Student from UrGAHU wins honor at All-Russian Ceramic Workshop titled "Red Circle - 5 Elements"
In the heart of the Republic of Khakassia, a significant event in the world of ceramics took place - the All-Russian Ceramic Symposium 'Red Circle - 5 Elements'. This symposium, held in Efremkino, gathered ceramic artists from various cities across Russia, including Moscow, Vladivostok, Tomsk, Novosibirsk, and Yekaterinburge.
The symposium was themed around 'Fifth Element' and focused on the depiction of 'Faces of Elementals: Soul's Happiness'. Varvara Alexyunina, a student from Ural State Architecture University, impressed the jury with her work, earning her the third place. Her piece depicted spirits of wind, fire, water, and earth, with the main one being the soul.
Varvara expressed her gratitude towards the organizers and jury from Krasnoyarsk for appreciating her skills. During the symposium, participants not only showcased their work but also exchanged experiences and created unique art objects.
In addition to the symposium, the event marked a significant anniversary, making it a jubilee celebration. Symposium participants took the opportunity to visit local attractions, including the natural monument Sunduki and the Path of Ancestors.
It is worth noting that the Republic of Khakassia has a rich cultural heritage and a history of traditional crafts, including pottery. Events like the ceramic symposium help in promoting these local traditions, supporting local artisans, and fostering a sense of community among artists.
Interestingly, the 'Red Circle - 5 Elements' symposium was not directly connected to a large-scale project titled "Sergei Esenin as a Representative of Silver Age Poetry", recently initiated by the "Main Prospect". The project, however, shares a connection with the symposium as it focuses on Silver Age Poetry, with Sergei Esenin as a key figure.
Despite the lack of specific information about Varvara Alexyunina's personal thoughts about the "Sergei Esenin as a Representative of Silver Age Poetry" project, or the symposium participants' experiences regarding the "Main Prospect" project, it is clear that these events contribute significantly to the promotion of Russian cultural heritage, the exchange of knowledge, and the creation of unique art.
Varvara Alexyunina, in her appreciation to the organizers, emphasized that the learning and exchange of experiences at the 'Red Circle - 5 Elements' symposium were crucial for her personal development and growth as an artist. Beyond the symposium, her education and self-development were further nurtured as she immersed herself in the rich cultural heritage of Khakassia, including visiting local attractions, thus broadening her horizons and enriching her art.
