Inside the Saint Petersburg academy of art, excellent documentary.

[@ubergeraldine]

I really wanted to study like this when I was young but in the 70s, UK, classical training was frowned upon and the litany “everyone is an artist” was bandied across the class and everyone encouraged to do kindergarten art. It was so depressing.

[@ruturajwaidande]

imagine studing where greatest artists like Repin, nicolai fechin, valintine sorov, and nicolai blokhin graduated 😩

[@rinwoo04]

it would be insanely awesome.

[@МихаилКондратьев-л9н]

А представь себе ,что академия вышвырнула Крамского,Васильева,а ранее Федотова,то получается такой минус в заслугах.Эх если бы во главе Академии в своё время встал Крамской.......

[@AlexPerez_contemporary_painter]

I really dont know

[@rociolahere6637]

Now hard cuz of war and imigration

[@manasik6108]

you have to give entrance exam.

[@phoenixsasha2727]

YOu have to basiclly be already amazing. Children start training from age 5 all the way to 19 to develop a skill level to even qualify to apply, let alone get in.

[@anima6035]

​@@phoenixsasha2727 is there an age limit? Do they accept older students? Im in my 30s and would love to go there.

[@kokoshigirl3723]

[@romantiquedrawingsart6928]

[@phoenixsasha2727]

[@ohaiocitizen]

It might be toned paper

[@damatlisfranco1216]

Algo cambio por lo que puedo notar en los vídeos Repin jamás planteo un dibujo de esa forma

[@МихаилКондратьев-л9н]

Академию превратили в артель самобытных талантов.Короче говоря"академический лубок".

[@Peter4MedicalEnglish]

I would very much appreciate the time and resources dedicated to observational drawing, painting and sculpture, though I would be a little worried at the spirit of conformity. Does the atmosphere in the school show how authoritarianism runs through Russian society?

[@dmitryivanoff2799]

If you are a conformist by nature , you will conform. It boils down to who you are.

[@anima6035]

Its education, you follow the 'rules' and then when you leave you can do whatever you like, its just a few years of conformity. Why go to a school of such prestige and then disagree with the teachers who are teaching such an old method?

[@MFDOOOOM]

It's because of morons like this guy so desperate for creativity without even knowing the rules, that the state of art academies in the world is so horrible right now and it's pretty pathetic that they don't even realize it.

[@ubergeraldine]

First you learn the disciplines of drawing/painting then you develop your own style, then you create your own abstraction which is an extension of your own experiences. This is where you start. It’s a teaching academy.

[@dustyrustymusty3577]

What you call conformity I call discipline.
