Hello, my name is Ksyusha! I am 14 years old. I'm in the 7th grade. I love painting and hanging out with my friends. For summer holidays, my family and I often go to Lake Shira. The water in this lake is salty and good for health. It also has a very beautiful nature surrounding.
My painting pictures the Svyato-Pokrovsky Cathedral - an architectural monument of the 17th century, the oldest surviving stone building in Krasnoyarsk. It belongs to the Yenisei school of the Siberian baroque. First, your attention is attracted by the cathedral. It looks pure white, but it actually has a lot of different shades. In the foreground, I have pictured some pigeons, as there are always a lot of them there.

This building resembles «Stolby» – beautiful stone rocks that can be found near Krasnoyarsk and are one of its symbols. The museum always hosts interesting exhibitions and the building itself is a symbol of contemporary art for me.

My drawings show the world through my eyes, through my inspiration. It might seem that these are ordinary places, but this is totally different for me.
Well, enough about me, how about you? What does the word “art” mean to you? Is it important in your life? I hope, one day we will meet and discuss it. See you soon!

Hello everyone! My name is Yaroslav. I live in Russia in a very beautiful city called Krasnoyarsk. I have a very busy life. I go to art school, music school and break dance! I love reading, composing songs, collecting Lego, crafting from wood, riding a bicycle, rollerblading, skateboarding, ice skating, sledding, but most of all I love a delicious food))). That's why I also love cooking. I have an elder brother and an elder sister, we all go in for break dance :) I love animals, we have a cat Tosya. She is very smart, can follow different commands: "sit", "give a paw", "give another paw", "voice", but her favorite command is "yum-yum" (go eat!).
Now I'll tell you about my city. We have a very green city. The entire city is surrounded by mountains covered with dense forests (wild animals live in the forests: brown bears, wolves, foxes, hares, lynxes, snakes, squirrels, woodpeckers, owls and many others). The highest mountain is the extinct volcano "Kara-Dag", which the local people call "Black Sopka". This volcano can be seen from all points of the city. When all the snow has already melted in the city, it still lies on the volcano. In the middle of our city, the powerful Yenisei River flows, dividing the city into 2 banks: left and right. Kara-Dag is located on the right bank. We aslso have islands in the middle of the Yenisei. The largest is called Tatyshev Island, where we go to relax and play sports. There are many sports and playgrounds there, in winter you can ski and ice skate, play hockey, in summer it's open for rollerblading, bicycles, skateboards, wakeboards, scooters and summer skiing. You can also use boats, fly kites, play table tennis, football, frisbee. There is even a helipad on this island. But the main feature is the presence of a large number of gophers and ducks. You can even see foxes in distant parts of the island. People constantly feed the gophers, and the gophers completely lost their fear of man. They fearlessly approach people and beg for food, sometimes even too brazenly, climbing into bags and pockets! But we must remember that these are still wild animals and be careful with them!
I have drawn everything that I told you about: a fragment of Tatyshev Island, a bay of the Yenisei River, a rescue boat, our mountains, and our "Fujiyama", which can be seen from all points of the city!
If you are interested in learning more about our city, about our country and culture, please, write to me: b-boyyarkus "at" yandex "dot" ru, I will be happy to answer all your questions or simply make new friends! :)
