it truly is an art school, every room feels like a work of art, i feel incredibly lucky to even see it
This!!!!^^
"Drawing is always suffering" is so felt. It's the last few weeks of the semester for us and I'm dying over how many projects are due.

Why did you cutt your hair?
You looked like a princess with it...
Hair is like a jewerly if we cut it the jewerly will shine less.
@landreeall mind your own business
Real
So glad this still gets taught. Great to see people actually drawing and painting from life. Here in the UK we have a contest on TV called, "Portrait Artist of The Year", which, don't get me wrong, there are some great paintings produced, but most of the time, the painters/competitors, take a photo of the famous sitter (whomever it may be, some actor or celeb') and then spend all their time copying the photo from their Apple ipads. The sitter sits there for 4 hours while a semicircle of people sit looking at their ipads behind their easels. Only once did I see one of the finalists have to sit and paint studies from life (this one was a commission to paint a famous opera singer. The oil studies she produced were barely recognisable. When the opera singer saw the life studies you could see she was visibly shocked, disappointed. On seeing the finished portrait the opera singer said she hoped the finished painting would be better than the studies! The finished portrait was done, you guessed it, from an ipad/photo) The sitter may as well just turn up, let them all take a couple of photos each, then leave. It is certainly not how I did life-drawing classes! Times change, eh? Art colleges and academies in the UK teach very little of the "traditional" art skills such as are seen in this video, everything is contemporary, conceptual and/or digital etc, which I agree with that being taught, as I do like contemporary art but, not at the expense of losing these ways of working. Figurative artists/students have the hardest time in art colleges in the UK, simply because there are so few tutors who understand or are proficient in these time honoured ways of working.
I wish this video was longer. Cheers for posting. x
models are expensive and not that many around that really know how do still life
I always find it funny when people whine about stuff like this. Steve Huston works from photos and he's a genius and very much a traditional painter. Sargent used photos. And the idea that the old masters WOULDN'T use photos is madness. "consistent lighting and I don't have to pay models for the next two months!?" would probably be their reaction. A happy medium is fantastic of course, I'll always prefer working from a live model but I'm not made of money. Most traditional artists these days don't make anywhere near a living salary from it so how are they supposed to pay 50 bucks an hour for a private model? In college yeah of course we only had actual models (like here) but that's because I wasn't paying for it, I was living off 10cent noodles from Tesco, so yeah.... outside of college I worked from photos (like all of these artists do outside of college)
And it's not a lack of tutors, it's a lack of interest. In this day and age, traditional style art colleges are seen as bad investments, that's it really
@@ferretart I don't think people should never use photos, as you said, there are huge advantages. But ultimately I think any well-rounded artist should be able to work from life as proficiently as they would from a photo.
Life drawing classes are compulsory in any art school worth its salt, no matter the specialization. Practicing from photos is adviced for artists who don't have the means to hire models, but I agree that using them as shorthands for finished works will tremendously stump the learning process.
I studied a career mainly focused on digital and we did many life drawing classes! It's incredibly important for any artist to work from life
I looooove those old Soviet paintings depicting everyday life
I’m an art student studying in England and it feels good to see fellow art students across the globe, their practises and life. Interesting!
Truly the best in the world... unbelievable. So refreshing to see serious painting study on social media.
Great art is made by those who study art. The appreciation and emulation of work from the past is what imbues any piece with it's treasure. Viewing art is like treasure hunting. Beach combing for gems.
I love these old artschools where the architecture is beautiful and its so atmospheric must be beautiful to work in, I hate all the modern art schools where its just sleek blank walls of a boring old building. Ur school is like the dream.
Your vlogs are always so relaxing and interesting. 7:55 It’s nice to see that technology can help foreign students to study here even though they don’t know Russian. Being in a place surrounded by art made by great students is so inspiring.
😌❤️
I managed to find the names of some of the artists shown here!!
11:30 - Veselova Nina Leonidovna and the name of the painting is «THE AWARDED TEACHER»
11:43 on the left «STUDENTS» by Sergei Nikolaevich Shilnikov
11:48 on the far right is Levitin Anatoly Pavlovich and the painting is «EXCHANGE OF STAKHANOV EXPERIENCE»
12:18 bottom right is «ON WORLD WATCH» by Atsmanchuk Alexander Pavlovich
thank you so much
I have the undying urge to attend an art school, I’m a teenager and hope I can become just as talented as you all
Картины на выставке просто великолепны: полотна как ниточка между разными поколениями. Ощущаешь себя частью русской культуры, есть в этом особая торжественность.🎆
Все кадры, каждый уголок Академии прекрасен, но еще один фаворит в этом видео - миска с желатином.🙈
Всё такое родное, своё.😁😁😁
Gosh I love this video. It was fascinating. You've done something great in making it - I'm confident it will inspire plenty of people now and in future.
Of course what we really need to do is to ensure that artists and the creative can live a decent life after university. Once we get past existential problems of survival (and barbaric warfare) maybe it will be a golden age for artists. Let's hope this day comes quickly!
idk if it's the cold weather or the lack of sunlightor something else but the amount of actually good artistic original pieces made by Russians that I've seen throughout the years is just impressive 🤨
Если честно, как по мне, в плане того как он выглядит, твой уник легко переплюнул любой другой вуз. Все эти мелкие проходы, как будто тоннели в потайные комнаты, а спортзал вообще что-то уникальное
хоть я и пишу комментарии очень редко, но так захотелось сказать вам теплых слов
спасибо вам большое за ваш труд. ютуб канал просто потрясающий, не передать словами как вы вдохновляете меня!
благодаря вам и вашим видео я увидела что учеба может быть другой, работа в любимом деле может быть другой! увидев это великолепие и мастерство студентов я так загорелась идеей перепоступить в этот университет, хоть всего это довольно импульсивно и не обдуманно (буквально в этом году поступила в строгановку сразу после 11-го класса)
спасибо вам большое что вы есть! творческих успехов вам!♥️
Спасибо Вам огромное за добрые слова❤️ Очень Вас понимаю! Сама поступила в суриковский в 17 сразу после школы, всегда смотрела в сторону академии, но не думала что это возможно для меня) оказалось нет ничего невозможного))) Желаю Вам удачи!!!❤️
this looks like such an amazing place, it's so interesting to see inside ❤
❤️
Incredibly inspiring to see so many artists put so much effort into improvement. It's so interesting to see how these academies teach and help people learn. Thank you so much for sharing :)
Wow, absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for sharing this so everyone else in other places can see it.
Thank you for sharing your amazing experiences at your beautiful art academy! I feel so lucky to get to see it. x
Thanks for showing all this. This really inspires. 🙏🙏
❤️
Oh My God. I love all your magical videos!
❤❤❤
Omg it wasn’t long enough but all smiles thank you so much for sharing please vlog more
Thank You!,...Thank You!...Thank You!...The Best Art academy in the World...Such an historicl and Special Place,...I was Crying at the last part with all the amazing, Beautiful paintings and Drawings...Admiration and Respect from Texas...❤
Szenzációs volt a filmed minden pillanata .
Köszönöm , hogy láthattam.
❤
i really love your videos they always make me so motivated to paint and make art thank you
thanks so much for sharing . that live portraits are great 🤩
Эх... видосик бы! Соскучился по этой умиротворенной созерцательности.
Thank you so much for making your videos, I always love watching them ❤️ I'm looking forward to the next one
❤️❤️❤️
Советские работы такие крутые. Атмосферные и живые.
Wow! This is so amazing, thank you for sharing this inspiring vlog!!😌
I love how "unorganized" some of the rooms are. Looks like home to me 😊
It somehow looks exactly how I imagine a "perfect" art school, everything is so dreamy it's hard to believe this place exists 🥰
I envy artists who managed to attend the Academy. Long ago I met the daughter of Nicolai Fechin, who studied there. We became good friends. She was a very sweet lady. She told me about how seriously the Russians pursued art academics. I taught myself to paint by copying Fechins works.
Having had a brief brush with 'art education' in the UK back in the 1970s, and immediately rejecting it as rubbish, I can't tell you how interesting this is. Had there been anything like this available, who knows what level I would be at today!
Thank you for the visit. Great school. 👍
What a place to be and what beautiful art! Thanks for sharing this with us
❤️❤️❤️
This place is beautiful omg! It felt like a dream!
I love that no matter how old, classical, or important an art school is, it always has missing floor tiles, holes in walls and ancient bowls used for mixing chemicals XD I have a question: are all your painting/drawing classes about realistic figure/scene portrayal? Based on the fragments you show all students have a similar composition, style and subject. Also most of the older artworks shown on the exhibition look like they were made by the same artist (I'm aware they weren't). Do you have any "freestyle" classes?
Thank you for showing the chapel inside also - I love religious icons and notice there are lots on the academy walls in classrooms etc. Some say in art history that the very "grand" style of russian painting from the late 1800's was very influenced by iconography of saints etc. Either way, I love watching these day-to-day experiences inside the academy and wonder what it would have been like for students all throughout its history.
keep vlogging please!! I LOVE your videos
❤❤❤
Inspiring video. And learned something new!❤❤❤❤
❤️
i always waitng for your vlogs and i love itt 💗💗
❤️❤️❤️
Your channel is the fave of mine❤
Wow! Those paintings from the soviet era were beautiful! I had no idea!
you did it for me,😂❤️ beautiful video, thanks for showing the academy, I follow you with interest and esteem, you inspire me alot🎨
Molte Grazie!)))))❤️
Dreams never die 💫all the historical knowledge etc❤
At our institute we have a completely different composition😮 thanks for the explanation!!!
🤪аа наконец-то... мне это было нужно, я заждался
god to be able to walk through those halls would be so amazing.
God it’s my dream ❤ I love your videos so much ^^
❤️❤️❤️
لم ارسم منذ فترة بشكل جاد ...اشتقت للرسم الجاد
nice artblog, you got my subscription
As esthetic as always, thanks for the video
❤️
Hi Ksenia, I hope you'll go on with your vlog for foreseeable future. There is narrative with some people that the Old m
asters were using various optical devices, camera Lucida, obscura, etc, how otherwise they could be so good? Yes, this sort of ignorance does exist. David Hockney even wrote a book "proving "that the Old Masters used certain devices,etc. However, your vlogs show that Academy students don't use cany devices or computers to achieve good results. Incidentally, a few years ago Hockney had an exhibition at the Royal Academy in London. In terms of colour it was like Disneyland in London. Probably old age decline. (There is no Disneyland I Britain, you have to go France).
даж просто смотреть видео о таком красивом месте и обучении - оч преоч мотивирует творить!
I really like your content 👌✨✨✨
You are really lucky to be part of an recognised art academy. My desire was also to became an artist to join art classes get better at it. But my guardian just pushed me to different field that I don't find anything in it , I'm literally dying. And out here.
Thank god these places still exist. I try to do similar things, but in my bedroom space lol
Hello I’m 17 from England and have long covid. I pretty much spend all day on the sofa watching UA-cam or meditating as I’m too ill to do anything else. I just want to thank you for your videos, they really cheer me up and give some great escapism!❤️
This is Soo cool ❤
Thank you for showing the canvas preparation process! But why do you use an acrylic primer when painting in oils, instead of an oil-based or water-soluble primer? Solely to save time for the drying process? Thank you for sharing with us 💞
Thank you for kind words❤️ yep it dries quickly, unfortunately studying is always a rush)
For me, art academies and schools were quite a pain to be honest. I studied and practiced, put work and effort to be good at art and still teachers or professors shitted on me all over the place, saying Im not good enough, still need more work, do you even practice? Etc. And this is how I ended up on film academy, don't regret it but still don't understand why I had such shit luck... well at least Im in a better place now.
SAW YOUR VIDEO IT WAS GREAT!!!!!! GREETINGS FROM PHILIPPINES, HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON!!!!
❤️❤️❤️
who created that mountain climbing painting at 12:08? love it
Reading War and Peace and watching your videos made me dream of going to Russia and study literature
I've studied literature in Russian University for the Humanities. I recommend it, it is also atmospheric old place, I miss it
In another world I'm an Imperial academy of arts student enjoying the suffering of life doing what I want to do and learning what I want to learn
Phenomenal X
Is it possible to visit the Academy for a day ??...I'm from Munich 🌈
(..My favourite russian painter is Rijepin )
The atmosphere : the students and the quality of artworks, is so inspiring )
....Not to forget : this beautiful town !!!🌈
Thank you for your video 🌸
thank you for your kind words❤️ yes, it is best to come in mid-January or early June, there are usually exam exhibitions there and anyone can go to the academy and walk everywhere)
@@ksyelf5820 , Thank you so much for your information :
I think I'll visit St Petersburg in the time of the beginning of the famous "white nights" in the early june 🌈
Do svidanje, Miriam*
@@uswruser7996 oh, I double-checked, the second examination exhibition is at the end of May, sorry, I forgot) that is, most likely it will be on May 24, 25 and 26)
@@ksyelf5820 , no problem, I'm already looking forward for the beautiful days 🙏🎨 🖼 💙 🌈
More please
Do you know the painting depicts a girl playing the piano by the window is called? Who is the artist? It is in the old Soviet artists' exhibition part. I am quite desperate to see it fully now.
Im wondering what you will do in future studying with such an ancient academic approach 😁 ‘Best academy’ they said
спасибо, подписался! а где можно посмотреть архив работ учеников академии? (у меня там училась вся семья)
@@ksyelf5820 Спасибо! (Я из питера, учился в СХШ/Иогансона, но потом уехал) Многие одноклассники сейчас преподают в Академии. Удачи в творчестве)
Liked and subscribed.
Hi, beautiful video. I have a question regarding the preparation year that the academy offers for students, do you need to know a lot of russian before joining or just basic?...because you mentioned that there are russian classes.
Thanks for taking the time to film us your beautiful experience at the academy
Hey! Thank you❤️ for preparation year you don’t need to know Russian, but of course you better learn some basics to live here more comfortably
Hiiii I just saw this now, thank you so much for answering!! ❤
Hi :) what about contemporary art at Imperial Academy of Arts? Amazing video!
I love your vlogs so much theyre so inspiring! Are there age limits for the student? Maybe i will learn Russian to try to get in but i feel like it would take me forever 😩
Thank you so much❤️ no, there are no age limits) we have 40+y.o. students here, and maybe even more)
@@ksyelf5820hi i am 12 years old could i join if i wanted
gosh it must to so hard to translate lectures for the foreign students? to pay so much money to attend such a prestigious school and only understand like 60% of what the teacher is saying in class is insane. loved the video though
thank you❤️ on the one hand yes, but lectures are held for the entire course, the majority of students here are Russian-speaking) when you come to another country, it is in your interests to learn the language in order to survive there)
I really really wanted to be there
Была там в 14 лет, нам рассказывали как проходит обучение, и уж не помню что такого конкретного рассказывали, но до экскурсии я хотела поступить в Репу, а после решила что ни ногой туда. Прошло много лет и мне очень жаль что я не пошла на высшее художественное и пошла в дизайн. Понимаю что и там и там сложно, но на дизайне главный минус - дизайна как такого нет, ему не учат нигде и никак. Редко дают задания и отправляют самообучаться через гугл и ютуб. А я мечтала чтобы меня где то учили живописи, чтобы был опыт ручной работы. Может в детстве мне рамки в Репе показались слишком строгими, а может быть экскурсовод так подал информацию об учебе, непрезентабельно что отбил все желание смотреть в сторону этого университета. Как вы сами можете оценить свою учебу там на данном этапе? Насколько интересно, насколько тяжело? Были ли у вас на уме другие места где мечтали учиться или Репа это как раз то что нужно?
Извиняюсь если неправильно университет называю, по памяти, уже лет 10 прошло, как я там была.
i’m curious-do you have to be fluent in russian to attend? i remember seeing you talk about exchange students, but i wasn’t quite sure!
Hey) no, you don’t have to be fluent! You need to know some basics and the academy provides Russian language lessons for foreigners after admission and there are preparatory courses before admission for those who need it, this also helps)
Is the gelatine completely cold when you apply it? I am wondering how you get this jelly texture, when I let my gelatine glue cool down it becomes too solid to apply in such a fashion - maybe just add more water?
No, its not completely cold, thats why it has this soft texture, but i personally use cold gelatin for the last layer of gluing, I apply it with my palm and the heat melts it
Thank you 🙏
Hi! I had a question. The art university in Moscow where you studied earlier, is that the Surikov Institute?
Hey) yes it is)
Cool
Thanks for the vlogs I do have some quick questions. I know they only teach in Russian but I could not find much info about fees for international students. Also does the current state of Russia and Ukranie war effect aplications. I live in Turkey so would help a ton if I could learn these infos. Thanks for the vlog have a nice day
I wish this academy was in a country were i wouldnt need to hide beacuse it would be wonderful to somehow go to this amazing school
why would you need to hide in Russia?
Что же вы наделали… теперь я безумно хочу поступить в в эту академию…
it looks like a dream! the lessons are in english? what someone shoud do in order to get in?
No, unfortunately lessons are only in Russian
Is it the best in Russia?because I’ve heard the royal academy of the art and university of the arts London are the best ones
меня всё это просто завораживает!! но я опасаюсь что не смогу зарабатывать если буду учиться живописи.. если можете, пожалуйста поделитесь какие есть возможности с таким образованием?
What are the colours you are using on your pallet?
Oil colors by masterclass, ladoga and sonet)
MY DREAM LIFE❤🩹💫
I also wanna go here how do you get in?
Can you make a video about learning russian ?🎉❤
Is the program undergraduate or graduate?
قسم الهندسة في جامعتي يمتلك مرسم ربما سوف ازوره ذات يوم
Great, but isn't the emphasis on conformity sometimes a little stifling?
If you are a conformist by nature, yes, you will conform. It boils down to who you are.
Превосходно
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️!!!
En iyi art school diye girdim de mimar sinan niye cikmadi???
Im an academic artist that is studying in fine arts school in Algeria , i want to contact with some artist that studies in Imperial school of arts in St Petersburg ..
Est-il difficile d'obtenir un visa pour pouvoir espérer accéder à cette incroyable école !!! Je suis français et j'apprends le russe. Merci pour votre réponse
The academy provides visas to foreign students, as far as I know it’s not difficult) by the way, we have at least 2 students from France here!) I wish you good luck!
