Presentation of the project for children about buttons. Presentation for the research work "The big story of a small button". And we pass to the music

Big story of a small button.

You can become an archangel, a fool or a criminal and no one will notice. But if you don't have a button, everyone will pay attention to it. (E.M. Remarque)

Button. What can be interesting in this familiar, ordinary subject? "Clear as a button" we find in the dictionary of comparisons.

However, if you look at it a little from the other side, then a lot of interesting things can open up. After all, every thing has not only its own history, but also a lot of fantastically exciting features.

The first fasteners, resembling buttons, appeared around the 3rd millennium BC. At the excavations in the Indus Valley, a real button with two holes for sewing was found.

In Europe, the first buttons appeared in the 4th century BC. the Greek soldiers.

During the Middle Ages, knights brought them to Europe from the Middle East, but buttons gained popularity only in the 18th century. And at first, oddly enough, men showed interest in new fasteners. Women, on the other hand, met the appearance of buttons "with hostility" and continued to use pins.

Men's clothing at that time was not inferior to women's clothing in brightness and luxury. Buttons were made of precious metals, often decorated with precious stones.
The button, which was then called a "button", "came" to Russian fashionistas at the end of the 15th - beginning of the 16th century.

If we collect the ideas of scientists from different fields of knowledge - historians, ethnographers, etc., then we can distinguish four main functions of the button:

1.utilitarian (button as fastener);

3. magical (button - a talisman or talisman);

4. semiotic or informative (a button as an identification mark).

On the one hand, buttons found in various excavations clearly served as clasps. So, the uniform of the Greek warriors was fastened in front with straps on several metal buttons with “legs”.

On the other hand, among the archaeological finds of ancient Greek art from the 4th c. BC. according to the 1st century AD there are buttons made of gold, which speaks, first of all, of their decorative value. A fact is known when the cost of a fur coat was two and a half times inferior to the cost of the buttons placed on it.

Today, hardly anyone remembers that in the past the button was one of the important magical amulets designed to scare away forces hostile to man. A pellet, a piece of tin or a round stone was placed in hollow buttons, which, when moving, made a muffled sound, reminiscent of the sound of a bell. And the buttons turned into amulets.

Interestingly, the button in Russian has the same root as the words scare, scarecrow, scarecrow. Some Russian researchers believe that this coincidence is due precisely to the fact that the button served as a protection against evil forces for a long time. From this we can conclude that among the Western peoples, the main functions of the button have always been utilitarian and decorative, while among the Slavs, the function of the amulet was put in the first place.

When buttons appeared, they were worn much more than necessary, because the more noble and richer a person was, the more they should have been. It is known, for example, that the French King Francis I once ordered 13,600 small gold buttons from a jeweler to decorate just one velvet suit.

In many countries, philobutonism, the collection of buttons, is as popular as philately, the collection of postage stamps.

The button was the very first fastener for clothes that was invented by man. And, as it turned out, the longest-playing. This is not only a functional detail, but also a decorative accessory, which often allows itself to “break away” from clothes and live an independent life. IN recent years two or three, interest in buttons in our country has increased markedly. There were directories, a thematic site on the Internet. We began to take seriously such a seemingly insignificant thing as a button. This is very important, because the button is a witness to the era.

Relevance

It is no secret that the leading role in the formation of the personality of the child, in the formation of his spiritual world belongs emotional sphere. It is through her that one should act. A preschool child lives in a specific natural social and cultural environment.

The ability of the child to animate the inanimate world with his fantasy allows him to “humanize everything that exists”

The ways of involving preschoolers in the process of perception and productive creativity are varied. fairy story, game situations, elements of pantomime will give the lessons dynamism, intriguing mystery.

Waste material is probably one of the most common materials for creativity and needlework. Plastic bottles, food containers, cups, spoons and plates, plastic straws, kinder surprises, old things and other household waste cost nothing, but using them in your work you can make real masterpieces.

We will stop at buttons.

Button- This is a ready-made material, convenient to use for crafts with children. One can say "decorative" waste material.

The relevance of our topic is that the task of the educator is to show children what can be done from ordinary buttons where it can be used. Cultivate collecting skills. Interest in research activities

It is also no secret to anyone that the development fine motor skills (flexibility and accuracy of finger movements) and tactile sensitivity - a powerful stimulus for the development of perception, attention, memory, thinking and speech in children. Children who have better developed fine hand movements have a more developed brain, especially those parts of it that are responsible for speech. The fingers are endowed with a large number of receptors that send impulses to the central nervous system person.

Therefore, it is very important to develop fine motor skills in a child from a very early age. But just doing the exercises will be boring for the child - you need to turn them into interesting and useful games. In our case, in games using buttons. Making crafts from buttons.

The main thing that children and adults have learned is the realization that the most ordinary thing can keep an amazing story of its appearance.

The history of the button

The history of the button began seven hundred years ago. But the name of a person

who invented it, history has not preserved. Interestingly, women

at first they completely ignored this invention and continued

to use pins, buttons were only of interest to men.
Since in those days men's clothing was no less bright than women's buttons were made of expensive metals, decorated with precious stones. And so many buttons were sewn onto a man's dress, more than a few thousand, that it became very heavy. History remembers that French
King Francis
ordered 13,600 gold buttons to decorate his velvet suit. The position of a person was determined by the buttons. Buttons made of gold and silver were made for the nobles, from non-precious materials - for soldiers and servants, from glass and wood for ordinary people.
"Button" in Russian
has the same root as the word
"frighten"
. And scientists believe that this coincidence is not accidental, it served our people as a protection against dark forces, was a talisman that repels evil. For “greater strength”, a piece of metal or a round pebble was also placed in them, which, when moving, made a sound similar to the ringing of a bell. For centuries, there were no buttons. Many of them have become works of art and are now kept in museums. And modern haberdashery stores sell an amazing selection of buttons!
This is interesting
On men's clothing buttons are located on the right, and on the women's left. It is believed that at the time of the introduction of buttons, men dressed themselves, and women were dressed by maids - therefore, for them, buttons were sewn in a mirror image. Decree of Peter I, ordering to sew tin buttons to the cuffs of the sleeves of soldier's uniforms with outside was full secret meaning: buttons did not allow the soldiers, out of habit, to wipe their mouth and nose with their sleeves after eating. So he weaned the soldiers from a bad habit that spoiled uniform cloth. Finding a button is still considered a good omen, and if a black cat crosses your path, just touch the button and you can safely move forward.

The history of the button
The history of the appearance of buttons begins in antiquity. The most ancient samples were found during excavations in the Indus Valley, which means they were used in the Indus civilization (3rd millennium BC). In addition, archaeologists have found evidence that the buttons were used by the ancient Greeks, Scythians and ancient Romans. There are finds that indicate that they were on the belts with which the soldiers fastened their armor. The buttons of those times were distinguished by a variety of shapes - from round to canonical.
However, of course, in ancient times, buttons were not used as widely as in the Middle Ages. Then tight-fitting suits, tailored to the figure, began to come into fashion. First, they were sewn up directly on the person, and then the seams were torn open. Over time, to speed up the process, a seam was invented that fell apart if the thread was pulled at one end. However, this was not very convenient. As a result, the problem was solved with the help of buttons. True, only very wealthy people could afford them, since they were then made from precious metals - gold or silver. The more buttons on a person's suit, respectively, the higher his status. It is known that the King of France, Francis I, was the owner of a suit on which more than thirteen and a half thousand buttons were sewn!
Over time, other segments of the population also got the opportunity to use buttons in clothes, as they began to be made from cheaper materials. It is interesting that they also became a distinction - they were made with a stamped pattern, which testified that the owner of the suit or uniform belonged to one or another department.
An unusual way to use this clasp was proposed by the ingenious Peter I, who issued a decree according to which unnecessary buttons were sewn onto the sleeve of a soldier's uniform in order to wean soldiers from wiping their mouth or nose with their sleeves. This made it possible to preserve the expensive cloth from which the costumes were sewn for a longer time.
