Kharkiv State Academy of Design and Fine Arts

Kharkiv Organisation of Designers Union
On this site you can find the result of practical classes that were taught in the department of Design of Interactive Means of Visual Communication and the department of Graphic Design of Kharkiv State Academy of Design and Fine Arts (KSADA) and a feedback to several workshops in Cherkassy (Ukraine), Kursk and St. Petersburg (Russia), Poznan (Poland). Also, I placed here some own materials, photo-reports.


WORKSHOPS

Series of workshops had a great success and influenced the students' educational activity in developing web-design, experimental animation and multimedia presentations during the last eight years. More than 30 workshops were held in Kursk, Saint Petersburg and Cherkassy. The workshop continues for a brief period, 6 days at most. Having particular topic students acquire multimedia design skills, master programming basics and carry out a small project or several exercises. The result of the web-design workshops are on this page.


VINCENT's POCKET FESTIVAL

Students of KSADA have visited "The Vincent's Pocket International Anxiety Workshops" in Poznan since 2007. People from high schools of Central Europe are invited to the Festival. They are students and teachers who will suggest non-standard creative ideas for the Polish schoolchildren. And that's why this festival is unique. An amusing open-air is going for 3 days on a large meadow in the Citadela Park. Hundreds of children gather in groups near blue tents to create strange installations and constructions, do unusual performances, to invent original games. A festival outgrows to the celebration of the relaxed easy creative work.


MULTIMEDIA INSTALLATIONS ON THE FACADES

An idea of creation the installation on the building facade came up spontaneously during the workshop in Kursk in 2007. Back then we have run some simple but interesting projects. We took pictures of a facade in the evening then laid a flash animation on the photo by using a mask. Since then we have used different technical approaches. For instance some hand-drown houses and 3D models of the buildings were taken as a basis and video-textures were laid on it. Also we tried video-mapping. Video-mapping is an exciting new projection technique that can turn almost any surface into a dynamic video display. We accumulated pretty much experience which can outgrow to real projects someday.


DIPLOMA PROJECT

The diploma planning is a "moment of truth" for a graduating student. In my opinion the preparation of the diploma project makes a student realize all the responsibility of the work and a teacher has to guide him through the process. It's so interesting to invent something new and then work out all the tiny details to make it perfect by working in a team.


THE "MARIINO" PROJECT

"Mariino" is a poetic multimedia project made by the students of Kursk university and KSADA at summer practice in 2005. The charm of the Mariino influenced everyone, so the presentations were produced in unexpectedly huge amount and high quality.
