The Creative Center in Ruse was buzzing with youthful enthusiasm on July 29th as the next round of free digital drawing classes took place. The invited participants were none other than the talented young winners of the Weekly Competition of the Creative Center, aptly named “Kids Draw Best.” These promising artists were given a unique opportunity to enhance their skills in a state-of-the-art environment, equipped with professional tools thanks to the generous support from the Human Resources Development Agency.
Creative Center Ruse, established to cultivate artistic potential among children in Ruse, has been an ongoing summer competition that aims to inspire the young minds to explore creative industries and digital professions. The visionary initiative, fueled by the funds of the Human Resources Development Agency, is a non-governmental organization that recognizes the importance of nurturing young talents. They have wholeheartedly backed the awards and training of the competition winners.
Stepping into the Creative Center’s hall, one is immediately struck by the sight of world-class graphics tablets, powerful computers, and licensed software, all courtesy of the C.O.D.E. project. With 11 fully-equipped workstations, the Center leaves no stone unturned in providing the participants with the best resources to sharpen their digital artistry skills.
The driving force behind these transformative classes is the leading training engineer-designer, Kalina Marinova. Her passion for nurturing young talent and dedication to the field of digital art is palpable in every interaction she has with the budding artists. Her own journey in the creative realm began in a very different time when the technology was not as advanced as it is today. Reflecting on her youth, Kalina shared, “Back then, digital drawing and animation seemed like distant dreams. Today, witnessing these young artists exploring their creativity on cutting-edge technology fills my heart with pride.”
As the young participants enthusiastically delved into their projects during the class, it was evident that the combination of their innate talent and the guidance from Kalina Marinova was a perfect recipe for success. Each stroke on the graphics tablets seemed to breathe life into their creations, and the Creative Center was alight with the sparks of imagination.
The impact of such initiatives goes beyond honing artistic skills. They encourage teamwork, inspire self-confidence, and open doors to a plethora of exciting career opportunities. Creative Center Ruse is empowering these young artists to dream big and reach for the stars.
With the support of the Human Resources Development Agency and the dedication of the Creative Center team, the competition has become a beacon of hope for Ruse’s young generation. It provides them with the tools they need to turn their passion into a well-paid and independent profession.
The Creative Center’s initiative is a testament to the power of community involvement in nurturing creativity. As the winners of the “Kids Draw Best” competition continue their artistic journey, we can only imagine the wonders they will bring to the world.
In the words of Kalina Marinova, “Their potential is boundless, and with the right guidance, they will soar to new heights.”
Indeed, with such support and encouragement, the future of Ruse’s creative industries is looking brighter than ever.
