Over 900 children from Upper Pysma took part in the "City Forums"
In the heart of Verkhnyaya Pyshma, a vibrant artistic movement has taken root. Over 900 children from the municipal district participated in the Urban Plein Air project, an initiative that encourages young artists to engage with their urban environment through art.
Led by artist Ksenia Kartasheva, the project saw children creating drawings using various materials such as watercolors, pastels, colored pencils, and ink. The children depicted iconic city locations, including Manin Park, the miner monument, Heroes' Square, and UGMK picturesque park, showcasing their unique perspectives and connections with their city.
The best works from the Urban Plein Air project were exhibited at the Kinograd cinema, where a jury consisting of representatives from "Our Verkhnyaya Pyshma" social initiatives support fund, "Worthy - the Best" fund, the children's art school, and the education department of the Verkhnyaya Pyshma municipal district selected the finest pieces.
While detailed information about the project's objectives, structure, and impact on children's artistic development was not available, it is generally known that such projects can foster creativity, improve observation skills, and encourage artistic growth. They can also enhance practical skills, expand visual vocabulary, and increase appreciation for both art and urban culture.
In a separate event, the III Art Academy of Atomic Cities took place in Novouralsk. This independent art event was not a part of the Urban Plein Air project in Verkhnyaya Pyshma. The number of participants or works created during the III Art Academy of Atomic Cities was not specified in the provided information.
As the Urban Plein Air project concludes in Verkhnyaya Pyshma, it leaves behind a trail of budding artists and a renewed appreciation for the city's iconic locations. For those interested in learning more about the project's specific goals, structure, and measurable outcomes on children's art development, local cultural institutions, educational centers, or official project communications from Verkhnyaya Pyshma would be the best sources of information.
The children, inspired by their city, captured various iconic locations of Verkhnyaya Pyshma in their artworks, demonstrating a unique lifestyle blend of home-and-garden and urban landscape. The best artworks from the Urban Plein Air project were displayed, encouraging a greater appreciation for home-and-garden aesthetics and urban culture among the viewers.
