A few words about the project:

There is a history of world art culture, there are masterpieces - iconic works that have entered the history of art. Looking at them, creating his own work, the student learns the history of art, studies various visual techniques, learns the basics of artistic composition, remembers the object that served as the basis for his work and expands not only his intellect, but also his view of the world order as a whole, creating his own, A LITTLE ART STORY. The technique was developed for teaching children. In practice, it turned out that it is interesting for adults as well.
