The present, the past and the future of the country through the eyes of children. Unique archive works - children's drawings, some of which were created in the early XX century - will be presented at the RUSSIA EXPO. The works vividly illustrate the life of that time, details of everyday life, accurately observed by young authors. Meanwhile, the drawings of today's schoolchildren are devoted to the achievements of Russian scientists, cities of the future and space exploration.

The exposition Little Creators of a Great Motherland, which will be opened on January 16 in the House of Culture of VDNH, includes 48 works from the collection of the International Children's Drawing Collection of the Russian Academy of Education and the works of the winners of the All-Russian Children's Drawing Contest Russia of the Future.

"By analyzing drawings of different years, it is possible not only to look through the eyes of children at the past and future of our great Motherland, but also to learn better what is interesting and concerning for a little person, how they respond to various events and the world around them, how their aesthetic perception is changing and their artistic abilities are developing", - said Olga Yuryevna Vasilyeva, President of the Russian Academy of Education, Academician of the RAE.
