The role of Vladimir and Maria Kulikov in the history of the formation and developmentof the Krasnoyarsk school of graphic design
Abstract
The article examines the creative and pedagogical activities of Vladimir Kulikov and Maria Kulikova in the context of the formation and development of the Krasnoyarsk School of Graphic Design (KSGD). The novelty of the study lies in the attempt to systematically reconstruct and describe for the first time a local, region-specific pedagogical model that influenced the formation of the visual-communicative environment of Krasnoyarsk at the turn of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. The key stages of the Kulikovs’ professional development are analyzed, along with the distinctive features of their artistic and methodological approaches, which were shaped through both teaching and practical design work. Particular attention is paid to the impact of the couple’s individual creative experience and pedagogical principles on the establishment of the regional model of design education, as well as to the stages of creation and development of KSGD. The study identifies the interplay of systemic project-based methods, visual thinking, and authorial artistic strategies within the educational process, as realized in students’ practical assignments, coursework, and diploma projects, thus revealing the specific characteristics of the Kulikovs’ pedagogical practice within KSGD.
