие люди, и подумала, что это выглядит забавно. Теперь ее называют «Пикассо уличной живописи». За последние два года она создала 20 красочных, больше, чем натуральная картина. Недавно ее пригласила одна из ведущих лондонских газет The Sun, чтобы она создала для них что-то особенное.

Потребовалось 10000 кусочков пасты, бесчисленные часы склеивания и огромная боль в спине — но результат выглядел достаточно вкусным, чтобы его можно было съесть, и почти таким же хорошим, как оригинальная Мона Лиза. Пруденс Эмма Стати, которая его создала, потратила две недели на поиски разных видов пасты, которые она разложила так, чтобы запечатлеть каждую линию улыбающегося лица Моны Лизы. Коричневые, желтые и зеленые оттенки пасты почти соответствуют цветам настоящей картины Леонардо да Винчи. Г-жа Стати, фуд-художница, сказала, что это было самое сложное кулинарное творение, которое она когда-либо делала, потому что ей пришлось приклеивать каждый кусочек сухой пасты к деревянной доске.

В течение последних нескольких месяцев жители города Стаурбридж в Соединенном Королевстве просыпались с приятным сюрпризом. Однажды они обнаружили на пороге пустые молочные бутылки с красивыми сельскохозяйственными животными, вырезанными на стекле. Однако, как и в случае с Сантой, никто не видел и не знал, кто этот удивительный художник, до сих пор. Шарлотта Хьюз-Мартин, 30-летняя художница, наконец призналась, что она тайный «Санта». Шарлотта, которая вырезает свои творения в студии на бывшем стекольном заводе, сказала, что ею двигало желание показать людям, как даже обычные повседневные предметы можно превратить в прекрасные произведения искусства.

Существует множество удивительных архитектурных проектов, но ни один из них не является таким креативным и необычным, как Дом-улитка в Болгарии! Дом, спроектированный местным архитектором Симеоном Симеоновым, выглядит так, будто моллюск ползет по тротуару улицы, за исключением того, что он немного больше и красочнее настоящего. На первый взгляд это может показаться просто декоративной конструкцией, но при более внимательном рассмотрении обнаруживаются некоторые удивительные особенности. Пчела на крыше дома это дымоход, а рожки улитки выполняют функцию ночников. Дверь в форме рта с красными губами вызовет улыбку на лице посетителя.
