Art-bench "Magic Pages"

Each bench is a unique book depicting an illustration of a fairy tale by one of the most famous writers.

Fairy tales help absorb essential human and moral values. They vividly present various contrasts: courage and cowardice, wealth and poverty, hard work and laziness, wit and stupidity. By the way, the fact that good triumphs over evil at the end of fairy tales is a crucial factor in raising children.

Once Einstein was asked how we can make our children smarter. His answer was simple and wise: "Read them fairy tales. If you want them to be even smarter, read them even more fairy tales." He understood the value of reading and imagination. We hope we can pass on to our children a world where they will read and be read to, where they will imagine and understand.

We propose to implement this project in Odessa, installing art-benches on behalf of Odessa residents in various corners of the city. Sketches of drawings on our project theme will be presented for choosing illustrations directly on each bench.

Proposed list of fairy tales for illustration:

1. "Alice in Wonderland" - Lewis Carroll.

2. "Beauty and the Beast" - Charles Perrault.

3. "Cinderella" - Charles Perrault.

4. "The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish" - Alexander Pushkin.

5. "The Adventures of Pinocchio" - Carlo Collodi.

6. "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" - Brothers Grimm fairy tale.

7. "The Little Mermaid" - Hans Christian Andersen.

8. "The Little Prince" - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.

9. "Thumbelina" - Hans Christian Andersen.

10. "The Snow Queen" - Hans Christian Andersen.

11. "Kotyhoroshko" - Ukrainian folk tale.

12. "Kyrylo Kozhumyaka" - Ukrainian folk tale.

Several videos about how such benches are painted.

Increasing tourist flow.

Insufficient number of benches in the city.

A pilot art-bench will be installed in the city center. In the future, we plan to create similar benches throughout the city, particularly in residential areas.
