Verbal self-portrait: Nastya Zadorozhnaya

A lot of nonsense is written about her in the media, the artist assures. Therefore, WomanHit compiled a portrait of the star based on her own words.

I am the way I am. I never play anything, I'm the same girl as in life. There was no Nastya Zadorozhnaya project. Everything was built on live emotions, because people feel live creativity first of all. I have been in a creative search for a long time.

I am very captivated by the scene. This is where I get the most emotions. You give everything you have on stage. No film process will replace it. And even though I do not have the richest theatrical experience, but on stage you feel the audience live.

I never had ideals. Of course, there are creative people in my life whom I respect. They are a guiding light for me. For example, the standard artist for me is the American musician Sting. His main advantage is that despite the fact that he is already many years old, despite the amount of merit, he still continues to study. He recruits an amazing team of people, finds them somewhere. It was a pleasure for me to work with Tatyana Vasilyeva. She is an amazing artist. As a partner, I was pleased to work with Oleg Fomin in the play "A Cruel Lesson". I want to single out the actress of the Dzhigarkhanyan theater Elena Medvedeva. We played with her in Dangerous Liaisons. On stage, she exudes crazy magnetism, and I feel very good with her.

Dad is a military man, and mom worked at the Zhukovsky Academy. We came to Moscow from the Russian North when I was three years old. I was born in the small military town of Fedotovo. The town was blooming, around the forest, we went for mushrooms, for fish. I remember how a wild queue lined up behind the rolls. The place radiated positive energy. My mother is very strong and always set some goals for herself. She supported me in my aspirations, but dad - not so much. Mom spent everything on me as an only child. I remember when I went to the music school. Dad thought I was doing garbage and wanted to send me to law school. I was preparing to enter the music academy for music theory. I had an excellent ear, I learned to play the piano. My boys copied dictations, chords, intervals. But once I pricked myself, caught an infection, my finger was swollen to the size of a “ball”, so I had to forget about music for a while. I flew out for a year. And suddenly I, a schoolgirl, was simultaneously taken to star in the television series "Simple Truths". It was there, on the set, that it became clear to me that I wanted to go to a theater university.

My mother is such a family boss. She loves to tell everyone what and who needs it. And how not to. Even today, she still makes attempts to control my life. Mom loves to give advice - she helped everyone all her life. And I must say that she believed that I would achieve something. And this is not easy - you are out of millions and you will achieve something. It's wildly hard, but my mother's faith in me was very supportive

I really wanted to be successful. I feel like it was built into me. People look at you and see some potential in you. 9 people believed in me at once during the casting 13 years ago. Then it was somewhat more difficult to "break into the people" than today. It all started with the Orlyonok camp. Later, on MTV, I met Peter Sheksheev, my future producer, with whom we work to this day.

When you wake up famous When I first heard my song "I'll be" in the form of ringtones on mobile phones. This song was a completely unrealistic success. But apart from that, I have a lot to be proud of. At first they didn’t even want to take her on the radio. But six months later she received the Golden Gramophone as the best ringtone of the year.

Influence of appearance on success. Journalists often suspect that my success is a consequence of the fact that someone shoved me behind a pretty face. And that, they say, there is nothing else. But be that as it may, I always had a boy character. I have always been a fan of jeans and sneakers and tried to keep it as simple as possible. I really have a lot of help and friends with me. Probably because I am real, unmade. Zadorozhnaya is a perfect boy for so many of my male friends. I say this without any pathos.

The first love. She was in the children's musical ensemble "Fidgets", and his name was Seryozha Lazarev. It was my first unrequited love. But I was very lucky that I met such a person as Seryoga. Talented and handsome careerist. He then radiated a very powerful energy. A 13-year-old girl is better off falling in love with a guy like that than no loser.

I love - I do not like. For me, there is nothing ideal - an ideal man, etc. But in people, falsity annoys me. I feel it right away. When a person is not someone, but tries to imagine something from himself. I don't have such friends. I appreciate humor in people. And a person must also have kind eyes. I really appreciate kindness in people. My mom is like that too. I'm more interested in talking to men. I have a women's council of friends who have been tested since GITIS, and we stick together. We all advise each other. When it’s hard for me, I go to “cry” to my young man Sergey and to my old friend Peter Sheksheev (my producer).

When is the wedding, then I will not wear an ordinary wedding dress - I can not stand it. I would like to celebrate the wedding in a beautiful Italian castle. Or I'll go to the beach in Bali in a regular T-shirt and pants - and that's it. I don't want the wedding to be stressful for me. I want it to be as relaxed and simple as possible. I want to wake up at two o'clock in the afternoon, wrap something around my head and... I don't want to think about what, where and who... It seems to me that in my case it will be something slightly reminiscent of a wedding.

Zadorozhnaya calls her first love Sergei Lazarev, whom she met in Fidget. Photo: personal archive.

What should be the dream house. I want a cozy nest. To be honest, I still don't know how it should be. It will be made of stone or wood ... Definitely, this is not a castle in the style of Maxim Galkin. I am a person who is happy in something simple enough. Therefore, my house will probably be quite simple.

I am not spoiled for chic and glamour. But I think that shoes should always be good. It is better to buy rags abroad, because everything is very expensive here.

The biggest fees gives, of course, cinema. I also make money from corporations. I can say that I earn “normally” to support my mother, aunt, as well as a large team of associates

I like driving a car. Now I drive a Range Rover Ewok, I used to drive a Mazda, a jeep. I loved this car very much, but having traveled for six years, I thought it was time to change to something new. I really want to relax and travel. I love Bali and Italy. From alcohol I like good whiskey, white wine. I love grey, white. I love tulips.

In January, with my participation, the comedy "Love in the Big City-3" will be released. I have a grandiose idea for a new video clip, and we are currently writing the script with the scriptwriters of the film. I hope that we will implement this idea after the New Year.

The modeling business does not interest me. Yes, I’m not very suitable for height either (1.71 m). Besides, I don't know how to make a "stone" face - I have 385 grimaces per minute.

I wish I had at least a couple of children. With my boyfriend (figure skater Sergei Slavnov) we have been together for five years. Everything was in our relationship. There were laps. But there is no need to take rigid positions in relation to each other. I am glad that I am in a relationship with a real, real man. I don’t like capricious male artists, I can’t stand their whining on the set. I like to make surprises for my man - I suddenly rushed to him in other cities of the world. Even though it was difficult to get to him, but I was pleased. He made proposals to me from the first year of our acquaintance, but so far we are in no hurry. I want to want to, but I don't want to yet. I don't want to rush looking at the examples of friends and acquaintances. Apparently something happens when people put on rings and stamp their passports. But Seryoga and I have confidence in each other. Our union was built initially on the fact that we trust each other.

Favorite joke. One Jew comes to another and says: “Listen, life is impossible, I don’t understand what to do: there is nothing to eat, no work, no money, many children - the ninth is on the way.” And he answers him: “You have such an active childbearing, you have not tried to protect yourself: go to the pharmacy, buy a condom, read the instructions, and everything will work out for you.” The Jew went, bought it, came into the bedroom, undressed, pulled on a condom, and began to look in the mirror: he got up like that, and that, and awry. And then his wife imperceptibly enters the room and tells him: “The children have nothing to eat, but he x. dresses up."

Introduction

Introduction

When we arrived at the 5th grade on September 1, we noticed that our classmates had changed and matured. We found this very interesting. We saw that each of us has his own character, someone's mood is constantly changing, we have different hobbies. Therefore, we became interested, and we thought about why we are so different. Having visited the library and talked with a psychologist who leads the “Let's be friends” circle in our class, we learned a lot of new things.

We decided to observe each of the students in our class, conduct a survey, and, based on our observations, the results of questionnaires and surveys, draw up a self-portrait of the class. In fifth grade, we made a presentation about our observations. It was very interesting for all the children and our parents. And we decided that in and in the sixth grade we will also observe.

Together with the class teacher, we identified several points to which we had to find the answer:

1. Find out what is temperament? Create a “portrait” of class behavior based on observations.

2. What is a self-portrait? Conduct and analyze the questionnaire "What am I?".

3. Create a "Calendar of the birthdays of our classmates."

5. Make a conclusion.

5. Make a conclusion.

What is temperament?

Watching classmates, how they study, communicate, experience joys and sorrows, we drew attention to the differences in their behavior. There are among us fast and agile children, and there are explosive and aggressive, and of course slow and calm. The reason for this is temperament a person who belongs to him from birth.

Psychologists distinguish 4 groups of temperament:

    These are mobile balanced children.

    Very mobile, unbalanced.

    Motionless, quiet children.

    Slow, unbalanced.

Having read about temperaments in on-line dictionaries, we learned the following.

Temperament ( temperamentum- proper ratio of parts) - a stable association of individual personality traits associated with dynamic, rather than meaningful aspects of activity. Temperament is the basis of development ; in general, from a physiological point of view, temperament - person. (Wikipedia. Encyclopedia).

TEMPERAMENT m. lat. the nature of man, his natural composition, in accordance with the basic qualities of the soul; four main temperaments: sanguine ( alokrovny), choleric ( nervous), phlegmatic ( white-blooded ) and melancholy ( black-blooded). ( V. Dal Explanatory Dictionary of the Living Great Russian Language).

TEMPERAMENT, -a, m.

1. The totality of individual mental properties of a person, characterizing the degree of his excitability and manifested in his attitude to the surrounding reality, in the strength of feelings, behavior.Sanguine, melancholic, choleric and phlegmatic ~s.

2. Vital energy, the ability to uplift.Man with ~om.

(S.I. Ozhegov, N.Yu. Shvedova Explanatory Dictionary of the Russian Language).

Drawing up a "portrait" of class behavior based on observations


We decided to observe the behavior of classmates in the classroom and find out which temperament group prevails. Based on the results obtained, we have a portrait of "behavior".


12 people

In our class, mobile, balanced children and very mobile, unbalanced children predominate.

Thus, we called the portrait of our behavior as follows: "Not a moment of peace."


Footnotes:

Mobile balanced children.

Very mobile, unbalanced children.

Motionless, quiet children.

Slow, unbalanced children.

What is a self-portrait?

The theme of our project is "Self-portrait". We need to answer the question, what does “Self-portrait” mean? Using the literature, we found the concept of this word.

SELF-PORTRAIT, -a,m.A portrait painted from myself. ( S.I. Ozhegov, N.Yu. Shvedova Explanatory Dictionary of the Russian Language).

(from auto ... and portrait), a portrait of the artist, made by himself. In a self-portrait, the artist expresses his self-consciousness, assessment of his own personality and creative principles. (in the modern explanatory dictionary published by the Great Soviet Encyclopedia).

self-portrait - himself. Usually refers to a picturesque image; however, there are also sculptural, literary, photographic and cinematic self-portraits, etc. (Wikipedia. Encyclopedia).

A self-portrait is a picture of oneself.

Thus, we must paint a portrait of ourselves. To do this, we conducted a questionnaire, "What am I?", where everyone had to circle their palm and write 5 qualities that are unique to them.

The words were written on the blackboard:

evil

modest

shy


Based on these answers, we saw that in the class, most of the children are smart, hardworking, caring and modest. Thus, our self-portrait in grade 5 turned out like this:


In the 6th grade, our self-portrait became like this:


We watched the guys in the 5th grade and in the 6th grade.






Creation of the "Calendar of birthdays of our classmates"

Every year we have a birthday party in the class - last year and in this that year:

5th grade 6th grade

According to the date of birth of each student, we made a portrait "Calendar". They designated the following: “snowflake” are children born in winter, “cherry blossom” students are classmates who were born in spring, “sun” are summer birthdays, “autumn leaves” are students whose birthdays are in autumn. Reviewing the responses to the questionnaire"The world of my hobbies"We have identified 4 groups of hobbies and interests. Based on the results of this questionnaire, we can conclude that we love to move, so almost all children attend sports sections and circles. And also our class loves to draw, dance, participate in competitions and sing. And it also turned out that we like to be on duty around the school, go to community work days to clean the school territory, clean up the office, and put things in order. Thus, we concluded that our class "Creative, athletic and hardworking."



findings

All tasks set in the research work have been completed.

Thus, we have a self-portrait of our class.

As a result of this research, we saw that the portrait of our class is very bright. The main thing is that we, having different characters, learn to understand each other. Friendship helps us with this.


What has this job given us?

All this knowledge will help us better understand another person. We have acquired the ability to conduct a survey, process the results of the questionnaire, the ability to listen to the answers of classmates. We also acquired the skills of working in a text editor, in a graphic editor, the skills of working with photos and text at the same time.

With this work, we spoke to parents in the 5th grade at the “First Grade Graduation” holiday, this year we spoke at the school scientific and practical conference.

Instruction

Start a verbal portrait by describing the anatomical features of a person. Describe his appearance, noting gender, age, race, height and physique. If it is difficult to identify the race, you can say what kind of representative of the people he looks like: a gypsy, a Buryat, a Japanese. The physique of a person is weak, medium, stocky and athletic. According to the degree of fatness, it can be attributed to thin, normal, full, obese. Here you can also mention the features of his figure - the presence of a hump, stoop or pronounced asymmetry.

Proceed to describe the shape of the head, hair and face. As characteristic features of the head, indicate its size relative to the general physique and the shape of the occiput - vertical, oblique, convex. Speaking of hair, note its color, length, density, structure (straight, curly), the presence of gray hair and bald patches, signs of coloring. Describe the hairstyle and haircut.

Speaking of the face, give not only general information about its shape, contour, degree of completeness, and such features as the presence of acne and wrinkles, but also information about all other parts in detail. Describe the height, width, and contour of the forehead and eyebrows. When talking about the eyes, note their color, relative position, cut, shape and bulge. If the person wears glasses, please indicate so. Describe in no less detail the shape and location of the nose, lips, mouth, teeth, chin, and ears.

Describe the characteristic features of other parts of the body: neck, shoulders, chest, back and limbs. Pay special attention to the palms and fingers - the thickness, the absence of individual fingers or their phalanges, signs of arthritis, the shape and size of the nails.

Great importance in the preparation of a verbal portrait is given to functional features - gait, posture, gestures, facial expressions, voice. They can be specially modified and are not as stable as anatomical features, but often help to complement the general idea of ​​​​a person.

If they are, then give a description of special signs - scars, tattoos, piercings, absence of body parts, lameness. Describe the clothes and accessories that the person was wearing. The verbal portrait is ready!

A person has many external signs, but all of them can be attributed to two large groups. Thanks to these groups of characteristics, a verbal portrait of any person is created, a description of the appearance helps in identifying the person.

Feature groups

The first group is anatomical. It is with its help that you can convey the anatomical structure of a person, any features of his appearance, these signs make it possible to determine gender, set the range of age and height, and show what kind of physique a person has. Anthropological features of a person are also described by this group, and these are physical features, racial characteristics, approximate nationality, what kind of face a person has, the elements on it, what is the structure of the body, the proportions of the arms and legs in relation to the body, the shape of the head, hairstyle, other features of appearance.

The second group of signs is dynamic. With the help of this group, the features of human movements are described, most of them are based on processes that can be called conditioned reflex. It is they that characterize the features of gestures, gait, head movements and other body movements that a person practically does not control with the help of willpower. A person has a lot of unconscious movements and postures, these are facial expressions and posture, as well as gait. For example, it is almost impossible for a lame person to control the evenness and uniformity of his gait; due to a physical feature, he will crouch or drag on one leg.

Why is a verbal portrait created?

In forensics, a person's appearance is described in special terms, a verbal portrait is created. A person can arbitrarily slightly change his gait, follow gestures, but he is not able to change the functionality of the body as a whole. All body movements are very stable, at the same time they are unique. The created verbal portrait helps to identify not only living people, but also corpses.

There are several ways to identify a person by a verbal portrait: present a suspect for identification, compare a description of appearance and a photo portrait. Criminologists try to convey as accurately as possible all the nuances of a person’s appearance in the description, since initially no one knows exactly which signs will play a decisive role in the search.

The description begins with general features, then smaller ones are mentioned. The gender comes first, then the approximate age, and only then the whole figure is outlined, then the head, shoulders, neck, chest, face, special signs. It is they who are especially valuable, since getting rid of tattoos, scars, lameness, ticks is not something that is not easy, it is almost impossible. Even plastic surgery does not help, since it does not affect the main biometric parameters, the shape of the skull is what it was, and will be.

Every day we meet different people: kind, sad, strange, tall, obese, beautiful, funny... Each person with whom some kind of communication takes place leaves a certain trace in our psyche. These "traces" are not complete without a verbal description of the subject's appearance. In our mind or in a conversation with a girlfriend, we always rely on aspects of describing a person's appearance.

Description of a person's appearance: purpose

There are sciences that study the appearance of people, such as psychology, philology, forensics and some others. Doctors also encounter elements of the description of appearance when they study the history of the disease or the psychotype of the patient. This process is indispensable in business, especially show business. In modeling agencies, the appearance of a girl or a guy plays a key role, therefore, when meeting with the desired model in absentia, the investor or director first gets acquainted with the verbal portrait of the subject.

Description of appearance in everyday life broadens the horizon, contributes to the formation of taste and appreciation of people. In addition, the interlocutor can easily form the image of the described person in the mind according to certain adjectives.

In psychology, the description of appearance is also in an important place. Whole theories of personality and its behavior are based on the appearance of individuals. For example, Kretschmer's theory directly links the temperament, character and orientation of a person with his physique. And not only he noted a certain relationship between external data and the internal mood of people. Over the years, our emotions and stress leave an imprint on our appearance in the form of wrinkles, gait, gestures.

In jurisprudence, there is a huge section called forensic science. This science also uses the scientific description of a person's appearance, defining the criteria and rules for this process. Here, the description is also an important process, since victims and witnesses remember criminals according to external data. In this science, attention is paid to every element of the face, torso, limbs of a person. Along with this, they pay attention to clothes and other signs when they are looking for the missing.

Types of description of appearance

There are many varieties of theories and rules that allow you to describe a person externally as accurately as possible. But this process as a whole can be divided into two main types:

  • arbitrary- which is characterized by the use of ordinary folk words, is not structured, so important points may be missed;
  • systematized- used with the use of scientific or technical terms, compiled according to the method of verbal portrait.

What are the anatomical features of a person?

Description of a person's appearance is what many people encounter when communicating. There are times when you need to talk about a particular person, describing his appearance. School-age children may also encounter this, for example, if they were given the task of writing an essay: "Description of a person's appearance."

Anatomical features of a person include organs and parts of the body, such as the head, chin, forehead, face or torso.

By anatomical features, you can determine the sex of a person, his age, height and physique. You can also determine the anthropological features of the appearance of a person, the structure of his body and head, and also an element of the face. Since the face is considered the "cover" that characterizes the appearance of a person, special attention is paid to it.

What characteristics are related to the functional description?

The description of a person's appearance cannot take place without determining his functional features. The latter are manifested during human life. They characterize motor and physiological functions. A functional description of a person's appearance reflects the features of the manifestation of his life activity. Characteristics related to functional traits include posture, gestures, facial expressions, gait, and speech.

Creating a verbal portrait of a person, describing the appearance and determining its functional features, first of all, many pay attention to posture. It can be traced by the position of the head - its relation to the body. Also, posture is determined by the position of the body relative to the vertical. Describing it, you can use the following adjectives: hunched, stooped, free, straight and loose. For example, hands can be located along the body, on the hips, behind the back or in pockets. And the head is thrown back, tilted forward, or tilted to one of the sides.

When a student writes a thematic essay: "Description of a person's appearance", then he can use adjectives to characterize the gait of this person. It can be, for example, slow, shuffling, heavy, bouncing, wobbling, fast, mincing, waddling, and waving its arms.

The verbal description of a person's appearance according to functional characteristics can be continued for a long time, because, as mentioned above, this includes gestures, facial expressions, as well as speech functions.

Methods of verbal portrait

A verbal portrait is a forensic way of describing a person's appearance using special terms. This method is carried out by a certain system for the purpose of criminal registration (for example, search and identification of living people or corpses).

Methods of verbal portrait are used to identify a person. This can be done by presenting for identification, comparing the appearance with a photographic portrait, with a verbal portrait, as well as comparing a verbal portrait with a photographic image.

Arbitrary description of appearance

Characteristics of a person and a description of his appearance can be made in an arbitrary way. They are given by eyewitnesses with words and expressions used in everyday speech. These can be household terms, local dialects, and the like.

Any person who saw the incident can give an arbitrary description. Moreover, he does this with the help of words familiar to him, without using scientific terms. Such descriptions often help criminalists find the right person.

Systematization in the description of a person's appearance

Systematized is a description by the method of verbal portrait. Alphonse Bertillon laid the foundations for systematization at the end of the 19th century. Such a description helps to uniformly characterize the elements of people's appearance, their signs and equally perceive the result of the description. There are also basic principles for describing appearance, through which uniformity is achieved. These are the principles:

  • on the use of standardized terminology;
  • on compliance with the sequence in the description;
  • about maximum completeness;
  • about the description in full face and in the right profile;
  • description, which is carried out in relation to the standard position of the head and the state of appearance;
  • about the description, in which special signs stand out.

What are the rules for describing appearances?

There are also rules developed by criminologists for describing a person's appearance, with the help of which a person is characterized by the method of a verbal portrait. This includes the completeness of the description of appearance. After all, the speed of searching for a person primarily depends on this, because it is not known by what signs it will be possible to find it.

The next rule is the sequence of description. This includes general physical characteristics such as gender and age. Then an anatomical description already takes place (for example, the figure as a whole, neck, shoulders, chest, back, head, including the face).

Then there is a description using special terminology. This is necessary in order to ensure a uniform understanding of the information received. But the sources of information are divided into subjective and objective.

The use of adjectives in describing a person in a picture

At first glance, it may seem that making a description of a person's appearance from a picture is not so difficult. But this will not be difficult if we know the person well, and if not, then some effort will have to be made. The first thing you need is to know adjectives well, with which you can make a description.

For example, looking at a painting, you can describe a person's head using adjectives that describe its size: small, medium, or large. You can characterize a person’s hair from a picture using the following criteria: abundance, length, type, color or frontal line. Hair can be thick, medium or sparse. Length - short, medium length or long. Hair type can be straight, wavy and curly. Color - light blond, blond, dark blond, black and red. And the frontal line is straight, arcuate, wavy and broken.

Looking at the picture, you can use any adjectives to describe the face of a person as a whole, his forehead, eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth, lips, teeth, chin, ear and neck. It also characterizes the shoulders, chest, back, arms and legs.

Characteristics of the appearance of a Russian person

Another mystery for ethnopsychologists, physiognomists, philologists is the appearance of a Russian person. It is not very easy to describe it, because it is a very vague concept. Many say that a real Russian person should have blue eyes, blond hair and a flat, tall figure. But if we go deeper into this issue, then it can be light or dark brown or blue eyes, as well as all colors and shades of green. The hair is light or dark blond and very thick, and the figure is slender, tall. There is no regularity in the shape of the nose and lips of a Russian person. They can be completely different. But the skin of Russians is often light and matte.

The ratio of the characteristics of a person and the description of his appearance

A few centuries ago, some scientists noticed the correspondence of appearance and some character traits, personality characteristics. A full person is characterized by addictions (for example, to food), that is, he has weak willpower. Such people are guided by the opinions of others, friendly and love communication.

People with a visually large head and shoulders love risk, are prone to physical activity, but do not differ in mercy and compassion.

Thin people with a high forehead and a narrow chest are characterized as sensitive, loving solitude, quiet, secretive, inactive in communication.

There are theories that link complexion, its asymmetry, impulsiveness with the lifestyle that a person leads. The description of appearance in this case will be based on the external characteristics and characteristics of human activity.

In addition, there is a downside to this process. It is necessary to pay attention to who makes the description of the person's appearance. Example: a person who is inclined to control everything will first describe the leadership traits of a person and his behavior in this vein.
