TOPIC OF THE PROJECT:

CREATIVITY UNITES: PRESERVING GLOBAL VALUES

The major topic of the School program is the value selection between the internal own values and what affects a man from the outside, such as mass media, Internet, and common stereotypes. How does a modern man pass through such value conflict? What contradictory values do people face? What value dilemmas do they solve? How to save global values and avoid instantaneous influences?

Participants will have to reflect the struggle inside a modern man between eternal true global principles and aggressively imposed inane temptations of the modern world.

SESSION PROGRAM INCLUDES:

Project participants will attend lectures, intensive courses and master classes provided by the professors of the St. Petersburg Academy of Fine Arts, and get acquainted with the art community of the city and with the students of the Academy. Students will also have a cultural program to spend their leisure time visiting world famous museums, theatres and galleries in Saint Petersburg. Creation of an artwork on the suggested topic will finalize the course.
