Conclusion

We reviewed 8 out of 29 art schools in Nizhny Novgorod. They got into our rating due to the large number of positive feedback from students, due to their popularity and demand.

As can be seen from the description, all the schools listed above can be divided into two groups: with a budget form of education (main classes) and a paid form of education. The first are mainly municipal educational institutions (Art Schools No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, Izograph). They carry out classical education according to traditional curricula. Education in them is free, but additional paid services are possible. They are focused on teaching children and preparing teenagers for admission in the profile.Only "Izograph" organizes classes for adults, but on a paid basis.

The second group with a paid form of education included private studios and schools: "Painter", ArtBox, Cultura Graphica, "House of Arts". They offer a more flexible approach to learning, with proprietary methods and a more flexible class schedule. Some of them even offer consumables, including them in the cost of training in advance. Both children and adults can study in such schools and studios.

Which school is right for you or your child? The answer is simple: private studios with a convenient work schedule are more suitable for developing talent in an adult. If you want your child to connect his future life with drawing, then municipal institutions with a classical curriculum are more suitable.
