Upon getting information about an upcoming school science fair and the need to consider a topic of interest, many students will typically have no idea where to get started. While the science fair is typically a common occurrence in any school at any grade level, there are different types of topics that should be taken a look at depending on the age of the student. After first taking a look at the many different categories of science projects, you will be able to locate a suitable choice of topic to take to the next level.There is a wide variety of categories that fall under the types of science projects that can be chosen for a school science fair. These include biology, chemistry, physics, microbiology, biochemistry, medicine, environmental, mathematics, engineering, and earth science. While you may not have yet learned very much in any of these categories, don’t be afraid to see what each one entails. Taking a good look at your interests will allow you to focus on the right direction to take.Many resources are also available for those who are unsure as to the topic they are wanting to use to create their science projects. If you take a look at the topics that fall under the biology category, you will likely notice that there are topics that deal with plants, animals, and humans. For those who are in 2nd grade or 3rd grade, an interesting topic may be to determine if ants are picky over what type of food they eat. While this topic might not be of interest to an 8th grader, it is certainly something in the biology category that an elementary school student would enjoy.Along with the biology category, a high school student may want to take a look at diffusion and osmosis in animal cells as this would be a more appropriate topic for the grade level. A student in 6th grade would be more advanced than an elementary school student, but not as advanced as a high school student. At this middle school grade level, a topic of how pH levels effect the lifespan of a tadpole may be of interest.Whichever resource is used to locate a topic for science projects, it is always a good idea to consider the grade level of the student prior to making a selection. It is always assumed to be best to have a project at an appropriate level in order to keep the attention of the student and provide a fun and enjoyable learning experience.

The artists later formed their own group, the Society for Traveling and Exhibiting Art. In the late 1800′s, conflict became evident between three art styles, idealism, classicism and Ideological realism. Realism then took center stage up until the late 1900′s. This group would later dedicate their energies to populist themes set in realism.Realism is a painting style that encompasses nature in its natural form. Nature is painted as it is with no objectivity to the stroke of the brush. It is a somewhat conservative art style. The first art paintings depicted in realism were dominated in themes based on the Russian Clergy, landscape and Russian peasantry.18th Century Art: Ideological RealismThe Society for Traveling and Exhibiting Art Organization was known as Peredvizhniki in Russian language. It translates to itinerants or travelers in English. Peredvizhniki was the movement that caused the Russian art to follow realism from the mid eighteen century up to early 1900. Their goal was to enhance social reform and promote national consciousness.Other famous artists that enhanced realism include Isaak Levitan, Mikhail Vrubel, Ivan Aivazovsky, Samuel Adlivankin, Abram Arkhipov, Alexey Venetsianov amongst many other artists. These artists would paint portraits and nature in its true form. The kind of art produced was inspired by everyday life and its occurrences. Some famous paintings of the1800′s include “A Kolkhoz Celebration”, “The Blue Expanse”, “The Year of 1918 in Petrograd” and “Stalin and Voroshirov in the Kremlin” amongst other paintings.19th Century Art: Romanticism and Neoclassicism Art StylesOne artist in particular had a massive impact on Western European influenced art styles restrictions. He helped overturn realism styles and allow appreciation for romanticism and neoclassic styles. He did the famous painting “The Last Day of Pompeii”. His name was Karl Briullov, a master painter of fine art. The painting was done in a neoclassical and Romanticism style.19th Century Art: The Slavic RevivalThe Slavic revival period lasted throughout the late 19th Century. This was a period of revival in Russian national heritage with art acquiring a medieval nature that best represented the Russian culture and way of life. It reintroduced Ideological realism with more symbolism and beauty in the paintings. One noteworthy painter during this period was Victor Vasnetsov. Vasnetsov painted Russia in the Kievan History.21st Century Art: A glimpse into Russian Contemporary ArtContemporary art embraces all things objective. It is not subject to natural rules and goes beyond imagination. It may use abstract objects to portray life and use living things to depict modernization. Contemporary art is modern in all sense of the word. It was born in Russia out of personalizing art and moving away from Stalin’s norms and the soviet culture. During the reign of Stalin, contemporary art was seen as an act of defiance.When Mikhail Gorbachev came into power, the rules changed and contemporary art could be publicly exhibited. He granted artists their freedom and removed all limitations placed by Stalin’s government. The aesthetic gap that had previously divided non-conformists and conformists of art disappeared and both worlds merged their art to create a combined theme of modern art.Contemporary art embraces iconography. This is iconic painting, which has long been in historic art but has been modified to include portraiture fused with spiritual life and mystic tendencies. It ultimately brings art to a completely new level of pluralistic styles that have fused into one major style, the contemporary art style. One example of contemporary art is George Skripnichenko’s painting titled “A Man is the Eyes Good” displayed in the Museum of Contemporary Russian Art.
