Pupils of children’s art schools, art studios and of creative workshops were asked to take part in the contest. Children at the age of 5-16 years could participate in the contest. Children from the Vologda, Kostroma, Yaroslavl, Sverdlovsk and other regions of our country sent to the museum 170 drawings for the contest.
Display “Architecture of Medieval Rus” opened in the exhibition hall of the museum of Dyonisy’s frescoes in October is the result of the contest. This display provides inside into the high level of art education in our country and discovers the problems of comprehensive school in regard to art. In the children’s drawing one can see the monuments of wooden and stone architecture dated back to the 17th century and the architecture of the Kievan Rus, the Vladimir-Suzdalian principality, Novgorod, Pskov and of Moscow. All the drawings are notable for the artistic expression, the author’s interpretation of theme, the composition of drawing and for its colour and graphic solutions. The winners of the contest got the books about Dyonisy’s frescoes and the monasteries of the region of the White lake. All the participants of the contest received diplomas and booklets.
The high results would be impossible without talented and responsive teachers. The museum of Dyonisy’s frescoes thanks the teachers and wishes them success and new discoveries.
