The school of the young museologist returns to the Odesa Fine Arts Museum!
This year we decided to focus on practice and that is why we invited the artist Anna Kyrylenko to hold the School of Young museologist. Now OFAM has its art school!
In the course “150 years of contemporary art” we will learn how contemporary art has developed in the world, and learn to draw in different styles. Do not imitate artists, but discover new ones.
The school starts on January 30, then we will meet every Sunday.
