The virtual art exhibition "SUBJECT MONOLOGUE" presents the works of students of the 3rd year of the Department of Art Education, Faculty of Pedagogy, Psychology and Arts of the Central Ukrainian State University named after Volodymyr Vynnychenko within the framework of the museum youth art project "New Generation", which aims to identify among student artistic youth of bright and talented personalities in the modern fine arts of Ukraine and provides for the arrangement of personal and collective exhibitions, as well as the publication of thematic booklets with art articles and reproductions of creative works.
    The exposition of the exhibition consists of more than 40 graphic and pictorial works of young artists Pavlo Vasheka, Victoriia Plakhotnia and Liudmyla Tsvigun, created during the period of study and creative searches from 2021 to 2023 in the genre of still life under the guidance of a teacher of drawing and painting, Candidate of Pedagogical Sciences, Associate Professor of the Department of Art Education , a member of the National Union of Artists and Masters of Folk Art of Ukraine, Yuliia Malezhyk, who initiated the organization of the exhibition, defined its purpose and idea, and provided a detailed artistic description of the creative works of the students.
    "The purpose and idea of the exhibition is to present the main tasks and diversity of educational and creative still life, its multifacetedness, various themes and relevance at any time. In today's conditions and modern realities, educational and creative work requires new understanding and approaches. It just so happened that distance learning brings us back to things that are close to us. These are the things that surround us all the time, but few people notice their significance, even their symbolism, they become the accent and the tuning fork that reflects the inner state, emotionality, belonging to different spheres of activity, social, national class, etc. The exhibition presents the works of three students who solve these tasks in still life and independently, in an author's way, approach its understanding with the help of painting techniques, sometimes using graphics to accentuate the details.
    The saturation of Pavlo Vasheka's palette, presented in still lifes, strengthens the sound of the center of the composition and its versatility. He vividly conveys the variety of ratios and colorfully builds space in his works with the help of composition, color and tonal spots, reflexes, and lighting. The works of a creative nature are interesting, they are complex in terms of composition, color solution and conceptual understanding.
    The watercolor still lifes of Victoriia Plakhotnaia are distinguished by a more restrained palette, a creative design of compositions in which the awareness of the main task, which is expressed in the combination and play of colors, shades, and mood, is clearly visible. Her oil painting is more active, "bold" in tonality and color scheme, the objects are more detailed and seem to be talking to the viewer, telling about their affairs.
    Liudmyla Tsvihun's creative works, in addition to the traditional, educational task of pictorial solution of compositions in still life, are made in purely graphic techniques: simple and colored pencils, charcoal. Paintings with a simple and complex composition reflect the author's inner state, preferences, and passions. Her technique, even in painting, gravitates towards clarity of lines and harmony in the composition, and the color perfectly emphasizes this in the works", - this is how the curator of the exhibition, associate professor of the department of art education, Candidate of Pedagogical Sciences Yuliia Malezhyk presents the exhibition and characterizes the creativity of her students.
