Rating of the best art schools in Voronezh in 2024

Today, the professions associated with the availability of artistic skills are becoming one of the most popular in the world. Graphic designers, cartoonists, illustrators, graphic designers - these professions are at their peak. And in order to master them, it is enough to be able to draw.

At the same time, the ability to draw is useful in everyday life. The skills acquired at an art school will help you take beautiful photos (after all, a person understands the exposure, the horizon), always look stylish (the skill of combining colors will help here). In addition, drawing develops both hemispheres of the brain, fine motor skills, relieves stress and helps to relax. Besides, it is a good pastime and also a hobby. It is no coincidence that earlier people from the high society knew how to draw and understood painting without fail.

However, the desire to draw is not enough, you need to get these skills, which means choosing an art school. How not to be mistaken with the choice?

Criterias of choice

You can get an art education using the following methods:

• public school (it is on the balance sheet of the city, classes in it are free) - this type of educational institution is suitable for children from 7 to 11 years old (there are age criteria) and for those who have passed the entrance exams, while classes are held only in groups according to a predetermined graphics;
• private (owned by a private person) - classes in it are paid, everyone can enroll regardless of age, you can choose your type of classes (individually, in a group), as well as a convenient time;
• private teacher - classes are held for a fee, all attention is paid only to you, but at the same time there is no opportunity to work in a team, take part in exhibitions, track progress in comparison with the rest;
• online classes - a similar method is suitable for those who already have basic drawing skills, since an online teacher will not be able to deliver the correct technique.

However, no matter what method of obtaining information was chosen, there are general rules that will allow you to get high-quality artistic drawing.

1. Personnel composition.

The level of training will depend on how strong the teachers are.

2. Suggested directions of painting.

There is a standard list of disciplines offered by art schools (drawing, painting, composition) and there are narrowly focused programs (fashion drawing, sketch, manga). If you have a goal to get "skills for yourself", you should take a closer look at the programs of interest.

3. The location of the school, the availability of parking spaces.

The result will directly depend on how convenient it is to get to school. If the journey takes a long time, most likely such activities can quickly get bored.

4. Having contact with the teacher.
5. The teacher has his own methods that will allow you to get the result faster.
6. Participation of students in competitions and exhibitions.

Demonstrating your own capabilities will help you track progress as well as provide additional incentive.

7. Difficulty of entrance exams.

Upon admission to a municipal art school, you must pass entrance exams:

• still life - correctly convey the proportions, color, location of the object in space;
• composition - you need to independently invent and depict a plot on a voiced topic.

The higher the level of the school, the greater the requirements for applicants. Therefore, if the child could not pass the exams, you should choose an easier (or private) school and enroll in it. If there is a desire to study only at that school, then you may have to study additionally.
