The work deals with the theme of women's life through the stages it passes on its way to the conclusive process of ageing and dying. It tries to study this fenomen through the structure, shape changing and sarcolysis that permeates the cycle of human life.

This work deals with the possibilities to use modern art in the leisure time. The theoretical part charakterises the pedagogical conceptions of Bauhaus, Paul Klee and Wassily Kandinsky. It deals with the issue of the artwork reception and with the developement and present circumstances of the art education at schools but also in terms of the leisure time. The practically part makes use of this theoretical knowledge and apllies it to the practices. For a better orientation is the project divided into two sections. The aim of the first part is the aplication of the integral method in the art education. The second part focuses on the work with the expressive means.

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Finely-tuned solvent mixtures are used by art conservators for the difficult task of safely and selectively removing yellowed varnish, disfiguring grime, and discolored overpaint from the surface of oil paintings. This process is often referred to as “picture cleaning” and depends on the different solubilities of the obfuscating surface materials and the underlying paint medium. However, differential evaporation rates for the solvents used in these carefully formulated cleaning mixtures can change the potency of the mixture over time, which could potentially lead to solutions having solubility characteristics that are ineffective at cleaning, or worse yet, are deleterious to artists’ oil paints. Azeotropic blends of solvents have been proposed as an alternative for maintaining consistent solvent composition throughout the evaporation process while benefiting from their high vapor pressure relative to the pure solvents. Azeotropes are specific combinations of two or more solvents at a precise concentration that behave as a single solvent, maintaining a constant composition in both the liquid and vapor phases. The use of purportedly azeotropic solvent blends has appeared in the art conservation literature for the cleaning of historic objects and paintings. However, these solvent mixtures are taken from tables of azeotropic compositions given at their boiling point. We have studied one of these solutions, a 19:81 vol% mixture of isopropanol and n-hexane. For the first time, the actual evaporation behavior of this purported azeotropic mixture was followed in detail at room temperature conditions. Through the use of rudimentary vapor pressure measurements, gravimetric analysis, as well as sophisticated compositional determinations of both the liquid phase and headspace of evaporating mixtures by gas chromatography, this particular cleaning solution has been shown to be zeotropic (i.e. NOT an azeotrope) under the conditions typical of conservation studios. The true room temperature azeotropic composition was found instead to contain half as much isopropanol at 9.5 vol%. Art conservators should therefore be dubious of purportedly azeotropic mixtures reported at boiling points well above room temperature. Individual azeotropic cleaning blends are best determined chemically prior to their use in art restoration. Furthermore, the introduction of a model paint film to the evaporating room temperature azeotrope was shown to further confound its behavior, calling into question whether solvent systems can be configured to evaporate with constant composition from the surface of an artwork.

The dissertation studies the features and modes adopted by the street art in urban cultural space. The text presents an analysis of history and contemporary forms of street art in Russia. Through the works of major artists, themes and festivals, the author elucidates characteristic features of Ekaterinburg street art, explores the work of “Sweater” street art gallery and the experience of the All-Russian Street Art Festival “Stenograffia”. Sociological research conducted by the author helps to understand the attitudes of Ekaterinburg’s younger population towards specific street art objects and street art in general. / Диссертация посвящена изучению особенностей и форм проявления street art в культурном пространстве города на примере г. Екатеринбурга. Анализируется история и современные формы street art в России. Через работы значимых художников, темы и фестивали выявляются особенности стрит-арта в Екатеринбурге, исследуется деятельность галереи уличного искусства «Свитер» и опыт проведения Всероссийского фестиваля уличного искусства «Стенограффия». На основе проведенного социологического опроса выявляется отношение молодежи г. Екатеринбурга к отдельным объектам уличного искусства и стрит-арту в целом.

Магистерская диссертация посвящена исследованию стрит-арт-открыток и уличному искусству в целом: рассмотрению американской и французской традиций, рассмотрению особенностей российского стрит-арта и его правового регулирования. Также работа включает в себя анализ современного состояния уличного искусства г. Екатеринбурга и классификацию стрит-арт-объектов города. Для разработки концепции издательского проекта стрит-арт-открыток был осуществлен анализ рос¬сийского книжного рынка в специфике публикаций об уличном искусстве и анализ открыток, посвященных стрит-арту, проведена оценка востре¬бованности продукта посредством сегментирования целевой аудитории и выведения «персонажей», а также рассмотрены структурно-содержательные и визуально-полиграфические особенности издания. Издательский продукт представляет собой набор открыток в количестве 12 штук формата А6, посвященный уличному искусству Екатеринбурга. / The master's thesis is devoted to the study of street art postcards and street art in general: consideration of the American and French traditions, consideration of the features of Russian street art and its legal regulation. The work also includes an analysis of the current state of street art in Yekaterinburg and classification of street art objects in the city. To develop the concept of a publishing project street art-cards performed analysis of the Russian book market in the specific publications about street art and analysis of postcards dedicated to street art, evaluated demand for the product by segmenting the target audience and removing "characters", and discusses the structural and visual features of the edition. The publishing product is a set of postcards in the amount of 12 pieces of A6 format, dedicated to the street art of Yekaterinburg.
