16. About myself I chose the theme «Art & Artists» because I finished art school № 3. I like drawing and painting. When I have free time I usually paint something. I prefer drawing just for myself. I get a real pleasure of it. We travelled a lot with our art school, so I visited many Russian cities and towns, but I’ll never forget our trip to St.Petersburg, the centre of art and artists. So we were in «Hermitage» and in many others museums. It attracts many people up to now. So that's why this theme is closer to me. I chose the theme «Art & Artists» because I finished art school № 3.

But I didn't mention about famous sportsmen, politicians and businessmen and etc. It means that our republic is developing now and we have opportunities to reach high results.
