On January 31, the opening of the personal exhibition “Bird of Happiness” by member of the Union of Artists of the Republic of Kazakhstan Raigul Akhmetzhanova took place at the Library of the First President of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The exhibition was organized as part of the Library’s project “Cultural Code of Independence”.
2nd year students of the Higher School of Pedagogy attended the vernissage in addition to training sessions in “Cultural Studies”. R. Akhmetzhanova’s decorative works are based on the traditions and materials of Kazakh folk art, complemented by her own techniques using wood, ceramics, tea, and felt. Warm in mood, harmonious in color, with a subtle sense of rhythm and compositional balance, our students really liked the artist’s works. A visit to the exhibition is a great opportunity for our students to see the evolution of the decorative traditions of the Kazakh people in modern art.
