It was attended by residents of many other European
countries, including Belarus.
Minsk Oblast was represented at the event by students of the Department
of Modern Art of the Center for Children's and Youth Creativity of the
Soligorsk region. For children, their parents and teachers, the festival route
ran through the cities of Rezekne, Daugavpils, Riga (Latvia) and Stockholm
(Sweden).
Preparations for the event began long before the start - from February
of this year. The students drew creative works, the teachers organized open-air
activities for the children, told about the countries and cities they were to
visit. Great help in the preparation of children provided parents.
Armed with art supplies, tablets, enthusiasm and creative inspiration,
27 students, 13 parents and 3 teachers (Svetlana Burak, Lorina Nikolaevna Falaleeva,
Angela Savvichna Ruskevich) set off on a journey across the Baltic.
The first event of the festival, the opening of an exhibition of
creative works, took place in Latvia (Rezekne). Participants were greeted by
the city administration, representatives of embassies, the jury, the organizers
of the festival. The works of young artists in Soligorsk took a worthy place in
the overall exhibition. The drawings reflected the national character,
professionally conveyed by technique, imagination and knowledge of their small
homeland. An open-air event was organized for the participants of the festival,
during which children and teachers demonstrated their abilities in the field of
open-air sketches. Residents of Sweden enjoyed watching the work of young artists
in the difficult conditions of drawing in the open air. Stormy applause, the
joy of children, the pride of teachers and parents overwhelmed everyone at the
time of viewing the exhibition and awarding. A total of 27 medals and 30
diplomas of various degrees were added to the piggy bank of the Center for
Creativity.
It is gratifying that members of the jury of the Belarusian Union of
Artists awarded children with diplomas of various degrees for reflection in the
works of historical and cultural values of our country. The teachers who prepared the students
were thanked. Special thanks to the organizers expressed to Snezhana
Mikhaylovna Koltun, director of the Center for Children's and Youth Creativity
of the Soligorsk region.
Unforgettable impressions and a lot of positive emotions were taken with
them by the Soligorians from the International Festival of Children's and Youth
Creativity “ART-PANORAMA Baltika” to their hometown.
