Kseniia Gondyreva

I am a journalist by training. I have been a curator of educational programs in the Alexander Blok museum apartment. In the museum, I created and conducted tours and workshops for children of all ages, wrote children's guides and educational books as well as organised museum festivals for families. I worked a lot with texts, created educational projects based on the works of Blok and other poets of the Silver Age of Russian culture. Participants of our classes could express themselves creatively including production of handwritten journals, making handcrafted animal figures and collages inspired by Blok's poems, creating book illustrations using lithography...
I'm very happy to teach art and literature in the academy. I hope my experience will help me to make classes inspiring and interesting.
