Ageless Painting Club
















"Painting ageless" is the motto under which the painting club opened Monday, May 25, at the Foreign Language Center ​​of Vrancea County Library. The fourth club opened at the Center brings together lovers of painting aged between 4 and 52 years. So far, there are 34 registered and the list goes on because there are many requests.
Volunteer teacher who will lead the club, Mihaela Dănilă, from the Economic College "Mihail Kogalniceanu" Focsani, promised the club members that she will help each one to learn to paint according to prior knowledge. The club will combine theory and practice in the actual activity of painting. Mihaela will propose exhibitions and contests in order to stimulate further interest and love for this art of beauty. Club members will have books and art materials from the Center fund and an impressive collection of slides of the most famous paintings and painters. In addition, the recently opened multimedia room will show presentations on electronic media, documentary films about famous artists and allow information searches on topics of art. One of the Center rooms will be decorated with the most beautiful work made at the club and Mihaela will create original banners for presentation in the Center.
The club will be held in the outside in garden of the Foreign Language Center like all other clubs and activities at the Center.
"The meetings will continue during the summer holidays, parents and children being very excited about this opportunity and pleasant alternative to spend time in an educational and relaxing way. Leisure and educational alternatives are almost nonexistent in Focsani and all enjoy the beautiful and interesting things that are going on at the library. Although the official registration period has ended, you can still enter the club because they are willing to take more and have not limited places. We are glad, additionally, that this club has been a great success for all ages." (Anamaria Cătănoiu, Coordinator Foreign Languages Center​​)
