Presentation of the textbook “Fundamentals of Petrykivka painting” Petrykivka painting is a business card of Ukraine. It is gaining more and more popularity every year. Numerous master classes conducted by masters of Petrykivka painting for children and adults from different regions of Ukraine and abroad speak of the love for this art and the need to educate a large number of its admirers.
That is why #womenplus supported the proposal of Tetyana Garkava, the national craftswoman of Petrykivka painting, teacher of the Dnipropetrovsk Vocational College of Art and Culture, regarding the publication of the textbook “Fundamentals of Petrykivka Painting”. The textbook, by the way, was published at the expense of the parliamentary subvention of our colleague, deputy of the regional council Liliia Hyrenko.
The other day, the regional scientific library hosted a presentation of two textbooks on Petrykivka painting by Tetyana Garkava – “Fundamentals of Petrykivka painting” and “Petrykivka decorative painting”. The books were received by specialists of the library system and employees of cultural centers of the region.
– We helped the release of these books, as we strive to make Petrykivka painting accessible to everyone. After all, painting helps to create real masterpieces – from painting ordinary drawings, pens, circles, small ornaments to creating bright interiors. This art is a real art therapy, because painting on paper, wood, ceramics or metal creates incredibly positive emotions for every person, regardless of age, gender – Liliia Hyrenko commented on the presentation of the textbooks.
The presented textbooks contain not only the history of Petrykivka painting, Petrykivka masters, but also information on the technique of working with it, examples of the author’s execution of basic strokes, elements, and compositional solutions.
From now on, having such textbooks, local libraries and cultural centers will help to spread information about our Petrykivлф painting and the skills of its use, to teach this art to all interested library visitors and other residents of the region.
