The "Puzzle" workshop at the National Centre RUSSIA continued the series of open lessons and became part of the educational program of the architectural exposition "The Birth of Scale." It was held on March 14 and brought together both beginner and experienced artists.

Under the guidance of Yelena Durnovo, a teacher at the START Children's Art School, participants aged 10 to 16 explored unexpected artistic techniques and created their own unique works. The session included a playful element, Yelena Durnovo noted.

"During the workshop, we interpret the famous puzzle game on paper. Each participant ultimately creates something of their own. The children draw puzzles on paper, come up with and present unexpected solutions to such a seemingly simple game as a puzzle. They create colorful textures and fill their puzzle with color. For some, it may end up consisting, for example, of drawn pieces of fabric or other materials," said Yelena Durnovo.

In professional terms, this is called "colored graphic textures." Such activities help children develop their imagination, the instructor noted.

"This practice enhances imagination, the ability to work with color, use markers, and shape various images and forms," added Yelena Durnovo.

The series of open lessons will continue. The program is designed for those who wish to develop their artistic skills. Attendance is free, but prior registration is required on the website of the National Centre RUSSIA russia.ru.
