This project is supervised by the Drawing Department of the Academy of Architecture and Arts of the Southern Federal University together with the head of the Department Tatiana Neklyudova and Associate Professor Christopher Khashkhayan. The composition of the exhibition participants is expanding every year. The competition examines the works performed by students of art directions according to the curricula. 

Professor of the Department of Architectural and Environmental Design Andrey Vodyanoi stressed that unfortunately, technologies that penetrate deeper into our lives every day deprive us of the opportunity to create anything with our hands. Therefore, it is especially pleasant that today's students still have a strong interest in "manual work" and drawing from nature. The expression of thought on paper is worth a lot now.

This year, universities from Rostov-on-Don, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kazakhstan, Volgograd, Yekaterinburg, Kostroma, Chelyabinsk, Grozny and others are taking part in the exhibition-competition.

Every year the quality of student works submitted to the competition is improving, there is an active creative process of interchange of pedagogical practices between different universities.

The exhibition will be open to everyone until October 8 at the DSPB (175A Pushkinskaya str.)
