- I really like to draw animals, do crafts. I go to the art studio Palette 1.5 years. I already participated in the same exhibition last year, and also took part in the “Assembly of Arts”. With our teacher Ekaterina Nikolaevna, I was at a master class with the president of the Russian Academy of Arts Z.K. Tsereteli and participated in other master classes. I like to go to classes in the art studio, they fly very quickly and bring great joy.

Styano Jessica. "Still life in the Dutch style" canvas. oil

I have been painting since early childhood. In the art studio Palette I was prepared for admission to the artist. I did easy. Now I am studying in the 9th grade of the MAHL RAX in the picturesque department. Most of all I like to paint still lifes and portraits. Learning is very interesting, but difficult. At this exhibition I have 2 works “Self-portrait in the interior” and “Still life in the Dutch style”, which I wrote inspired by the works of masters of the Netherlands. This is my second time participating in the exhibition “WORLD WITH THE EYES OF CHILDREN”. Everything was different last year.

Then the drawings took much more and all the walls were hung in several rows. It was difficult to understand where the author hangs. Now everything is done better, more space and easier to perceive each other’s work.

I have been going to Yekaterina Nikolaevna for the third year already and have participated a lot in various exhibitions and competitions, and have taken part in master classes. And I also go to the Tretyakov Gallery, I like to make copies of the paintings of great masters.

- And I also really like working with plasticine! I made a wonderful butterfly. And besides that she learned to work in art studios with pastel, gouache, paint wood and tried stained glass paints. Going to classes is very interesting, every time we learn something new. I became the winner of two international exhibitions, and I have been walking less than a year! And in class I made an art report.

- I was also prepared by Ekaterina Nikolaevna for admission to the art lyceum, I am very grateful to her for this. Now I often go to her consultation. It is important to have a teacher who wants to come back and consult. She explains everything very easily. I draw in different techniques and various materials, I write prose, poetry. I’m looking for my self.

Crenctic Veronica - 7 years.

Crenctic Veronica. Stylization of the letter "K" paper, gel pens

- I go to the art studio recently, but our life is so full, exhibitions and master classes that it seems to me that I have been going for a very long time! Ekaterina Nikolaevna constantly holds contests. You have to try hard, if you draw poorly, then your work will not be taken to the exhibition. And I like the discovery when there are a lot of people. I wear a beautiful dress and shoes. Mom makes me a beautiful hairstyle and she’s all so elegant! At this exhibition, my work was done with multi-colored helium pens. I came up with a fish to make the letter "K", everything happens at the bottom of the sea. We all really liked this task, we fantasized and came up with various funny stories.

The main theme of the exhibition was fairy tales and literary works, which the children illustrated in a wide variety of fine art techniques. They molded plasticine paintings, painted with gel pens on paper and painted with paints on canvas, gouache and watercolors, they created portraits and still lifes in different styles: they looked for the most accurate image of their world.
