The graphic works of MA students of the Department of Fine Arts were put on display at the Faculty of Fine Arts. In 45 works, the students depicted mainly human figures, trying to accurately present the anatomy and character of the person.
Ara Hakobyan, the Dean of the Faculty of Fine Arts congratulated the students on the occasion. He said most of the works were done with a professional approach.
He stressed the importance of the exhibition saying the works were done with realistic knowledge which is a serious step in the deep and difficult world of art.
“During the Renaissance period, the great masters taught their pupils portrait painting which was viewed as an important step of self-affirmation. The portrait was expected to show the inner essence of the subject from the artist's point of view,” he said adding that the Faculty is ready to support all students on their way to professional development.
Artashes Keshishyan, Professor at the Chair of Fine Arts, says the students were able to show their knowledge, skills and abilities in their works.
“Unlike BA students who acquire knowledge and perform academic tasks during the years of study, MA students develop their creative abilities and skills. All works were painted in the studio, with our constant support. I followed the entire process, gave advice but never imposed my opinion on the students,” he said. The professor adds that many of them are engaged in pedagogical activities and teach in schools.
Misak Melkonyan, Deputy Head of the Chair of Fine Arts, says the assignment-product idea was intertwined in the works which reflect compositional thinking.
"I'm very excited because these pictures were done with deep academic knowledge. You must use and improve your knowledge all the time,” he said.
MA student Gagik Avetisyan has five paintings presented at the exhibition. “We depicted the characters with sophisticated figures for them to be viewed not only as works by students but also as separate compositions. The most difficult is to paint a human figure trying to accurately present the anatomy and character,” he said talking to old.aspu.am.
Gagik Avetisyan has had several solo exhibitions but he considers his greatest achievement his pedagogical activity. He is a teacher of painting and intends to take a postgraduate course.
