Art history training
Preparation for the art history entrance exam — from zero, for design and creative programs. Understanding instead of cramming, mock exams, and a review of every mistake.
What the course gives
If you dream of studying design but fear the art history exam, this course answers exactly that fear: I prepare students from zero for entrance exams in creative programmes and for the Culture and Art olympiad.
The goal is not to memorise dates but to understand the material and write full answers worth maximum points.
How the course works
The material is split into era blocks — from prehistory to the 21st century: one block for prehistoric art, two for Ancient Egypt, and so on.
A fully individual format is possible at a higher price — we can discuss it on a call.
- Group lectures via Telemost plus individual practice calls with error review.
- Learning to write full, competent answers.
- Tricky test questions and typical applicant mistakes, taken apart.
- Mock exams and a deep review of every error.
- Anki cards, so revision never turns into cramming.
- A community of future classmates — studying together is easier.
Results
- You navigate the history of art from the ancient world to the 21st century.
- You write a full answer worth maximum points.
- You know how to handle tricky test questions.
- You are ready for your university's exam — and for the olympiad.
The teacher
My name is Stepan; I am a master's student at Saint Petersburg State University of Industrial Technologies and Design and a practising architect. I worked at an architectural company featured in Forbes.
I studied art history from scratch myself and won budget places twice, including through the Culture and Art olympiad. I work with university teachers and know which details examiners reward.
If you are not applying
The course is built for applicants, but art history can also be studied for its own sake — as an instrument of the eye: how style, composition and façades are put together.
For adults there is an individual format with its own programme. More about me — about me.
Frequently asked questions
Is it suitable if I start from zero?
Yes — the course is designed for preparation from zero. That is exactly the path I took myself.
How long does preparation take?
It depends on your exam date and starting level. Write when you are applying, and we will build a plan on the call.
What is the format and the price?
Group lectures via Telemost, individual practice. Pricing is calculated individually after a short call; the fully individual format costs more.
I am not applying — would the course still fit?
Yes, in the individual format: we build a programme around your interest in art, not around an exam.
