Specialties

Educational activities are carried out in the following specializations:

– There was never a Jew Mary, Isidore, nor Joseph next to Jesus. There was the Witch Mary, who, right before his birth, went here, to Meteora, so that he would be born here, among the Magi and Witches. But she was late... Jesus was born a week earlier, AT DAWN, in a small house on the river bank. And his birth was accompanied by the Bright Morning Star. Our Magi hurried to him to see him and protect him. And his Teacher and Father came to bow to the wonderful soul of his newborn son. The Magi called him to Earth to stop the "plague", which, like a spider, had been weaving its black webs here for a long time. And it was the Magi who sent Christ to the Jews. But Jesus himself was never a Jew. The Magi hoped that he would have enough strength to stop the "black" Evil that was already spreading across the Earth. But Jesus lost by underestimating the "great weaknesses" of man... The Earth was not ready for His coming, just as it was not ready for the coming of the LEADERS, Isidore. And we are not ready to help her. When will it come right time We will open doors. And, perhaps, Light will triumph on Earth. But this will not happen for a very long time... Forgive me.
I was blown up.
- So, what - you will just calmly watch how the best are destroyed?! .. But this is also your world, the North! How can you just leave him to die? The easiest thing to do is pick up and leave. Or just WAIT. But won't such a betrayal haunt you for the rest of your long life?.. Can you live somewhere calmly without thinking about all the dead?!.. I do not believe in a beautiful future built on other people's deaths, Sever! This is scary. The world will never be the same if we don't help it now! Please help me North...
I was ready to fall on my knees if that could help. But, I saw that nothing would change from this... These people lived in their own Truth, very isolated and alien. I could not understand how they were not ashamed to stay on the sidelines when the best and most talented children of the earth burned in thousands, cursing their gift and dying in terrible agony .... My hands dropped - I could not fight alone. He was right - I didn't have enough strength.
– How can you accept this, Sever!.. How can we allow the "black" to seize our beautiful Earth?.. Don't your Great Teachers see what is happening? How, after all, to believe in something bright, Sever?! ..
– The Earth will suffer for a very long time and terribly, Isidora... Until it comes to the very edge of destruction. And only the best will always die for it. And then the time of choice will come... And only the people themselves will be able to decide whether they have enough strength to survive. We just point the way.
- Are you sure that it will be who to indicate, Sever? Perhaps those who remain will no longer care ...
– Oh, no, Isidora! Man is extraordinarily strong in his survival. You can't even imagine how strong he is! And a real Man never gives up... Even if he is left alone. It has always been so. And so it will always be. The power of Love and the power of Struggle are very strong on Earth, even if people do not understand this yet. And there will always be someone who will lead the rest. The main thing is that this Leader does not turn out to be “black”... From the very birth, a person is looking for a goal. And it depends only on him whether he finds it himself or turns out to be the one to whom this goal will be given. People must learn to think, Isidora. In the meantime, unfortunately, many are satisfied with what others think for them. And as long as this continues, the Earth will still lose its best sons and daughters, who will pay for the ignorance of all the “led ones”. That's why I won't help you, Isidora. And none of us will. It is not yet time for everything to be at stake. If we die now, fighting for a handful of Enlightened Ones, even if the time has come for them to KNOW, then after that, there will be no one else to “know” ... I see, I haven’t convinced you, – Sever’s lips were touched by a slight smile. - Yes, you would not be yourself if you convinced ... But I ask you only one thing - go away, Isidora! This is not your time, and this is not your world!
I felt wildly sad... I realized that I had lost here too. Now everything depended only on my conscience - whether I would agree to leave, or whether I would fight, knowing that there was no hope of victory ...
– Well, Sever, I will stay... I may not be as wise as you and your Great Ancestors... but I think if they really were such “Great” ones, you would help us, and they would forgive you. Well, if not, then perhaps they are not so “great” after all!..

College Characteristics

general information

Rostov Art College named after M.B. Grekova is the oldest art educational institution in the south of Russia.
"Greeks", with love and respect, are called students and graduates of the school. In the meaning of this word, we see the veneration of the art of ancient Greece, which is the basis of academic education, and at the same time, a connection with modernity, because Mitrofan Borisovich Grekov, whose name the school bears since 1959, is the first Soviet master of battle painting, an excellent Don landscape painter, bright representative of the 20th century.
The history of the school is multifaceted and rich in its achievements. It dates back to 1895-96, when, with the support of the City Duma, on the initiative of the chairman of the artistic committee of the Artistic Society A.S. Chinenov, a wonderful teacher and artist, drawing classes were created. Over time, drawing and modeling classes have grown into highly professional art school, which gave the country and the world such outstanding artists as S.G. Korolkov is the first and unsurpassed illustrator of the epic novel "Quiet Flows the Don" by M.A. Sholokhov; E.V. Vuchetich - People's Artist, author of monumental sculptural compositions in Berlin, New York and Volgograd; G.I. Shiltyan is an outstanding Russian-Italian artist who worked for many years in the Vatican; G.K. Artyomov is a remarkable Russian-French artist whose works are kept in museums and private collections in France and America; V.A. Pushkarev is an artist and art historian who for more than 20 years headed the State Russian Museum, who preserved and returned to Russia the works of Russian artists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries; folk artists A.I. Laktionov, A.D. Romanychev, N.A. Ponomarev, Yu.V. Zhulyev, N.Ya. Booth, B.M. Lavrenko and others.
Today, as well as more than a century ago, the Rostov Art School stands on the traditions of the Russian realistic school. Before the revolution of 1917 curatorship over educational process was carried out by the Russian Academy of Arts, which laid a solid foundation for academic education, which to this day is an indispensable law of education for all generations of teachers, many of whom are students of schools and institutes of the Russian Academy of Arts. “Well, they teach you on the Don!”, - once said the famous artist, art critic and restorer I.I. Grabar, after looking at the work of students of the school B. Lelkov, V. Lenya, S. Skoptsov, I. Yazev, who came to enter the Moscow Institute of Fine Arts in 1937 (now the Moscow State Academic Art Institute named after V.I. Surikov).
The authority of the RCU as a center of art education in the south of Russia took on special significance in the 1950s and 1960s. Representatives of the republics and autonomous regions of the North Caucasus studied at the school. Returning to their homeland, they formed the core of national art schools in the field. Many of them became honored and folk artists: G. Pashtov, M. Tkhakumashev, T. Lahter, the brothers Hasan and Hussein Sungurov, V. Vaskin, N. Eledzhaev and others.
The school is constantly in the center of the cultural and artistic life of the Don region. Students and teachers of the M.B. Grekova participate in the design of city, regional holidays, festivals, in holding Sholokhov celebrations, actively participate in international, all-Russian and regional competitions, winning prizes.
To develop the creative potential of future artists since 2001, an exhibition-competition "Creators of the 21st century" is held annually in autumn.
Today, paintings and graphic works by young artists, pupils of the RCU, are exhibited in the best exhibition halls of the region and the country. An integral part of the main exposition of the Tretyakov Gallery in the section of contemporary art of the last decade of the twentieth century are the works of our graduates V.N. Koshlyakov and A.S. Ter-Oganyan. In 2004, Alla Shevchenko's graduation painting "Block-post" was added to the permanent exposition of the Central Museum of the Russian Armed Forces in Moscow, and in 2006, as part of the regional exhibition project "Modern Art for the Residents of the Don", RCU presented the audience with an exposition of educational and creative theses from their funds "Grekovtsy - fellow countrymen."
In July 2005, the All-Russian plein air "Quiet Don", dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the birth of Mikhail Sholokhov, was widely covered in the media, organized by the school. Many works from the reporting exhibition immediately replenished the exposition of the local museum of the village of Vyoshenskaya. And in the summer of 2006, the participants of the regional plein-air "At the Don-father of the river ..." spent unforgettable days on the Pukhlyakovsky farm in the Rostov Region, the birthplace of the famous Don writer Anatoly Veniaminovich Kalinin, who turned 95 that year.
Per last years the best of the students visited plein-airs in the Ulyanovsk region, the homeland of the artist A.A. Plastov, in Pereyaslavl-Zalessky, in Karelia, in St. Petersburg, in Saratov, in Sergiev Posad, where the organization and diligence of the Rostovites were noticed, and the work of the “donets-well done”, as they were called, was highly appreciated.
One of the significant events in the life of the technical school is participation in the All-Russian exhibition of diploma works of students of art educational institutions, held in October 2009 in Saratov. The exposition of the works of our students was highly appreciated and was recognized as the best along with the works of students from leading educational institutions in the field of professional art education - the Moscow and St. Petersburg Art Schools, while none of the educational institutions participating in the exhibition received such a number of awards as RHU - 9 diplomas of winners!
RCU is proud of its history and its graduates: painters, sculptors, theater artists, designers.
The professionalism of RCU graduates, who are in demand in the labor market today, is known far beyond the region and the region. They head Children's art schools and art workshops, work as leading production designers of theaters in Rostov-on-Don and the region. RCU graduate in 1985, Nikolai Simonov is the leading stage designer of Moscow theaters, the owner of the highest theatrical awards "Crystal Turandot" and "The Seagull", designed more than 70 performances in the theaters of the country. A graduate of the theater and scenery department in 2004, Tatiana Lapteva received the Golden Eagle Award from the National Academy of Cinematographic Arts for her work on the series Liquidation, having managed to work on creating scenery for such well-known films as Ataman, Sin, Lace . Ekaterina Zyablova, a graduate of the same department, received a diploma from the regional competition Melpomene 2012 for the design of the play Mowgli.

Opening of the icon painting department Specialties Educational activities are carried out in the following specializations: “Well, now that’s all,” said Kutuzov, signing the last paper, and, getting up heavily and straightening the folds of his white plump neck, with a cheerful face, he headed for the door. Popadya, with blood rushing to her face, grabbed the dish, which, despite the fact that she had been preparing for so long, she still did not manage to serve it on time. And with a low bow, she brought it to Kutuzov. Kutuzov's eyes narrowed; he smiled, took her chin in his hand and said: - And what a beauty! Thank you dove! He took a few gold pieces out of his trousers pocket and put them on a dish for her. - Well, how do you live? - said Kutuzov, heading to the room allotted for him. Popadya, smiling with dimples on her ruddy face, followed him into the upper room. The adjutant went out to Prince Andrei on the porch and invited him to breakfast; half an hour later, Prince Andrei was called again to Kutuzov. Kutuzov was lying on an armchair in the same unbuttoned frock coat. He held a French book in his hand, and at the entrance of Prince Andrei, having laid it with a knife, he rolled it up. It was Les chevaliers du Cygne, the composition of madame de Genlis [The Knights of the Swan, Madame de Genlis], as Prince Andrei saw from the wrapper. “Well, sit down, sit down here, we’ll talk,” said Kutuzov. - It's sad, very sad. But remember, my friend, that I am your father, another father ... - Prince Andrei told Kutuzov everything he knew about the death of his father, and about what he saw in the Bald Mountains, passing through them. - To what ... to what they brought! - Kutuzov suddenly said in an excited voice, obviously clearly imagining, from the story of Prince Andrei, the situation in which Russia was. “Give me time, give me time,” he added with an angry expression on his face and, obviously not wanting to continue this conversation that worried him, he said: “I called you in to keep you with me. “I thank your grace,” answered Prince Andrei, “but I’m afraid that I’m no longer fit for headquarters,” he said with a smile that Kutuzov noticed. Kutuzov looked at him questioningly. “And most importantly,” added Prince Andrei, “I got used to the regiment, fell in love with the officers, and the people, it seems, fell in love with me. I would be sorry to leave the regiment. If I refuse the honor of being with you, then believe me ...

Hi all!
Friends, in my works I write a lot about various exhibitions of painting, sculpture, decorative and applied arts, I often introduce you to young and already venerable artists, tell and show you about the creative atmosphere that reigns in the open air, and in one of Articles introduced the creative studio, which trains young and talented future creators. After all, the world of art is an amazing universe, in which many galaxies, moving in the eternal dance of creativity, unite into a beautiful whole, which makes us human and creates a life filled with a bright variety of colors and shades, a life that we cherish, which gives us happiness. multiplied by love, friendship, faith, knowledge and creativity! Once in contact with art, a person seeks to better know the space around him and plunge deeper into inner world own consciousness, the only way to know yourself - knowing through art!
Friends, our distant ancestors began to draw drawings of animals in the caves, the mountains surrounding them, forests and rivers, and of course - women. These drawings tell us that a person has long understood the beauty of nature, and they lived not only for the sake of survival - they began to create, and creativity gave birth to the best and kindest feelings and emotions in people. The first artists were also the first teachers, it was they who began to teach others about beauty and love, because it was in those same rock paintings that, perhaps, there were the very first declarations of love. Creativity gave us life, and art made us people!

Today I will introduce you to a wonderful educational institution - the Rostov Art School named after Mitrofan Borisovich Grekov. Friends, this is the oldest art educational institution in the south of Russia, its history dates back to 1895-1896, when, on the initiative of the chairman of the artistic committee of the Artistic Society A.S. Chinenov, a teacher and artist, drawing classes were created. For more than a century of its existence, from drawing and modeling classes, this educational institution has grown into a widely known and highly professional art school, in which well-known artists and sculptors in our country and the world have grown up: S.G. Korolkov - the first illustrator of the novel "Quiet Don "M.A. Sholokhov; E.V. Vuchetich - People's Artist, author of the monumental sculptural compositions "The Motherland Calls" on Mamaev Kurgan in Volgograd, "The Liberator Warrior" in Treptow Park in Berlin, "Let's Forge Swords into Plowshares" near the UN building in New York, "Rear - front" in Magnitogorsk and others; GI Shiltyan - an outstanding Russian-Italian artist who has been working in the Vatican for many years; GK Artyomov - a wonderful Russian-French artist; V.A. Pushkarev - artist and art critic, who headed the State Russian Museum for more than 20 years; folk artists A.I. Laktionorv; A.D. Romanychev; N.A. Ponomarev and many many other great masters.
Students and graduates of the school in a creative environment with respect and love are called "Greekians", and this, friends, really sounds proud! After all, this educational institution stands on the traditions of the great Russian realistic school, and no new and fashionable trends in art will in any way change this.

You know, friends, no master classes on the Internet and newfangled drawing courses can replace a full-fledged art education. Tell me, for example, how you can learn how to mix paints on the Internet, and color science in painting is one of the foundations of mastery. To create an artistic image in which emotions, feelings, moods and ideas would be expressed, more than one jar of paint will have to be limed in order to learn how to get the right shades and tie them together into a painting.
In painting, it is not enough for the tree to be brown, and the grass to be green and the snow to be white, the shades of colors must be seen, distinguished and harmoniously felt. This can only be taught by a highly qualified and professional teacher who, not in theory, but in practice, will teach you how to create the necessary color. It is these teachers who work at the Rostov Art School named after M.B. Grekov, therefore, friends, so many wonderful artists entered the world of great art from the doors of this educational institution.

In 1959, the school bears the name of the outstanding Soviet battle painter Mitrofan Borisovich Grekov (real name Mitrofan Pavlovich Martyshchenko). M.B. Grekov, a hereditary Don Cossack, was born in the Sharpaevka farm (now the Rostov region), a student of I.E. Repin and F.A. Rubo, lived in Novocherkassk and Moscow. Named after him: Odessa Art College, where the artist began to learn the secrets of painting; as well as the studio of military artists in Moscow, which Mitrofan Borisovich led until his death in 1934.

The Rostov Art School named after M.B. Grekov is located in the city center in an old mansion.

On the facade of the school building there is a memorial plaque with a portrait of M.B. Grekov, an indication of the years of his life and a quote from the artist.

Friends, I invite you to get to know this wonderful educational institution better, and I am sure that our acquaintance will be interesting and informative.
The school trains specialists in four specialties of full-time education:
- painting (by type) - easel painting, theatrical and decorative painting;
- sculpture;
- design (by branches in culture and art);
- theatrical and decorative art (in appearance - artistic and costume design of the performance).
Together with the Don Theological Seminary, an icon-painting department is being prepared soon at the RCU.

You know, friends, I have long wanted to get acquainted with the life of the M.B. Grekov Art School, I really wanted to look at the educational and creative process from the inside, and I am glad that this came true.
Director of the Rostov Art College named after M.B. Grekov Marina Yurievna Bobreshova.

I had a rather interesting conversation with Marina Yurievna, in which I remembered my short creative activity as a graphic designer in the early 80s of the last century, and the director of the educational institution spoke about the activities of the art school.
I can say that there is really enough work at the school, because RCU students and teachers are directly involved in the design of international, all-Russian, regional and city holidays and festivals, in holding Sholokhov celebrations, as well as in competitions in which they necessarily win prizes.
The school is proud that the paintings, graphic works and sculptures of young artists - pupils of the RCU, are exhibited in the best exhibition halls of the region and the country.
Marina Yuryevna Bobreshova ended our conversation by saying that the teachers of the school are proud of their history and their graduates: painters, sculptors, theater artists, designers.

Friends, I invite you to take a walk around the premises of a respected educational institution.

In the corridors of the school, the works of graduates of this educational institution are exhibited, and many of them are now working as teachers here.

Works of graduates of the educational institution.

It was very interesting to visit the educational workshops of the school, and live to see the creative process that the students were passionate about. I am very glad that I was allowed to take pictures of the classes.
I am sure, friends, that such photographs should be viewed with interest, because the creativity in them takes place before your eyes.
The great Auguste Renoir once said an incredibly beautiful phrase: "I love women with my brush." What else can be added to these beautiful words, the photo itself shows everything.

We are approaching the next training workshop, in which students are engaged in new developments in design.

Classes in the educational workshop of design.

Friends, we all remember the phrase from "Eugene Onegin" by A.S. Pushkin: "We all learned a little, Something and somehow", in which the great poet ridicules people who boast of their learning, but in fact turn out to be bad students . So, colleagues, in the Rostov School named after M.B. Grekov they teach professionally the basics of academic art education, and they do it with high quality. And in our case, I would dare to change the phrase of Alexander Pushkin like this: "We all studied fruitfully, while remaining faithful to art."

Let's go further, friends, to the training workshops of the art school.
It is always a pleasure for me to watch the creative process, especially when young people are passionate about it, because they still do not know the boundaries of what is permissible, they have not yet been underestimated, they have not yet mastered all the secrets of technical skill, but they are free and sincere in their fantasies, and in manifestation of open feelings and emotions.

I visited RCU immediately after the Victory Day, and therefore the theme of the Great Holiday could not pass by the students of the educational institution.

Friends, art has no specific boundaries, because it is constantly evolving, just as life gives us new colors and impressions every day, so art constantly surprises us with something new and still little understood, but this is only for now!
The famous American artist, one of the ideologists of abstract expressionism, Jackson Pollock, once said the following phrase: "One critic wrote that my paintings have neither beginning nor end. He did not want to compliment, but he said. It was an excellent compliment."

In the training workshop of the art school.

Friends, painting, as an integral part of art, is not an exact science (although, of course, you need to know some proportions, perspectives, and so on), but still, it is a science of feelings and emotions, because without feelings and emotions you will never create a real work art. Do you know, colleagues, what were the last words Pablo Picasso said before leaving for another world? He said, "Painting has yet to be invented."
Painting is like the wheel of Samsara, it is in perpetual motion, in an eternal cycle and in eternal search and renewal.

Student work.

One of the RCU classrooms.

The French painter, a representative of romanticism, Eugene Fromentin once said the following phrase: "Painting is the art of expressing the invisible through the visible." Friends, great people do not talk nonsense, because in every work any artist wants to reveal his inner and invisible world to all of us, through the image we have seen and realized on his canvas. You just need to want to read it, and then the secret gates to the world of philosophy and consciousness of the master will open before us. And this wonderful world because the master always has something to tell us!

A pleasant creative atmosphere reigns in the workshop of the Rostov Art School.

Friends, on the basis of the school for future applicants there are ten-month preparatory courses, to which those who wish to try their hand at creativity are invited. And it is not surprising that many then consciously enter the wonderful world of fine art.

Students for creative work.

And we, friends, are already in the next workshop, where students are busy painting a portrait of a young girl.

I move on, and now I'm in another workshop where students are trying to comprehend perfection.

"Do not be afraid of perfection, you will never achieve it." Well, friends, Salvador Dali apparently knew the secret of perfection, so he shared his recipe with us, though in a manner peculiar only to him. But still, friends, let's wish the students that they never stop searching for perfection, and then art will continue to develop, admiring and inspiring us all!

In the RHU workshop.

Yes, friends, I look at the work of students, and my heart becomes joyful, because a new wonderful tribe of artists is growing up - a tribe of new creators!

Remember the phrase of Leo Tolstoy: "In art, everything is a little bit." Looking at the photo below, do you still doubt the words of the great writer?

"Painting is not a talkative art, and this, in my opinion, is its considerable merit." You know, friends, looking at such a calm and even businesslike atmosphere that reigns in the studio, Eugene Delacroix was right when he wrote his statement.
Students polish their skills in painting a portrait.

So, friends, practical classes are held by future artists - creativity and only creativity!

And here everything is ready for writing still lifes.

We are with you already in the next creative audience of RCU.

The Rostov Art College named after M.B. Grekov has its own library, in which any student can always find the literature they need.

And now, friends, we will visit the workshop where future sculptors are trained.

The working environment reigns in the workshop.

Friends, you and I made a tour of a wonderful educational institution - the Rostov Art School named after M.B. Grekov. I can confidently say that the tour of the training workshops and acquaintance with the work of the school brought me a lot of pleasant impressions and emotions! I saw and was pleasantly surprised by how the eyes of the students burn during practical classes in educational workshops, who were so passionate about their favorite thing - creativity. And this, in fact, is very pleasing, because many of them are ready to devote their lives to art, and art is the most beautiful thing that makes our life truly beautiful and priceless! I was captivated by the teachers of the educational institution, who daily share their extensive knowledge with students, instilling in them love and respect for art, they daily and painstakingly cultivate the seeds of mastery in young and talented souls, turning them into artists. I really liked, colleagues, that surprisingly calm, professional and businesslike atmosphere, that sincere and cordial atmosphere that hovered in the old walls of the art school, it really sets you in a creative mood!
Friends, in conclusion, I want to express my gratitude to the leadership and teaching staff of the school for allowing me to take photos and videos, as well as to all the students who were sympathetic to my person when I photographed them during practical classes.

Friends, in the title of my work, I wrote the words of Albert Einstein: "The highest art of a teacher is to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge." I am sure that at the M.B. Grekov School, teachers awaken in students joy in creative expression and joy in the knowledge of art!
