4th-year graphic design students majoring at Varna Free University "Chernorizets Hrabar" implemented their course projects in the discipline Drawing and Stylization in a real urban environment. On Sunday - 30 July 2023, they decorated benches in the pedestrian zone on Slivnitsa Blvd., near the Regional History Museum and the Municipality of Varna. The student projects have been agreed and approved by the Expert Council for Territorial Planning.
Fourth-year students Kristiyan Ivanov, Mihaela Hristova and Milena Kozhuharova took part in the actual drawing. The students worked on the topic #VarnenskiThings - for visual, decorative design of a recreation area as part of an urban environment. Their diverse project solutions reflect the most characteristic features of Varna - from ecological to scenic and fun moments of city life. The projects also include elements from the sea world, which is an inalienable part of Varna's identity. The message is optimistic, but also with attention to the civic conscience of the residents of Varna and the guests of the city.
The event is initiated by the lecturer Donika Kirova in collaboration with the company Lorka EOOD, which will provide materials for the performance.
"The aim of the project is to bring a fresh touch to the design of the urban environment, attracting the attention of the people of Varna and, above all, motivating the activity of young people. They can and should participate in the aestheticization of the spaces they inhabit. I am proud to see the commitment of our students. They not only show skills in the field of graphic design, but also declare their affection for the city in which we live," says Donika Kirova.
