By the organization of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, the master class was conducted for the teachers and students who study or teach painting at the Nakhchivan city Children’s Music, Art and Crafts school named after A.Cavid on February 6.
Before the master class, Leyla Alimardanova, Head of the sector of music development and work with educational institutions of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, stated that Nakhchivan was declared the capital of Islamic culture for 2018 at the VI Conference of Ministers of Culture of Islamic Countries held in Baku on October 14, 2009. On this occasion, the ministry and cultural institutions will hold a number of events. Today's master class is also held under the motto "Nakhchivan - The Capital of Islamic Culture - 2018".
Then, Hokume Mammadli, the director of the Nakhchivan State Painting Gallery, a member of the Artists' Union of Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic and Ali Mamiyev, the teacher of Sharur City Art School named after Bahruz Kangarli conducted master classes.
Hokume Mammadli, the director of the Nakhchivan State Painting Gallery, a member of the Artists' Union of Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic said at the lesson that in our independent state, excellent conditions for healthy and comprehensive growth of children have been created. Drawing associations in schools are also important in identifying talents and abilities that are hidden in children. The main purpose of the master class is to instill a sense of interest, love and pride in children in the rich culture of our country, Islamic-Turkish architecture and historical monuments, spiritual wealth, artistic works and everything created beautifully in life.
In addition to our national culture and art, it is one of the main issues for children to learn, to perceive, to master the artistic culture created by the peoples of the world. It is also important to teach children painting, graphics and sculpture genres, working techniques, how to use tools and materials. It was noted that the main purpose of today's lesson is to direct the children to art, to inform them about the artist's thoughts, feelings, imaginations and the imaginary expression of the attitude to the surrounding world.
Ali Mamiyev, the teacher of Sharur City Art School named after Bahruz Kangarli, said that the painting has a wide range of opportunities for students to study the principles and methods of realistic painting on paper, and to create aesthetic pleasure.
Experiences show that students should not only be satisfied with theoretical knowledge and they should also be able to apply it easily during drawing. First, painting classes should start with a still-life, and then more complicated ones. To illustrate the student's talent, knowledge and abilities, the still-life should be clear, interesting and purposeful. The teacher should inform about contents, structure, nature, its character, singularity and the method of the work before the class starts. Learners should also be able to find and correct mistakes in drawing.
At the end of the master class, the questions of the teachers and members of the drawing association were answered.
