“Art workshops”, founded two years ago, a joint art project of the museum
and the Fine Arts Department of Kirovograd children’s school of arts during which pupils
of the school under the direction of a well-known KIrovograd painter, member of the
National Union of artists of Ukraine Yu.Vintenko reflected art studios in the halls of the
museum, took place in A.A.Osmerkin Art-Memorial Museum within the framework of an art
event “A visit to a museum”, dedicated to International Museums Day.
“Art is taught in the museum” – quote by a world famous French painter
Auguste Renoir, which was A.Osmerkin’s credo, defined the theme of this year art
workshops. “Among my “universities”, that left indelible mark, one of the first
places were taken by Shchukin’s collection in Moscow”, - wrote A.Osmerkin in his
autobiography. He himself perfected his skill in museums.
Pupils of the school together with their teachers G.Yarovaya-Vintenko,
O.Dubrova and Yu.Vintenko had been working for four hours in the memorial hall of the
museum. They worked on their personal reproduction of A.Osmerkin’s paintings. Young
artists created their own interpretation of the professor of painting A.Osmerkin’s
paintings. Traditionally, a graduate of the school and now a student of the art department
of V.Vynnychenko State Kirovograd Pedagogical University Bogdan Garashchenko participated
in the art workshops. He worked in oil painting technique.
The aim of the art event was not only knowledge of A.Osmerkin creative works
but also cultivation of interest in a painting as a bearer of the basis of artistic
culture and tradition. Adopting artistic methods, studying peculiarities of painting
creation they widened their own artistic capabilities and felt concerned to art.
And the result was an express-exhibition of the young artists’ and their
teachers’ “Art is taught in the museum” which was presented in the museum halls. |
