Practicing Freedom: Rethinking Art Education through Resistance and Observation
No full textIn the post-Soviet space, art education has increasingly been shaped by tensions between traditional academic approaches and the rise of informal, entertainment-oriented models of what is called “creative development”.
After a classical academic art school, many students give up drawing because of the complex presentation of information. In contrast to specialized art education, most modern creative studios for children have reformatted their approach to step-by-step instructions and copying of samples, which limits the independence of students and suppresses artistic development. In this article, the author offers a critical analysis of template teaching methods and substantiates the need to move to research-based learning formats.
Based on the author\u27s pedagogical practice, cases from 2018-2025 are presented, demonstrating how students, freed from rigid frameworks, are capable of meaningful and unique creative solutions, regardless of their talent. The importance of pedagogy focused on dialogue, the possibility of choice and the formation of the student\u27s authorial position is emphasized

The Development of a Fast and Reliable UV-Visible Spectrophotometric Method for the Quantification of Δ-9-THC and CBD in Plant Material
No full textThe 2018 farm bill legalized hemp containing less than 0.3% delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ-9-THC) by dry weight, leading to a shift from simple qualitative assessments to more complex quantitative analysis. The legalization of hemp also caused the popularity of cannabis to rise with a high number of cannabis plant seizures by the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA). A UV-Visible spectrophotometric (UV-VIS) method was developed using Fast Blue B Salt (FBB) to quantify both Δ-9-THC and Cannabidiol (CBD) in plant samples. This method was then compared to Gas Chromatography Mass Spectroscopy (GC-MS), which is currently the standard method for marijuana-hemp concentration determinations in forensic laboratories. Four plant samples were obtained from the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) Resource Center for Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research (R3CR) and were analyzed using both UV-VIS and GC-MS instrumentation. Three samples showed variation between instrument techniques with percent differences of 55-119% and 57-173% for Δ-9-THC and CBD, respectively. The fourth sample showed percent difference of 15% and 6% for Δ-9-THC and CBD, respectively. Although there was variation in quantified concentrations, both methods estimated concentrations were consistent with marijuana, as THC levels exceeded 0.6%. This study demonstrates the UV-VIS method may serve as a practical, fast, and cost-efficient tool for presumptive differentiation of marijuana and hemp. This method would be most advantageous to smaller resource-limited laboratories as well as alleviate the caseload pressure on larger forensic labs
