Dymkova Russian Village

Last year, Ms. Ratushyuk, as part of her Russian class project, had students reproduce a scaled version of a Russian village with elements of famous Russian clay folk art "Dymkovo toy". This year, Ms. Ratushnyuk turned the project into a club called the Dymkovo Russian Village Team. All students were welcome to join and meet to take part in the arts and crafts each week. They used clay, paint, cardboard, and other materials available to them in the Makerspace to create more clay figurines for their village.
Dymkovo's bright colors and eye-catching patterns were meant to cheer up the Russian people during the harsh winters who were bored of seeing dark depressing sights around them. The students followed this concept, as well as added their own flair to the project in many small forms.
