The Russian House in Dhaka on Friday organised a special painting master class titled “Great Women”, in collaboration with the Serov Academy of Fine Arts on the occasion of International Women’s Day.
The event brought together nearly one hundred students from various educational institutions across Dhaka.
During the master class, participants created portraits and artistic interpretations of remarkable women who have made significant contributions to society.
Among them was Valentina Tereshkova, the first female cosmonaut from USSR and a global symbol of courage and achievement.
Students also portrayed Begum Rokeya, a pioneer of women’s education and a leading figure in the movement for women’s empowerment in Bangladesh.
Many participants also chose to depict inspiring women from their own lives, including their mothers, teachers, and other influential figures in their families.
Through their artworks, students expressed admiration, gratitude, and respect for the women who shape their lives and society.
The event highlighted the creative talents of young participants and encouraged them to explore art as a way to celebrate the achievements and contributions of women.
The “Great Women” painting master class not only fostered artistic expression but also emphasized the importance of recognizing the role of women in history, education, science, and everyday life.
The Russian House in Dhaka continues to support cultural exchange, artistic development, and educational initiatives that strengthen the ties between the people of Bangladesh and Russia through meaningful cultural programs.
