Often in cities you can see signs in which there is the word "studio". This is a fairly fashionable word, and its use in the name is considered by many to be a fashion trend. However, what it means, why certain institutions are called studios, is not known to many.
What is a studio
At its core, a studio is a room that serves certain purposes, and in which certain activities are conducted. And usually this is a creative activity. Everyone has heard about film studios, television studios, photo studios, studios of artists and sculptors. In addition, the so-called school of artists, sculptors and actors.
Today you can often hear the combination of "studio apartment". This phenomenon came to us from the West, and is known from many films and TV shows. In the meaning mentioned, a studio is an apartment in which there are no walls between the rooms, and the kitchen, living room and bedroom are one room.
In general, the word "studio" itself carries a shade of wide space, freedom. And in big cities you can meet him, in relation to different institutions.
Creative studios
Modern design studios are unlikely to resemble artists' workshops. In the current sense, a design studio is an organization that brings together creative people of various specializations to create unique things. So, the most famous and common studios that develop interior design. However, this is far from the only possible direction of creative work. A lot of studios involved in creating advertising, printing, prints, wardrobe items, event design.
In the West, individuality and creativity have always been valued. Nowadays, this trend is gaining strength in Russia. People of the post-Soviet space are increasingly interested in unusual, bright things, which emphasize their dissimilarity, to distinguish from the gray environment.
The place where they paint with light
At the time of the emergence of photography, photography itself became a real event, with large-scale preparation. As photographic equipment became more simple and accessible, the attitude to the process and its results also changed. For most people, it became enough to fill out albums with amateur photos on a soap dish. But in the 21st century, the tradition returns to do beautiful production for family albums. And many resort to such a service to decorate their page on social networks.
Demand creates supply, with the result that there are more and more photo studios. They differ from the usual photo salon in the presence of a variety of interiors, backgrounds, props. The most advanced ones will offer you the services of a makeup artist, stylist, hairdresser to make your photos perfect.
What, in addition to beautiful portraits, does the studio do? Photos can be created for completely different purposes: portfolio, love story, children's, wedding, reportage. Subject and advertising photography is also in demand.
Theatrical art to the masses
Now it becomes popular to have an interesting hobby and attend various classes: dancing, drawing, language courses. In our view, children are traditionally engaged in this. However, adults are beginning to realize that they, too, have a right to leisure. Theatrical circles, which now bear the more modern name of "theater studio" , are returning their popularity.
The program of their classes includes lessons in acting, plastic, stage dance , stage speech and oratory. Even if you do not want to be an actor, such classes can be useful for you, as they help you become more confident in yourself, stop being afraid of public speaking, and deliver a competent and beautiful speech. It will be useful for people of all ages.
Dancing school
Dancing has always been one of the most popular ways to spend leisure time. In themselves, they combine art and sport. In everyday life, modern people lack both of these elements. Many enroll in dance schools in order to get the lack of physical activity, make new friends and recharge with positive emotions. It is not necessary to become a professional at the same time, you can just enjoy dancing.
A dance studio can be either a whole school or a separate small hall. Large schools can offer instruction in more than 20 types of dances. And small schools usually have a certain direction: Latin American, oriental or classical ballroom dancing. If you wish, you can find rarer styles, such as Irish dancing or rock and roll. Many schools participate in city and regional competitions.
For the smallest
The phrase "children's studio" may not be very clear to the layman. A name that is more familiar to everyone is a school or an early development studio. Now many parents do not want to rely only on kindergartens and secondary schools in the education and development of children. After all, there are, as a rule, large groups, and the teacher can not always pay due attention to the baby. And in many cases, he does not have the proper competence for the full development of the child.
Most children's studios deal with children from one to seven years old. Up to three years, the brain develops most intensively, and it is important during this period to lay the foundation for the whole subsequent life.
In such schools, teachers take an individual approach to each child. Education includes the development of creative, physical abilities, emotional sphere, preparation for school. Children also learn languages, dance. At many children's studios there is also an art, music and theater class.
After visiting such a studio, children are prepared to study at school, confident in their abilities, and able to express their opinions.
Become a singer
There have always been many people who dream of becoming artists. Previously, to record your own song, you had to enlist the support of producers and composers, giving access to recording studios, of which there were few, and they were exclusively for professionals.
And today there are more opportunities to open your talent to the world. Many, for example, organize studios at home and distribute their work through the Internet. However, not everyone who wants to sing knows how to work with sound recording and editing. Also, in every city there are many young music groups that cannot afford to spend money on special equipment.
For such people, there are audio studios or recording studios. They have several rooms: a sound engineer’s room and a recording room, which is soundproofed. Some studios also have a control room and a listening room.
In a recording studio, you can record a song both for the purpose of further promotion and rotation on the radio, or just as a gift to loved ones.
