Our teaching program offers 8 courses: Interior design, Graphic design, Fashion design, Product design, Landscape design, Design Psychology, Web design, Painting and Drawing. The length of each course depends on artistic skills of each student. It ranges from six months to two and a half scholastic year. We are in earnest about the quality of our education. That’s why the teaching program is worked out on basis of higher education. The experience of our teachers who combine teaching with practice helped us to do so.

Based on interconnection of traditional images and contemporary structures, the project reveals several themes developed by «ArtFuture» design school students and graduates together with project curators. The participants were suggested to use one of Russian traditional images — matryoshka (as a silhouette, structure or segments) for developing contemporary interior items. Prime planes, inspired by Malevich suprematism, and modular systems of construction were accepted as a starting point for creating modern space. The traditional living, closely connected with nature, reveals emotional attitude for matters. The authentic way of life ub Russian village provided natural though functional forms that never loose their charm and are capable to evolve and acquire new meanings. The ecological forms just as hay mattresses, felt coverings, wooden furniture are capable to bring freshness and warmth into strict urban living.
