You can often see signs in cities that have the word "studio". This is a rather fashionable word, and many consider its use in the title as 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 space that serves certain purposes and in which certain activities are carried out. And usually it is a creative activity. Everyone has heard about film studios, television studios, photo studios, studios of artists and sculptors. In addition, this is the name of the schools of artists, sculptors and actors.
Today you can often hear the combination "apartment-studio". This phenomenon came to us from the West, and is known from many films and TV shows. In the mentioned meaning, a studio is an apartment in which there are no walls between rooms, and the kitchen, living room and bedroom are one room.
In general, the very word "studio" carries a connotation of wide space, freedom. And in big cities you can meet him, in relation to different establishments.
Creative studios
Modern design studios are hardly like artists' studios. In the current sense, a design studio is an organization that brings together creativepeople of various specializations to create unique things. So, the most famous and widespread studios that develop interior design. However, this is far from the only possible direction of creative work. There are many studios involved in the creation of advertising, printing, printed publications, wardrobe items, and event design.
In the West, individuality and creativity have always been valued. In our time, this trend is gaining momentum in Russia. The people of the post-Soviet space are increasingly interested in unusual, bright things that will emphasize their dissimilarity, distinguish them from the gray environment.
A place where people 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 and more simple and accessible, attitudes towards the process and its results also changed. For most people, it has become enough to fill albums with amateur photos on a soap dish. But in the 21st century, the tradition of making beautiful staged shots for family albums is returning. And many resort to such a service to decorate their social media page.
Demand creates supply, resulting in more and more photo studios. They differ from the usual photo salon in the presence of a variety of interiors, backgrounds, props. In the most advanced ones, you will be offered 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. Product and advertising photography is also in demand.
Theatrical art to the masses
It is now becoming popular to have an interesting hobby and attend various classes: dancing, drawing, language courses. In our view, this is traditionally done by children. However, adults are beginning to understand that they, too, have the right to leisure. Theatrical circles are regaining their popularity, which now bear the more modern name "theatrical studio".
The program of their classes includes lessons in acting, plastic arts, 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 self-confident, stop being afraid of public speaking, and deliver a competent and beautiful speech. It will be useful for people of all ages.
Dance School
Dancing has always been one of the most popular leisure activities. They combine art and sport in themselves. Modern people in everyday life lack both of these elements. Many enroll in dance schools to get the missing physical activity, make new friends and recharge with positive emotions. You don't have to be a pro, you can just enjoy dancing.
A dance studio can be like a wholeschool and a separate small room. Large schools may offer training in more than 20 types of dances. And small schools usually have a certain direction: Latin American, oriental or classical ballroom dancing. If desired, you can find more rare styles, such as Irish dancing or rock and roll. Many schools participate in city and regional competitions.
For the little ones
The phrase "children's studio" may not be very clear to the layman. A more familiar name is a school or early development studio. Now many parents do not want to rely only on kindergartens and comprehensive schools in the education and development of children. After all, there are, as a rule, large groups, and the teacher cannot always pay due attention to the baby. And in many cases, he does not have the necessary competence for the comprehensive development of the child.
Most children's studios work with children from one to seven years old. Until the age of three, the brain develops most intensively, and it is during this period that it is important to lay the foundation for the rest of your life.
In such schools, teachers apply an individual approach to each child. Education includes the development of creative, physical abilities, emotional sphere, preparation for school. Children also learn languages and dance. Many children's studios also have art, music and theater classes.
After visiting such a studio, children are prepared for school, confident in their abilities, able to express their opinion.
Becomesinger
There have always been many people who dream of becoming artists. Previously, in order 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 creativity via 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 bands who 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 for further promotion and rotation on the radio, or just as a gift to loved ones.
