Moscow State Academic Art Institute. IN AND

Igor Emmanuilovich Grabar, a truly iconic representative of the world of painting in Russia, was able in the 30s of the last century to bring together talented masters and revive the traditions of the Moscow art school. He breathed new life into the university, which is now called the Moscow State Academic Art Surikov.

Brief historical facts

In 1843, a school was established in Moscow, which grew out of the drawing classes of admirers of pictorial art. Representatives of different strata of society could study in it. Serfs who received the title of artist could count on being freed from serfdom. This right was secured by a separate decree of the Emperor of Russia.

In the 19th century, in the second half, it was transformed into the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture. After some time, it began to officially release persons with secondary education.

During the revolutionary upheavals of 1917, it was not closed, but was transformed into workshops, connecting it with the Stroganov School. Further transformation was carried out in the fall of 1920, when all art workshops were merged into the All-Union Art Technical Workshops (VKHUTEMAS).

In 1927, another reorganization was carried out, VKhUTEIN (All-Union Artistic Technical Institute) appeared. But the graphics faculty remained an independent structure, retaining the base from the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture. When the Moscow Institute of Fine Arts was created in 1934, this structure was taken as a basis.

Heyday, war, evacuation

In 1937, I. E. Grabar was appointed head of the institute, who managed in a short period to restore in it the best traditions of artists and sculptors of the Moscow school.

Since the beginning of the war, the institute has been actively involved in helping the front, which was in dire need of propaganda materials. Apart from the institute, there were no other structures in Moscow ready to carry out such orders.

With the approach of the enemy to Moscow, it was decided to evacuate the institute to Samarkand, which began in October 1941. The re-evacuation became possible at the end of 1943, when it became clear that the victory of the USSR over Nazi Germany was inevitable.

In 1948, a large building was transferred to the Institute in Moscow at the address: Tovarishchesky lane, house 30. It is still located in it now. The Institute was named after Vasily Ivanovich Surikov in 1948.

Art higher education institutions in Moscow have always been on a special account. Political changes and economic upheavals in the country do not make the competition in them less: the love of art wins over any thoughts about daily bread and financial gain. And this is despite the fact that only a few graduates manage to become professionally successful, gain success, and with it prosperity. However, the fact remains that there are usually half as many vacancies in such universities as those who want to take them.

talents and fans

As in the case of theater universities, when entering an art school, an applicant will be searched for the presence of a certain spark, which is commonly called talent. Indeed, after all, everyone can be able to hold a pencil or brush in their hands, but only one person out of a hundred or a thousand is capable of creating something unique.

It is not possible to give an absolutely precise definition of the concept of "talent": everything in art is too subjective. Unfortunately, any creative profession depends entirely on the opinions of viewers and critics. That is why many experts advise: before crossing the threshold of an art university, it is worth considering whether you can spend many years of your life in obscurity, bitterly regretting that your work did not make the proper impression on the public. After all, the whole play of colors, the clarity of lines, the consistency of style in a work of art are created with only one single purpose - to shock the world and express oneself.

Professional prospects for future artists, designers, architects are rather illusory. The cost of their work can vary greatly - everything will depend on the capricious and fickle fairy luck. , the ability to find a common language with the customer today is no less important professional quality.

Preparation for admission to an art university

The list of art universities in the capital is not very long, but getting an education within their walls is considered prestigious all over the world. The high level of teaching in them was set by the founding fathers of these educational institutions. Among them are the Moscow State Academic Art Institute named after V.I. Surikov, the Moscow Art and Industry University named after V.I. S. G. Stroganova, Russian Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture, All-Russian State Institute of Cinematography. S. A. Gerasimova and the graphic arts department of the Moscow State Pedagogical University. Without fail, it is necessary to mention the St. Petersburg State Academic Institute of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture. I. E. Repin - this university, which has centuries-old traditions, was founded in the middle of the 18th century under the patronage of Empress Elizabeth Petrovna. According to the Charter then in force, they studied there for 15 years. Today, the official term for obtaining education has been reduced, but in order to become a student, an applicant will literally have to spend years preparing for admission.

Each of these universities has its own art school or preparatory courses. Education and training in them takes from several months to two years. It is worth, however, to make a reservation that officially no one gives their graduate guarantees for admission. Moreover, at the preparatory courses at the Surikov Institute, teachers bluntly warn that no concessions to "their" exams You don't have to wait - everyone comes on a common basis. Preparatory classes, as a rule, are paid, not to mention the fact that the applicant has to provide himself with auxiliary materials - paints, brushes, pencils, papers, stretchers, canvases ... The price can be different: for a tube of paint, for example, - from 10 up to 1000 rubles A subframe costs at least 2000 rubles.

In addition, when entering an art university, it is very important to take into account one subtlety: when analyzing applications, the greatest preference is given to those applicants who either graduated from specialized art schools (for example, Children's Art School No. 1 named after V. A. Serov on Prechistenka, Moscow Academic Art School Lyceum of the Russian Academy of Arts), or have a secondary vocational education in art schools (Moscow State Academic Art School in Memory of 1905 or Moscow Art School (College) of Applied Arts). This is done because this kind of higher education does not tolerate random people who suddenly have a burning desire to be artists, restorers or architects. The competition between applicants is quite tough, and the best of the best should be accepted, so it is necessary to make plans for admission in advance, taking into account your own capabilities.

Specialty exams

First, you should decide in which direction you would like to apply your creative impulses. The profession of an artist has several varieties, for example, a painter, a restorer, a theater artist. The number of specialties that can be obtained at an art university include such as a sculptor, architect, art critic, art teacher, feature film artist, costume film designer, animation film and computer graphics artist. And the first thing you will be asked upon admission is to provide creative work for a preview in accordance with the chosen path. As a rule, these are drawings: a portrait and a figure of a person, painting - a portrait with hands, compositions. Those who pass this selection are admitted to the entrance examinations. Examinations in the specialty are held in workshops (with the participation of sitters) for several days. Special items include:

• drawing (two tasks): a portrait and a standing nude figure (on paper with a graphite pencil); paper is issued directly on the spot or the applicant uses his own, marked with the seal of the selection committee;
• painting: one portrait with the hands of a seated sitter (on canvas with oil paints or tempera, gouache, watercolor - upon admission to the graphic faculty); canvas up to 70 cm in size on the large side, the applicant must bring with him;
• composition: work on a given topic can be in any technique.

Then the exam papers are reviewed and marks are given. If the number of points scored is enough to pass through the competition, then you will have an essay on a given topic, history (oral), history of Russian artistic culture and, in some cases, a foreign language. If, nevertheless, it was not possible to enroll in a full-time department, paid departments are at your service, the average cost of studying in which sometimes reaches $ 4,500-5,000.

Ranking of architectural and art universities

The Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation approved the rating of higher educational institutions based on the results of their activities. The collection of data to determine the ranking of universities and specialties has been carried out since the middle of the 2004 academic year.

When determining the rating, many parameters were taken into account: the quality of the teaching staff, the number of students of various forms of education, the presence of students from other countries; the volume of scientific research, publishing, providing students with hostels, dispensaries, etc.

Discussion

"..love of art conquers any thoughts about daily bread and financial gain."
This phrase is annoying.
For a person who loves art, no financial difficulties are important.
Remember Van Gogh.
He only sold one painting in his entire life.

I understand that in the capital they don’t really like provincials, but after the 11th grade, where is it better to enter? if I just graduated from art school. We did not paint in oils or nudes. At most, these are the plaster heads of Antinous, Venus, etc. and hip. figures. You need to go to some technical school or college to start, right? what would they teach me to draw other things there? And is it even possible to do so?
Me desirable about Peter.
Thank you for your attention.

I'm going to enter Surikov next year. I'm interested in the hostel. Living conditions, the cost of living. Thank you.

I study at a provincial university at the Faculty of Fine Arts. I would very much like to communicate with students of the capital's art universities

Yeah... Interesting.... I will say one thing - If you really have a desire, everything will be OK!!! Do it!!!

The feeling that the author is trying with all his might to discourage the desire to enter an art university - oh, how bad everything is, hard, futile, almost the way to the bottom of life! It is because of such advisers that talented guys become managers and economists, and then they drag the strap all their lives, cursing fate.

after the 9th grade, I'm going to go to an art college. will it be easier to go to college after that?
