Abstract: The significance and artistic results of the Far Eastern ceramic productions launched in the second half of the XX century and liquidated at the beginning of the XXI century, as well as the creativity of the masters and artists who worked for them, are currently insufficiently studied In the Primorsky Territory, this is largely due to the general decline of the industry, the complexity of collecting primary information, the lack of reliable data, the problem of attribution of products etc. The subject of the study is the activity of master artists who worked at the art ceramics factory in the city of Spassk-Dalny, Primorsky Krai. The research was carried out using a set of theoretical and empirical methods, including comparative-historical, biographical, formal-stylistic, as well as interview methods and included observation, which allowed to identify the key figures of the masters who influenced the formation of their own unique style characteristic of this plant. As a result of the study, it was found that the formation of the creative team was carried out both from visiting specialists with specialized education and from local artists. Among the most significant masters of the Spassky Art Ceramics Factory are E. E. Skurikhin, A. I. Gornich, S. V. Danilyuk, Z. H. Zhelandinova, V. A. Lavrenova, A. A. Lupey, N. B. Ovchinnikova, L. Y. Skrynnikova, O. Timofeeva. These artists have made a significant contribution to the improvement of molding technologies and decoration of utilitarian and highly artistic products. The results of the activity of master ceramists led to a significant evolution of the forms and types of decoration of the products of the Spassky Art Ceramics Factory, creating their own style based on ethnic and regional flavor. The presented information can be used for attribution of ceramic products, studying the specifics of the author's artistic ceramics of the XX – XXI centuries, forming a general picture of the evolution of Russian decorative and applied art.

Abstract: Today, university campuses are not only part of the university, but also part of the public space. The importance of these territories as an ecological, recreational and socio-cultural urban object is constantly increasing, which requires special attention to the appearance of both educational and administrative buildings and adjacent garden and park areas. The subject of the study was the possibility of aestheticizing park areas located around utilitarian objects of university campuses (parking lots, boiler rooms, technical warehouses, etc. objects). Traditionally, not enough attention is paid to these spaces. Using the example of the design concept of the reconstruction of the park parking area of the FEFU campus, the article presents a number of project proposals that contribute to the aestheticization of the space around these utilitarian university facilities. As a result of the study, it was found that due to the peculiarities of the relief, microclimate, as well as the existing layout, traditional gardening techniques are not effective and alternative solutions are required. 1. As the main artistic technique, it is proposed to use the principle of "alleyness" to give the integrity of the previously designed disparate sectors of the garden and park area around the parking lot. 2. The main decorative element selected art objects in the form of unique arches on the high points of the sectors, which are connected by paths surrounded by greenery. 3. The stone is used as a decorative element. Stone lawns are an important part of the design of the territories adjacent to the parking lot, solving the problem of freezing, burning out lawn covering. As a result, the formed park area with attractive artistic elements will bring the necessary aestheticization around the parking lot and create a visual dominant. The proposed solutions can be adapted to other objects of the university environment that are experiencing similar problems.
