On November 9, 2022, a master class was held at the Higher School of Art and Design on the topic: “Using reproductions of paintings by great artists when studying the basics of design.

Purpose of the master class: Didactic tasks when using reproductions of paintings helps in the formation of ideas, the formation of general and individual concepts, the identification of patterns, the ability to compare, the ability to highlight.

Design without the use of clarity and entertainment and design with their use are two completely different things. As much as the first is difficult and boring for a student, the second is just as interesting and exciting.

The use of reproductions of paintings teaches students to think logically, develops artistic and imaginative thinking, aesthetic taste, and the ability to perceive and understand beauty.

Specialists from the public foundation "Family Reader" exchanged views on topical issues of spiritual education of the younger generation. It is no secret that along with the street of time, the flow of information not only does not grow, but even as the development process progresses, spiritual values remain outside the boundaries.
