Leonardo Art School International

LEONARDO COURSE No. 3
"WORLD of MASTERPIECES"

The course brings together a brief history of art, with a selection of the great names and most prominent genres/styles in art history, like Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Rembrandt, Wag Gogh, Picasso, Salvador Dali, Kandinsky, etc. Our students will learn about their drawing techniques and understand what these people are famous for and what they have given to the world.

Greatest Geniuses. Bright personalities. What unites unsurpassed masters? These geniuses have two main differences: they created new things in art (themes, techniques, accents) and a new professional method of teaching fine arts in their workshops.

In order to master the works of the great masters and learn a brief history of the art, the student needs to spend a lot of time studying the techniques and styles of the artists. The student must learn to skillfully grind and mix paints. Gradually, the student begins to engage directly in drawing and painting, not just reproducing the works of great teachers, but reworking, thinking out with new metaphors.

The great Donatello, when was asked what the best method of teaching art was, always answered: "In the art of making and remaking means to improve." This is the rule we follow by, while studying the handwriting of famous masters on the course LEONARDO No. 3.
During "WORLD of MASTERPIECES" course, students study graphics, painting and other forms of art through the perception of great masters.

The main thing is getting a triple result:

TO SEE WHOLELY: studying world art history in 1 course, which is already priceless!
TO SEE METHODOLOGICALLY: the study of the techniques and genres of the greatest masters, which greatly diversifies the student's vision,
TO SEE MORE and FURTHER: creating a new vision of masterpieces through the methods of "remaking", "finishing". This is already a level of high creativity!

☝🏻Benefits of Creative Thinking 🎨🧠🫟

While some people may not see the value of creative thinking 🤔💭, it has a lot of benefits when it comes to creative thought processes. Here is why is important and the benefits of creative thinking in most workplaces.

🎨You gain more confidence in your ideas: Having good ideas can be scary if you work in a place that takes pride in following structured and linear thought processes. But, if you allow yourself to embrace these out-of-the-box ideas, you may find more confidence in embracing these ideas.

🫟You become more self-aware: In some ways, linear thinking comes with biases that are developed, especially when you’re not encouraged to be your authentic self. But with creative thinking, you become more self-aware and get to know yourself better.

🖼️You have immense freedom with creative thinking: With creative thinking, the sky’s the limit. If you want to keep coming up with ideas, you can, and there’s no stopping you. So when you embrace creative thinking, just run with it and see where your thought process takes you.

LEONARDO COURSE No. 1
“FLIGHT”

Each Course of LEONARDO ART SCHOOL creates new level of holistic creative development of each student.

The course “FLIGHT” is for beginners of LEONARDO ART SCHOOL.
The course is focused on its preservation and development of figurative thinking, the development of divergent thinking and the disclosure of internal creative potential.
IMAGE is a view, appearance, as well as the result of reflection of objects and phenomena of the material world in the mind, this is a visual representation.

FIGURATIVE THINKING is the process of reflecting reality in the form of images (visual, sound, olfactory, tactile ...), in contrast to logical thinking, when reality is reflected in the form of judgments and concepts, and in contrast to visual-effective thinking, which involves practical actions with items. Operating with images of objects helps to visualize and understand the situation or task, and then quickly and correctly solve it. Everyone needs imaginative thinking: designers, artists, writers, inventors, scientists, marketers, entrepreneurs...

Art lessons of Leonardo school work on the development of figurative thinking and its transition to a higher level - “creating a new one” - a special art situation when a student completes an image according to his/her understanding, but not to ready-made templates.
