Within the scope of the Our Greats Program of the RA Ministry of Diaspora, the secondary school of Artchis village held an event celebrating the 90^th birth anniversary of great painter Grigor Khanjyan. The event’s organizer and fine arts teacher Arpine Zakharyan showed Khanjyan’s paintings through a slide show, and the schoolchildren analyzed them by presenting the origins of some of the paintings.

According to Hayern Aysor, the schoolchildren analyzed the paintings called “Vardanank”, “Armenian Alphabet” and “Reborn Armenia” in detail and with great interest.

They also presented the books with paintings by Khanjyan, including books containing Hovhannes Tumanyan’s “Loretsi Sako” (Sako from Lori), Paruyr Sevak’s “Anlreli Zangakatun” (Unsilenceable Belfry), Khachatur Abovyan’s “Verk Hayastani” (Wound of Armenia) and Gevorg Emin’s “Sasuntsineri Par” (Dance of the Sasuntsis), as well as read excerpts from the parts devoted to Komitas and Aghasi and recited a part of the poem “Sasuntsineri Par” (Dance of the Sasuntsis).

The event was instructive and meaningful.
