Museum Classes for Rostov Students

For many years the Museum-Reserve of M.A.Sholokhov has been successfully cooperating with “Evrika-Razvitiye” school number 96, named after M.A.Nagibin, and gymnasium number 118, of Rostov-on-Don within the program “Local History” and “Vyoshki” practice. During April 17 –19, 2018, the museum workers resumed their classes devoted to the life and work of the great Russian writer and to the Don Cossack culture for the school students.

The senior students with great attention and interest listened to the lectures “Early Works. Tales from the Don by M.A.Sholokhov” and learned about the beginning of the writer’s literary career, about the history of the novel “And Quiet Flows the Don”, the short story “The Fate of a Man” and about the prototypes of these works. During the class “I Can’t Live without Nature…”, the museum workers told about the work of M.A.Sholokhov as Deputy and about his great contribution into protection of nature and environment preservation.

The middle and senior students took part in the workshops, where they absorbedly painted bright tulips on wooden spoons, painted a clay miniature and made a paper stand for pencils, a decorative horse of bast, and beautiful decorations from a miracle-felt.

The classes were also conducted in the preparatory group of the kindergarten of school number 96 “Evrika-Razvitiye”. The children painted the birds of salted dough, made colourful pictures of plasticine, a doll Zabava of fabric, flowers of crepe paper and souvenirs of woolen yarn and clay.

The classes were held in games and were interesting and fruitful.
