The Girl in the Checkered Scarf

Dima is a student at an art school. He adores his drawing teacher Andrei Vladimirovich, is very knowledgeable about painting, and gets along great with everyone around him. Together with his teacher and his art class, the boy goes on summer sketching trips, where he meets an exact copy, the object of his secret dreams – a real girl, resembling the image in Venezianova's painting "The Girl in the Checkered Scarf." Of course, he falls in love, but he doesn't yet understand that the painting, his dream, is not a living person and it shouldn't be as perfect as it is on the canvas! The novella The Girl in the Checkered Scarf received the youth jury prize at the VII International competition named after Sergey Mikhalkov. For middle and high school age.
