📋 Tender Overview
On the eve of the new academic year, a unique educational project about the life and work of the great Russian artist and mentor Vasily Polenov and his famous students: Isaac Levitan, Konstantin Korovin, Ilya Repin, Abram Arkhipov and others was launched on the Rostelecom Lyceum online platform. Representatives of the provider's press service, journalists and bloggers of the Central Federal District (CFD), as well as art historians from the country's leading art museums took part in preparing the series of video lectures. Rostelecom's new project will introduce schoolchildren to the world of art and will also help popularize Russia's cultural and historical heritage.
The project "Vasily Polenov. Teacher and Students", dedicated to the Year of the Teacher and Mentor in Russia, continues in the Year of the Family. Residents of Central Russia and the Far East were the first to get acquainted with the project in 2023. Today, the project has entered a new stage of development: a series of video lectures and notes have been posted on the Rostelecom Lyceum online educational platform. Thanks to the accessible and engaging format, students can immerse themselves in the world of fine art, develop their aesthetic taste and broaden their horizons. The project will become a valuable addition to the school curriculum and will help to instill in the younger generation love and respect for Russian culture.
Natalia Polenova, director of the V.D. Polenov State Museum-Reserve, the artist’s great-granddaughter:
"Since the launch of the project to this day, online lessons dedicated to Vasily Polenov and his famous students have been watched by tens of thousands of students from general education and art schools in the Far East and the Central Federal District. By telling about the life and work of the master, the role he played in the destinies of his talented followers, we popularize the artistic heritage of our country. It is wonderful that we live in an age when digital technologies help this, allowing us to transmit information to the most remote corners of our homeland."
Victoria Bogatu, Director of the Product Office for Partnership and Prospective Products at Rostelecom:
"Rostelecom Lyceum has long been a reliable assistant for students and parents. Many users have replaced expensive lessons with tutors with a subscription. At the same time, the content of the educational platform goes beyond the school curriculum, providing a number of additional educational activities. The new course "Vasily Polenov. Teacher and Students" will allow schoolchildren to get to know the work of outstanding representatives of Russian painting, learn about their unique style and contribution to the development of world culture. I am sure that a series of fascinating video lectures will become a valuable source of knowledge for everyone interested in the history of Russian fine art."
The entire video series, as well as lesson plans, are available on the Rostelecom Lyceum platform for all authorized users. Self-assessment tasks have also been developed specifically for course participants. After reading the plan and watching the video, students can test themselves by taking part in a colorful quiz: indicate the correct portrait, choose the right sketch, name the place where the artist worked, etc.
