  • Variations of the Beautiful

Open Plein Air “Variations of the Beautiful” to be held in "Uralets" children’s camp from 20 to 29 June.

Guided by experienced teachers, young Chelyabinsk Region artists will learn various drawing techniques, as well as how to work with nature, light and materials. Summer session will continue the Moscow State Stroganov Academy of Industrial and Applied Arts (MSSAIAA) educational program on the history of world art culture which is a part of the project “Steps of Enlightenment: School and Education as Resources of Success” started in February.

For the second time, the core shift will be guided by member of the Union of Artists, MSSAIAA academic painting lecturer, head of the Department of General Art Disciplines of the National Design Institute Valentin Dmitriyev. In addition, drawing and sketching classes will be held by head of the Department of Artistic and Creative Work of the South Ural State Tchaikovsky Institute of Arts (SUSTIA) Yelena Markina. 

The schedule for the shift participants is structured to ensure that the children can change the learning environment and to have a rest, to spend time in team and to immerse themselves in art not only through practical studies. Long-time curator of the plein air, teacher of theoretical disciplines of the Children’s Rozum Art School No. 1, art historian Natalya Vodoleyeva created the study program for the cycle “Entertaining Art History.” It includes interactive lectures on nuances of understanding various cultural phenomena, quizzes on art types and trends, reviewing “trips” to world art masterpieces, work with metaphoric maps to develop association and imagination, and summer cinema sessions. 

The plein air will result in traditional exhibition of works of young artists of the Southern Urals.
