Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School is a shocking, at first glance, place where all the canons of painting are violated, and the wildest fantasies are embodied. The models here are half-naked dancers, the creators are amateur artists, and alcohol is a source of inspiration for both. There is a decline in morals, but the organizers insist that it is here that "alternative painting" is being created.
As paradoxical as it may sound, the ability to draw for students of the School of Anti-Arts is not the main thing. Anyone can come here, regardless of the degree of their talent and position in society. As a rule, newly minted artists draw in notebooks with pencils, pens, charcoal and even paints. For those who come empty-handed, free art materials are kindly provided at the entrance. The one thing you won't find at Dr. Sketchy's school is an eraser. Anti-art apologists are convinced that there is nothing that is wrong or wrong.
The dancers pose throughout the night, changing positions from time to time. The creative process is complemented by numerous mini-contests (such as Best Eyelashes, Best Comic, etc.). The prizes are usually alcoholic drinks or certificates from local tattoo parlors.
Dr. Sketchy's School of Anti-Arts is the brainchild of illustrator John Leavitt and former burlesque dancer model Molly Crabapple. The first anti-art class was held at The Lucky Cat bar in Brooklyn, New York in 2005. Since then, branches of the school have been opened in 100 cities in 16 countries on five continents (alternative painting has not yet reached only Africa and Antarctica).
The idea of the intuitive ability to paint in every person is not new. The masters of the Perotti school of painting and decoration are capable of discovering amazing abilities in everyone! Fortunately, this school is looking for inspiration in self-improvement and admiring nature, and not at all in nude dancers!

Connoisseurs of art consider Dore a romantic representative of the 19th century, whose work is devoid of artistic value, but whose great importance lies in his contribution to the development of book illustration.

Contemporary art from Konstantin Zolotarev. Contemporary Christian art or icon painting style
The icon painting style created for the depiction of saints and Christ is aimed at displaying a different reality. Therefore, in the icon, the portrait resemblance of a saint to a person who actually lived once is not in principle, since it reflects a transformed person who is in the upper world. But after all, the saints once lived on earth, they were like us, they ate and drank and had practically the same problems as modern man
