Creative Laboratory in the Museum-Gallery

The 6th Art Festival «The Aesthetic Mathematics» in which 1115 school children participated came to its close. In their pictures the participants represented studies of their surrounding and their aspirations to its apprehension. The process of creative search compels one to scrutinize original sources of artistic performance, incites creative fantasy, stimulates intellect and calls for reflections with a pencil in one’s hand. In fact, a process of creation of any picture manifests an aspiration to immaculacy of art. On May 21, 2016 the pupils of Zaporozhye Musical Schools No.5 and No.6 and Art School No.1 and their teachers Rybalova O.V., Brik L.V., Dyakonova N.M., Koval Ye.A. opened the 7th Art Festival «Natural Coloristics» within the project «Museum and School» with the concert «Music and Mathematics» where the music of J.S. Bach, L.v. Beethoven, J. Haydn, C. Czerny, F. Liszt, I. Berkovich, E. Grieg, E. Siegmeister, M. Schmitz and other composers was played. The Art Festival will be held over the period of 2016-2017 school years.

Rainbow in Underground Museum

Recreational physics in the Brick Museum Recreational physics in the Brick Museum

Recreational physics in the Brick Museum
«Sunrays in Rainbow Colors» is the Fifth Art Festival within the framework of «Museum and School» project. It is held in the museum-gallery during 2014-2015 school year to expose the world of natural and physical phenomena, light and color in nature and art.
In nature everything thrives in the Sun. Its warmth and light brings everything to life.
Sunrays falling on Earth are rectilineal. If a ray on its way meets an opaque object, it casts shadow, as a ray can not penetrate through such an object. The spot is not illuminated.
In nature there are many physical phenomena which one can observe during one’s life. One of such phenomena is a rainbow, the attitude towards which is rather ambiguous with different people of the world.
A rainbow is an optical phenomenon in atmosphere representing one, two or several varicoloured bows observed against background of a cloud opposed to Sun. A rainbow is formed by rays that fall at a certain angle on a waterdrop. The rainbow from one waterdrop is very faint and can not be seen separately, but there are many waterdrops in the rain.
Sun and color are always present in human life. This is how nature beautifies itself, an artist enlivens a picture using colors and extraordinarily talented musicians even see a color of a melody. The musical concerts performed by children in the brick vault of the museum apartment give an opportunity to discover and expose the creative sides of personality. The pupils of Zaporozhye childrens’ musical schools proved themselves not only as musicians but also acted as artists leaving as a memento pictures with images of versicolored musical instruments.
Ability of correct and harmonious combination of colors, be that in a picture, in a dress, make-up or design, is one of the most important aspects of creative development of personality.
Nature and human imagination, complementing each other, create masterpieces. Such striking combination of natural beauty and human ability can be seen at «World of Icebergs» photo exhibition by Aleksander Batalkin opened on October 26, 2014 in the museum-gallery.
The «Sunrays in Rainbow Colors» Art Festival aims to inspire the guests to develop their creative abilities, enhance their cultural education and enrich the inner world of their personality.
