Hello. I am a student of Stroganovo, I have been studying there for the third year, I want to share my experience and be indignant at the same time. It’s real to enter, especially at the faculties of the DPI. Here, with the design of the graph / environment / industrial, it’s more difficult. The guys there are paid, either very strong competitors from the branches of the Stroganov schools, or after two years of Stroganov courses and drawing classes with leading teachers. One of the last, above it was me, it was difficult to break through, the MHK decides a lot, so I went to additional classes, also exams and creative ones, everything is summed up and in the end you are distributed according to the list of applicants to places. Most of the places in Stroganovo are budget-funded. Drawing is at the highest level: excellent teachers teach, classes are intensive, everything is scolded for absenteeism, everything is strictly monitored, the best plastic anatomy teacher in Moscow will tell you a lot of interesting and unusual things, and sketches are held all week in Stroganovka, a short drawing for everyone. Cathedral subjects are also given a lot of attention. But it's not worth it to enter the strogonovka if you are more an artist than a technician. Since all faculties take a course in descriptive geometry. We also have a project, design, mathematics and physics. Considerable attention is also paid to all this, unlike painting and sculpture: a little about painting. (That's a different story altogether). It's just awful. A bunch of ancient teachers who, IF SUDDENLY they appear in the classroom, sit in the department, do not go to the students. Many students do not see their teachers in the eyes until the first session. The mess is complete, no one warns about anything, no one he doesn’t know anything and didn’t see anyone. You need to mark yourself in the classroom, however, and no one talks about it right away. Sculpture is also a mess: they lose their work, teachers disappear somewhere or come drunk, they don’t remember their students, even if they are an eyesore almost every day. In general, if you want to be in industry and design welcome, and if you are an artist / craftsman DPI-I do not advise, the attitude of teachers to students is terrible. But if you are confident in your abilities, if you are professional enough, then I highly recommend it. There are a lot of interesting and useful things in Stroganovo, but you need to kill time there specifically. I am at the institute from morning to evening. And one more minus: the university is trying in every possible way to keep the name, although its name is falling due to the venality of places, teaching and many students. An independent artist will survive there, as they say "the artist's legs are fed." ! 3-(normal rating). You need to work a lot there, otherwise there is no way. And it’s difficult to enter if you only graduated from an art school. It’s better to take courses or directly with the teachers of the faculty you plan to enroll in. Otherwise, it’s cool there: the atmosphere, work, relative freedom. 12/17/2013 06:04:54 PM, TonyTony

College of Design and Decorative Arts MGHPA named after S.G. Stroganov is the heir and successor of the world-famous Moscow Art School of Applied Arts, which was opened by government decree in 1920 and immediately received the status of a secondary specialized educational institution (technical school) ... "to serve the needs of the handicraft industry with a period of study of three years ..."

In November 1931, having become the Moscow Industrial and Art College, the educational institution established itself as a specialized in the field of arts and crafts. Since 1931, the technical school began to bear the name of M.I. Kalinin, in 1938 was renamed the Moscow School of Industrial Art. The term of study increased to five years, graduates received the qualification of a master artist - the artistic orientation of a specialist became a priority.

Already in 1923, the performance of the school at the All-Union Agricultural and Handicraft-Industrial Exhibition was awarded an honorary diploma of the first degree. This was followed by regular participation in foreign shows - at international exhibitions in Paris (1925 and 1937), the school twice received the highest award - the "Grand Prix", and individual products - gold medals. And in the post-war years, the school was adequately represented at major international exhibitions in Italy, the USA, Canada, and Japan.

Since 1990, our educational institution has become known as the Moscow Art School of Applied Arts (college). At present, we are a structural subdivision of MGHPA named after A.I. S.G. Stroganov.

The fundamental reform of the school, begun in 1938, marked a turn towards the development of a multidisciplinary educational institution, six of the four departments were soon formed: the department of decorative weaving, carpet weaving, embroidery, lace, artistic woodworking, bone and stone carving. The painting and decorative department united painting on wood, metal and papier-mâché. Thus, the main directions of personnel training for the centers of traditional folk art, which have their own artistic style, have been formed. School graduates played a significant role in the development of the art of such well-known crafts as Khokhloma painting, lacquer miniature of Fedoskino, Mstera and Kholuy, Kholmogory bone carving, carpet weaving of Dagestan, carved stone of the Urals and the North Caucasus, etc.

Lace weaving in our country was traditionally practiced in the Vologda, Lipetsk, Ryazan, Vyatka provinces. Basing their work on old skolki, hereditary lace makers remained performers in many respects. Artists capable of realizing new ideas in lace were trained in our school.

Knowledge of lace manufacturing technology is a basic condition for the formation of professional skills. Creation of a composition in lace is an art that requires the ability to see the movement and plasticity of a graphic line, since it is the drawing that determines the rhythmic structure of the product, while it is necessary to stylize the pictorial motif, give it a conventionality corresponding to the technique. In the educational process, along with the material presented in rare books, in sketches made in the fields, in samples transferred to the school by museums, works created by several generations of students are used.

In recent years, the range of graduation projects includes large thematic panels, elegant clothes, christening shirts, necklaces, Christmas decorations. Teachers and students of the department of artistic lace weaving proceed from the idea of ​​interrelationships between a person-object-environment in a single spatial and communicative field. The projects presented at the exhibition demonstrate the combination of sophisticated technology, exquisite airiness of the image with the constructiveness of the form and the functional and ergonomic component of the product, becoming a unique embodiment of the synthesis of tradition and modernity.
