"Day of activity" - Belarusian Art Museum turned into a workshop!

On December 2, the residents of Minsk got a unique opportunity to see how the walls of their beloved national art museum “come to life”. The purpose of the "Day of Activity" is the desire to show visitors that "Color has a soul." That with the help of brushes and paints you can reveal the highest values of our world - Love, Compassion, Faith, Joy, God…

The event is part of the extraordinary cultural program “Museum Labyrinths”, which is jointly created by the museum staff and contemporary artists of Belarus. Therefore, the event received two directions - in one, museum visitors received comprehensive information about Russian art from the 18th to 19th centuries, and with the other, they watched the museum hall turn right before our eyes into the creative workshop of Belarusian artist Viktor Tikhonov.

Within 3 hours, the event visitors personally learned all the features of color reproduction, learned the secret techniques for creating the perfect palette for paintings and alchemists, tried to find the “philosopher’s stone” by mixing colors in dozens of proportions and getting an original and unique shade.

In addition, every person who looked at the hospitable art museum at that time received an incredible opportunity to leave his finishing touch on the still unfinished canvas of Viktor Tikhonov. And through paints to capture on canvas your understanding of the World, Joy, Love and, of course, Infinity!

Perhaps everyone who was lucky to get to this event now has a complete understanding of how a masterpiece is created. And drawing is one of the most positive ways of knowing life!
