ILS 10th graders from section 10M visited two exhibitions at the Primorye Picture Gallery. One featured paintings by Russian artists of the mid-20th century on loan from Moscow’s Tretyakov Gallery and united by the common theme: “Windows into Russia”. Each work includes either a window or an open door, symbolizing a specific view of the world around us and the beauty of our vast country.
“Visiting exhibitions is one of our students’ favorite pastimes,” explains CAS coordinator and teacher of English Marina Kutepova. “Moreover, our high school students are volunteers at the Primorye Picture Gallery and often participate in organizing and holding exhibitions.”
“Visiting museums and galleries is an important part of our students’ aesthetic education,” notes ILS Principal Olga Shevchenko. “It helps students become well-rounded, interesting people, capable of appreciating the beauty of our world.”
