This is an automatically translated description

Dear eighth graders! I invite you on an extraordinary journey into the magical world of beauty created by the work of outstanding artists, architects, musicians, and writers of past centuries. Artistic works embodied in words, sounds, colours, marble and granite are a kind of chronicle of human development. To read this chronicle better, you need to know the history of artistic culture at least in general terms, to understand the peculiarities of each art form, its artistic language and means of expression.
