Gaidyr Nataliia

My name is  Gaiydur  Nataliia , I was born on January, 24, 1987  in Donetsk. Father, Kondrackiy Sergey -   an engineer, also worked as an architect. I inherted talent to drawing from him. Mother - Pavina Helen  is an economist.

Talent to drawing became apparent in childhood. I drew on everything: on  pieces of paper, in colorations, on books and even on new wallpapers!

In 1994 I went to the specialized humanitarian school  №95. At school I was always an activist. I was the head of my class and organizer of various concerts and competitions at school. I took part in every activity at school.

I always  studied excellently  and finished school with a gold medal. But the most significant event of my school years was my love to drawing. I am so grateful   to my teacher of drawing Legostaeva Larisa, who helped me develop not only  my talent but also such necessary qualities as assiduity, scrupulosity and Firmness of purpose.

I  came to the art school «Divo»  in 1996 and immediately felt like home. Results were visible  at once , I  became the winner of a  city competition of child and youth graphic creative works. I  am also a winner of the international competition «It is  all dear to me», the regional competition «Heirs to Kuindzhi»,  the regional competition of creative work «I give my voice for protection of nature».

Years of studying  at  a specialized humanitarian school gave me a chance to develop knowledge of Ukrainian. I am a winner  not only of artistic competitions but also of  literary once: 

•             2001 - winner of a competition of scientific research on Ukrainian literature 

•             2003 - winner  of the National  Ukrainian competition "Ukraine, I believe in your future!”

After I finished school I had to choose a higher educational establishment to continue studying. However at that moment there was no Higher Educational Establishment in our city which trained prepare professional designers, and there was not possibility to go to study in the capital.  When a PC appeared in our family my parents decided I should attend the group of informatics. As the result the alternative choice of profession was Faculty of Computers and Information Science. The specialty «economical cybernetics» took my fancy at once – it was new and creative! And it really turned out to  be so!

During my studying teachers of our University succeeded in developing  in us such necessary skills of work with a computer and programs without which we cannot  do  in age of new technologies.

Developing technologies generated new life in such professions as a designer and architect. Years spent   in Donetsk National Technical University, and especially the subject of computer graphics, allowed me to take a new look at my passion to drawing. And I realized that it is not enough only a talent. Nowadays it is necessary to master by programs  in the area of your knowledge .

My plans for the future include getting international certificate in English and finding a job with possibility of  putting  knowledge of English into practice and basic shell programs. I also hope it will require my talent to drawing and will offer nice career prospects.
