"Alex's art course provides a few hours for yourself and your creation. In a very pleasant and comfortable space, with music, with a group of diverse artists of all genders, ages, with talent and abilities at different levels that enable creation without judgment, and very free and empowering learning. The tools that Alex gives along the way Everything is so unique and professional, very knowledgeable about everything related to art, painting and sculpture, providing techniques and looking at your personal creation from more accurate and correct eyes to achieve results far beyond the limits of your ability. You learn from Alex not only to paint, but also a lot about life. Looking at the way Expressing yourself through art teaches a lot about your outlook on life and Alex provides it in the simplest and most profound way possible. I highly recommend it. I feel that this is the right place to be for anyone who loves to create and wants to develop, and also for those who don't have the time for it in the race of life. Four hours that are completely yours accompanied by empowering and endless learning!!!"

"About three years ago there was a turning point in my life. I decided to try my hand at painting and called the People's University. Since it was the middle of the year, they sent me to try sculpture. That's how I got to know Alex. I started sculpting, and meeting art, and sculpture in particular, changed my life. From there I went on and on in this endeavor and the "blame" is on Alex. I want to thank him for enriching my life. For being the wind that blows in my sails. For the encouragement and support. For strengthening my faith in myself and what I create. But above all, Alex, for a friend, "A teacher, understands and supports. Thanks to him, sculpture has become a way of life, a means of expression and even a means of healing for me. In the short journey I have taken, I have acquired knowledge, appetite and energy to continue experimenting in other fields of art.

"I, Yehudit Doron, participate in Alex's sculpture class, bring you some of my heart's feelings after joining the sculpture class and what it did for me. Most of my years I spent studying and working and using common sense, about two years ago I retired and joined the sculpture class led by Alex Cherkov. In the class he is in groups and yet he has an individual character. Each student receives personal treatment from Alex. The study is systematic according to topics, for example: first learn to deal with the material; move to building bodies in the inanimate field, animals, building heads, face and parts, body building Complete, sculpting themes from the Bible, from the realm of the Jewish town, and finally we came to abstract themes and everything is imaginative. I must emphasize that, in addition to pleasant hours spent in the company, the sculpture class gave me a lot of satisfaction and joy of creation, as well as self-expression and enjoyment of the creative ability that lies within us. There is another benefit to using clay - this material strengthens the bones, and it is a good massage for the hands - and the sculpture itself is a good massage for the soul. "

"The workshop under the guidance of Alex Cherkov is a most enjoyable experience. Alex's approach to each student, the desire to impart knowledge to his students, whether in practical work or lectures, testifies to his love for his students and teaching and teaching and love of art. "I manage to create things I did not think I could do. Alexander's guidance, the personal and warm treatment he gives to each and every one, encourages me and makes the best out of sculpture. I draw great satisfaction from the course and it is a pleasure for me to attend every lesson."

"I would like to write about our sculpture teacher Mr. Alexander Cherkov and it is difficult for me to decide where to start. Is it about his great talent, his endearing personality, his success as a teacher or his success in sweeping us love of sculpture. We came to class without any knowledge but with great curiosity and Alex knew how to teach We are almost out of nowhere, we were really like material in the hands of the creator and slowly we walked with his help and patience one step further and another, we were like a child using an adult hand and then we walked almost alone and all thanks to the talent, patience, encouragement and love we received from him. I think the most important thing in these lessons is the joy of creation, the love of sculpture that intensifies every lesson. We "live" according to our own schedule, longing for the Sunday that the lesson takes place, trying to postpone events that take place on Sundays and all so that we do not miss a single lesson because we are happy when we create and forget all the troubles in the world and all thanks to teacher Alex. We were lucky to have such a teacher. His modesty, great talent, willingness to give and help taught us to be independent and to drift together in the happiness of creation. "

"It is said that every person has a substitute. If we want to find a replacement for Alex, the first thing we need to do is look for an artist. We can tour galleries and workshops, and we will surely find a worthy artist there. But this is not enough, we will also have to find a teacher, one who has multiple knowledge and proper manners and has the patience and ability to convey the material in the best way. And when it's found, it's not enough. Now we will have to ask a psychologist, who knew how to penetrate the depths of our souls, to see the hidden there and to publish them. One who knew how to address each and every one in his special language. Routing fears and revealing anger. To give place to joy and happiness, hidden or visible, and to produce the best. With these three experts, we must now go out and look for the philosopher, who will teach us to give meaning to things, that every mirror has its truth, and in everything there is life, even in the inanimate object. Let him show us the way and guide us how to walk it. Now I was told, isn't it simpler to stay with Alex, instead of going out and looking for four professionals? Because Alex is all those experts I just mentioned. He is a teacher, he is a psychologist, he is a philosopher - and above all he is an artist. Art is a journey into vanishing worlds, revealed only by those who are willing to take the risk of the journey. And as with any journey, you have to learn the path and you also have to know a little bit to get lost. Alex hands us the compass, which points us in the right direction. Then he stands aside and lets us stray, and find the way again. He puts tools in our hands. He gives us wings, but is educated to let us learn for ourselves how to fly. It gives us a new perspective so that we can see the proportion and harmony in either a grotesque figure or a distortion. See the beauty in ugliness. Because seeing the beauty and proportion in the body of a shapely model, (you know 90,60,90), almost anyone can. As we follow Alex's guiding hands, we are mesmerized. These are the hands of an artist. We see his fingers and they, like the fingers of a pianist on the keyboards, vibrate differently, according to the colors they touch. Alex has strong hands, with intertwined muscles, but how gently they touch the statue. Like in a love game with a woman, they caress sensually and give shape… Then he strikes with a scurvy finger, wakes us up from our shrugs and says, “Now you. Once in one of the somewhat philosophical conversations we had you asked me why I draw? And you also asked me what do I find in sculpture? It is not difficult for me to answer this question. Painting and sculpting for me is taking my self out, it's my conversation with myself. The brush floating on the canvas does what it has to do and the painting stops in a certain place but it is not over. The material gets the shape and face that is hidden inside me but to let the brush do its thing I need a guiding hand and to get out the sculpture that is hidden inside me I need help. I found this help in you, Alex. You know how to touch those delicate capillaries and detail them so I can see the right color and the right proportions in the sculpture, even if it is abstract (literally). You revealed to me the secret of how to express things in two-dimensional or three-dimensional form (only the fourth dimension I have not yet discovered). You understand my thoughts even if I do not know how to detail, and you guide me in the right direction. You know how to advise me how to express my special feeling on the canvas or in the material. One word of yours, a light touch and suddenly everything is understood, everything pops up and breaks out. Shadows shorten or lengthen, colors get their light, curves round and faces get expression. You teach me to express in the material feelings of love or anger, compassion or power and especially beauty. You taught me to see beauty in everything, because according to you beauty is in everything just need to know how to look. The dictionary says that a teacher is someone who imparts knowledge. You are Alex more than that, because in addition to the vast knowledge you impart has the added value, it is the same thing that makes me follow you to learn more.

"I signed up for a sculpture course 3 years ago. I was very curious to know what awaited me, I have been painting and drawing for many years so this course seemed to me a suitable addition in terms of creativity. And so the meeting with a teacher and artist from Russia where he was a well known and esteemed artist began. When we started the first lesson we students stood in a circle around Alex who taught us the basics of sculpture, we saw how he takes the clay in his hands and turns it into a shape with an expression so we stood with our mouths open with pleasure to look at it, so was our initial meeting with Alex Now after 3 years the group continues the classes with a lot of fun and creative emotion every week. The group has held beautiful and fun exhibitions over these years. How can I describe Alex? It is very simple, talented, sensitive, supportive and intelligent and above all a good person. I end with thanks and admiration for my teacher Alex. "

"4 years ago I came to Alex's studio with no previous experience in real painting. Today I paint in oil paints, in putty. I discovered that I paint with great pleasure and joy in the results. One thing is clear, I learned from Alex a whole world. To his credit, his every comment brightens my eyes and completes. the painting."

"I have been a sculptor of Mr. Alex Cherkov's since the summer of 2005. Alex instructs me in sculpting the human body from a living model, emphasizing the organs of the body and the face and the relationship between them. We also engage in free sculpture. I learn a lot from him and also enjoy the professional and relevant atmosphere in classes. "Alex is a professional and dedicated teacher and instructor and is generally appreciated."

"A little over a year of co-creation in your studio, passed and ended. I came with a lot of worries and little doubts and came out at the end of a strengthened period, with knowledge that in your wisdom you knew how to pass on and experience. In your special way, philosophy, extensive general knowledge, you opened a wide and fascinating window Whole, the world of art and creativity.Although it has been a bit difficult for me lately, I have managed to gather myself with your words of encouragement and support.Wish you all the best, lots of talented and pleasant students who will continue to spend your day in the challenges and warmth that characterizes you. Love and in your own way. Hope to see you next year or so for your lectures. With much appreciation and appreciation for your investment and dedication. "

"The beginning of my work in sculpture was completely different from the sequel. You could say when I started I was not particularly excited. The satisfaction and enjoyment came later as I progressed. The most significant change that also led to surprising results was when I started working with teacher Alexander Cherkov. Who helped me build the sculpture in stages. In a logical, scientific and clear way. It fits very well with my way of thinking and working. Alex's emphasis on proportions, on the relationship between the body parts of the character, learning about the difference between a child's body structure and an adult's body structure, The difference between the body structure of an adult woman and the body structure of a girl, helps to achieve surprising and interesting results. It is clear that personal talent affects, but getting the right and scientific foundation realizes personal talent in full force. Clear frustrations exist, hesitations certainly exist, "I do not always reach my goal. Here in situations like this, Alex commented on directions of thought that helped me and contributed to ideas that I did not think in their direction. Thank you very much Alex."

"I own a business that in my spare time is a sculptor in the sculpture workshop led by Alexander Cherkov. This is the time I enjoy every moment. I arrive half an hour ahead of time and walk half an hour after the time and those three hours fly by. The sculptures I manage to make there with the help of "Alex decorates my house and makes me very happy. Who will give and enjoy everything in my life as I enjoy sculpting with Alex."

"I was once asked how I started sculpting. The truth is, it happened at a pretty old age - over 50, quite by chance I came across the prospect of the Schneiderman Institute which is close to my house and decided to give it a try. I peeked and 'got hurt'. This is his pleasant atmosphere and smile, ease, stress, acceptance and encouragement and all this together with high professionalism.Alex does not dictate a theme or style, he allows each student to choose his theme and style, and while working he helps him progress and develop the sculpture he has chosen to make. He intervenes exactly in the dose that everyone allows him - to me for example he comes with both hands behind his back. He will of course wake up and explain but will not touch the statue - unless I agree. And all with a smile! And all his touch with clay is a magic touch! Minimum of correction - and everything takes shape New.However - there is a lot to learn: how to sculpt a head, face, proportions, movement, expression, realistic or abstract, plaster cast or fire finish.I have no doubt that if I like sculpting it is thanks to Alex, and if I have progressed - it is definitely thanks to him! And I will not replace him with any other teacher !!! "

"How did it go so fast… Too bad it all has to suddenly end. So to make the breakup a little easier, I wanted to say a little word to you, with a big meaning: T-W-D-H! Thank you for four amazing years, in which you have invested, You taught, worked hard and gave. Thank you for all the wonderful moments, and experiences we went through all the days, thank you for your patience and faith, for the hope you gave, for the understanding. You are an amazing person and there is no arguing, the years passed as fast as the wind. I will go on your way, for you I will walk.

"In the old age home, among the ceramics students there was a mood of melancholy, the ceramics instructor was fired or left due to lack of chemistry with the house management. In the early years we had a ceramics instructor, a man we liked not because he was a good instructor or a charismatic man but because we loved the hobby. I do not remember how long it took, maybe a week or two and here's our culture coordinator, introduced us to the new instructor, Alex Cherkov. At first we treated him with apprehension and wonder, did he have the knowledge his predecessor had, and the patience needed to teach seniors. Traits that are not inherent in the character of any teacher.Shortly, after a few lessons we came to know that this teacher's fitness is above and beyond our expectations. True, we were new to this hobby, but until that day we had not encountered a person with such wonderful skills. , A man whose fingers create in moments what others create with hardship and effort for many weeks. Drink in his pulp and change the c The raw ruth to a perfect figure whose organs are full of grace and delicacy. There is no doubt that our house has acquired an artist with a rare stature, a man of clusters, of his stature and above in both sculpture and painting and especially with a human attitude and patience. This person is a precious asset to our home. "

"There are not enough words in my mouth to praise and glorify the teacher and artist Alexander (Alex) Cherkov. Since I moved to study painting with him (I had teachers before him) I have taken a huge step forward. Like me, the other students in classes, among them such, who are not" born with a brush in hand ", But Alex with his talent and patience took them out of nowhere and put them on the road and the results are amazing. I will further note that the demand to enter to study in his classrooms is great and over time more classrooms have been added to alleviate the pressure of demand."

"I came to Alex Cherkov's studio 6 years ago completely inexperienced with a desire to sculpt. Alex in his professional, artistic and philosophical way instills in students confidence and belief that in every person there is the artist, the creator allows the student to express and express himself and yet teaches and shares his vast knowledge along the way. Pleasant, supportive and combined with a deep philosophical vision, a family atmosphere and a pleasant atmosphere in the studio and completely obscures the fact that it takes place inside a public shelter in Givatayim. Highly recommend to anyone who has a desire to sculpt or paint. "

"I will start with the fact that since I was a girl, then a girl, a woman, I dream and hope that one day I will learn to sculpt (no matter what material) to fulfill my dream and I want to engage in sculpture. Fortunately my dream came true (albeit late) and three years ago Alex appeared at our club like an angel A dream come true, in fact, and for that I am very happy and thankful for him. I must note that the sculptural works that I and my classmates create do not fall short of the artwork of any other artist. This can be seen and not just heard from admiration from friends, family and the environment. "I have been sculpting for at least a number of years and I find it hard to believe that these are works that were sculpted in a sculpture circle and that is of course thanks to Alex and thanks to his patience."

"For years I have been studying painting with the teacher Alex Cherkov. I note with great sympathy the contribution of the teacher, thanks to his professional and supportive approach throughout, Alexander (or Alex as we call him) is very knowledgeable, patient, humble and down-to-earth, has An excellent approach to the guidance of adults, a teacher and a friend and the results speak for themselves. I think it is important, necessary and highly desirable to allow him to open a painting class with urban public support. All the participants in the class in the art workshops are of the opinion that this experience cannot be stopped, it should be given a continuation and even momentum with the help of the appropriate factors At the municipality. My hope is that he will make a special effort on the part of our municipality, which is so outstanding in its concern for pensioners, that it will show a sympathetic interest in my request."

"At the end of the first semester of the sculpture class with teacher Alex Cherkov I must say that I get to study with a 'real teacher' who treats me and each student personally by guiding us to achieve high and satisfactory results. Alex does not rest for a moment, during the lesson passes from one "Secondly, he explains, corrects and mainly talks to each student about his work, usually so that the student himself will formulate his ideas.

"Alex set up the workshop with his ten fingers and raised many generations of students. Thanks to his radiant personality, professionalism and vast knowledge, the workshop became a magnet for many students, who came to learn and develop in painting and sculpture. Word of mouth carried Alex's name and so did I, like many others. Alex studied sculpture with Alex 3 years ago. Alex, the artist and teacher with great doctrine and knowledge, connected to all the inclinations and desires of each student, promoted him with kindness and professionalism, patience and great investment and instilled in him a belief in his abilities. He does not skip anyone. He examines and looks, explains and sometimes touches and demonstrates, makes a comment that manages to produce a different insight, a new direction that will promote the act of creation. Each student in the workshop works on something different and Alex in his special way manages to connect to everything the student chooses to do. For me it was an experience to come to Alex's workshop every Sunday evening and work in it. I was happy to start a new work week in the sculpture workshop. For years I dreamed of sculpting and with Alex's help, I was able to fulfill a dream, overcoming a gap of 30 years since I stopped studying art. . "

Another year has passed and I would like to say: Thank you! Being a student of an artist like Alex and creating under his examining and professional eyes is an experience. Like a good teacher does not spare explanations. We started with "small", we created body parts: hand, foot… We sculpted the parts of the face Separately like: ear, nose, eyes and everything while paying attention to accuracy, and meaning direction of each line.Each slightest change gives a different character to the work his professional book ← "The Head" which explains how to sculpt a head, step by step helped me and my many friends. The booklet is not "afraid" to sculpt my head. Alex encourages the freedom of creation and directs us to give our imagination a limit to the material and conditions, the works are varied and creativity celebrates. Sometimes we work for many months on one piece when involved in the whole process In the oven. Thanks to his professionalism, extensive experience and boundless patience he does not give up and brings the finished product to perfection. We look forward to Sunday… Only an important family event prevents us from coming to class. But we leave at the end of the class smiling and full of energy R. evacuated the sentence: "Getting to this meeting on Sunday is cheaper and more efficient than a visit to a psychiatrist + bonus ← the work. Alex, I wish you many creative years in good health and joy. "

"The painting class has been accompanied for two years by the painter - teacher Alexander Cherkov, and seems to have no substitute! Alex came to us from a long-standing artistic tradition and served us as both artist and pedagogue: his ability to guide professionally in various art subjects and his ability to listen to any student "Like her.

"Cherkov allows the artist to develop into sculpture, drawing and painting, in each of the fields Alexander Cherkov has a great deal of knowledge through which he develops the artist's abilities. Personally from clay sculpture, I learned to make plaster molds, rubber molds, cast sculptures from polymeric material, experiment with painting, and casting "Wax sculptures in preparation for a bronze sculpture. In fact, I was given all the tools to make sculptures from different materials."

The painting and sculpture class is not just a painting and sculpture class but first and foremost an awareness workshop that led me to first observe…. Understand processes. Many are teachers today in every possible field, but a teacher like Alex will always be familiar In my mouth and in my heart. Thank you for who you are, for the vast knowledge that lies within you, for the sensitivity, the humor, the warm and personal attitude. The classes gave me a lot, thank you for that "

"About 10 years ago, my late neighbor Aharon Fibron (died 3 years ago) contacted me. The late Aaron was full of enthusiasm for Alex, I was enthusiastic about the sculptures of the late Aaron and the late Aaron was enthusiastic about his teacher Alex. Aaron managed to convince me to join the sculpture department at the folk high school only after 7 years. Resident of Petah Tikva and working until 18:00. About 3 years ago I decided to join the class, I turned to my superiors to leave work at 16:30, and it is clear that each time I am deducted from my salary for an hour and a half. Despite the difficulties and traffic jams not only did I not give up - I am not willing to give up a lesson with Alex. Alex is a personality both as a very talented artist and as a person. Patient, polite, cultured and few get to learn from a person like him. He invests his whole being in study and stays well above working hours. He moves from student to student and always with a smile and encouragement. So I keep learning and only with him when you leave home do you know it was fun and there is more to learn from him. "

In a painting lesson I learned to paint and I have different and varied paintings with his help, support and encouragement.

His students. To each one he pays attention, guides and helps with the sculpture and patiently explains how to create appropriate dimensions, volume and proportion for the various sculptures. He allows each student to choose the subjects he sculpts and guides each of us kindly. I always felt I was progressing in the sculpture work under Alex "Alex is an artist.

Without any experience, thanks to the confidence and guidance he gives students at the beginning and later I started creating sculptures that impressed me first because I did not believe I could achieve "So far, I have created over 10 original sculptures - not copies.

"I first heard about you from a friend who studied with you and told me that she has an excellent sculpture teacher named" Alex Cherkov ". After I started attending your classes, I saw in front of a pleasant person sensitive and quiet walks. I really liked the atmosphere in your classes, and time always passed with fun and enjoyment, With seriousness and learning on the one hand and humor on the other. After a while I felt progress, I learned to approach the material differently, understand proportions, color and more and more. So I also began to appreciate your teacher, not only a sculptor who creates but also a teacher who knows how to convey his knowledge "To consider the student's wishes. I thank you for this period and for what you have taught me so far. And I very much hope that I can continue to sculpt under your guidance. With great appreciation."

"Alex, soon the first period of getting to know the sculpture and you as a teacher will end. Teacher, this is a word that has devalued, unfortunately. It is important for me to pass on to you the value that this function repeats and receives, through you as a path teacher, a master. You do well to aim at the truth of a path seeker. As a creator, you know how to find, where others grope in the dark. I found a poem, written by Yehuda Amichai in his last collection of poems - open closed open: "All the movements and all the positions in my body have already been done before, I sit on a chair and think like Rodan's thinker. And since I sat folded in my mother's bowels, I have the wisdom of the folding chair. My hands are raised up like Moses' hands when he lifted the tablets of the covenant, my hands are raised without holding anything, a little in bewilderment, a little in despair. I hug like King David on the roof or helplessly like Jesus on the cross, but my hands are free, I search..." Thus Yehuda Amichai, the poet, knows how to find freedom, create and observe. Thanks to you"

It's hard to define and tell how much painting added content and interest to my life and how much I learned from your vast experience, patience and ability to pass on the knowledge.

"Since my childhood I have loved art and tried different fields in it. Even during my years as a teacher, I have always been involved in art, school and home. Art was" for the soul ". After retiring from my job at the Ministry of Education, I continued to work in art. This field, too. Although I was involved in various arts, I never touched on the material. I was looking for a class to join, but since it was after the beginning of the year, I could not find a place in Petah Tikva, where I live. Luckily (yes, it was luck) there was a place with Alexander Cherkov. I arrived at the studio in Givatayim and started, for the first time in my life, working with material. "I was touched and hurt," I fell in love with sculpture, working in 8D and I continue this work to this day, for about XNUMX years. I am sure that the great knowledge and professionalism of Alex and the atmosphere in the studio - were the factors for love and perseverance in sculpture. Since then, I have been involved in sculpture in various materials, but I have not left the material. I must point out that everything I know about sculpture: working with material, proportions, painting, etc. - are thanks to Alex. Thanks to art I have known lovely people in the country and in other countries in the world, people I would not have reached in any other way. Some, though, have become real friends. The pursuit of art fills my world (in addition to my children and grandchildren) and enriches it. I ask the one who sits on high to give me the strength to continue engaging in art. And again thanks to Alex who opened a big window for me into the world of sculpture. Thanks!"

The activity in the workshop was very professional and the atmosphere was very pleasant and" I want to thank you Alex - a rare teacher with great knowledge, an examining eye and true artistic sensitivity, understanding, considerate, true guide. I had a fruitful year in your workshop, I enjoyed every moment and I feel that I have developed and learned a lot. I feel that you have managed to gently and sensitively guide me to find my way in painting, without trying to change me, but only to improve and promote. Every time I come to your class I accumulate renewed energies, learn new things, get important tips from you, philosophical ideas for life, cheer, encouragement and lots of humor. Of course I feel that I am only at the beginning of the road, and hope to continue with you and with the students who support and support the workshop next year as well, and if possible - up to 120!

"My participation in the sculpture class with Alex Cherkov stemmed from my need to look for improvement in sculpture techniques. I thought of course that I know how to sculpt and that I already sculpt. Of course when I entered the class at Alex, I immediately realized that I know nothing and far from being a sculptor of course. In short, Alex instilled in us technical foundations, anatomy and proportions. In his relaxed and captivating personality with great charm, without arrogance, while demonstrating great knowledge and broad education, in a social approach he was able to accompany each student according to his skills and work style. "Acquiring many knowledge and techniques. Alex was an embarrassed teacher for me and trained me with a commendable skill. The many exhibitions he prepared with his students a thousand times over his skills as an artist and teacher, mastery of the material, professional knowledge that knows no bounds in all areas of sculpture."

"Hello Alex, the excellent teacher of painting. I have been studying painting with you for more than two years. I am now summarizing my achievements in a relatively short period of time and I come to the conclusion that these two years promoted me from elementary school to high school and maybe even more. And also opened up to me new and interesting ways of looking at artists' drawings, painting technique, and use of colors etc. Your classes have a great atmosphere, your instructions are given to each of us clearly and patiently and also gently. In short, learn from you - interesting and fun. "That you give us once a month - that they are important and give a lot of knowledge in painting. I want to hope that I can continue to study with you.

Not only the professional, but also the calm and magical atmosphere he creates in the classroom and which manages to bring out amazing skills in each of us. His professional ability to guide us, help us with professional points and encourage the strengths of each of us, makes us sculpt sculptures that make "wow" shouts from anyone watching "I'm been in Alex's class for about three years and the amount of classes I missed during that time is minimal.

"I, Rabinovich Yona, am studying with Alex Cherkov for a third year as part of a sculpture class. I started without any knowledge and basis on the subject of sculpture and now I sculpt unique and original sculptures that are highly valued. Alex introduced us to the work material - clay, explained its properties and guided us. While working we learned to deal with the material and its problems and we reached impressive achievements under the patient and professional guidance of Alex. The subject of "the head" was given special attention with the help of the excellent booklet written by Alex and which clearly explains the stages of work. Alex is an exceptionally professional and talented sculptor who puts a lot of effort into personal guidance for each student according to his ability and pace of progress. To put his dreams and imaginations into action, above all, Alex's pleasant and welcoming personality makes all students enjoy their time in class and everyone enjoys the hobby of sculpture. The interesting conversations that Alex and the students had To the sea in terms of philosophy, culture, art, etc. add a layer of intelligence, interest and "spiciness" to the lessons. For these reasons I very much enjoy attending a sculpture class led by Alex Cherkov and make efforts to come even when I am out of town. I am very grateful to Alex for the guidance, help, physical investment, and answering all my requests. I wish Alex great success in all his endeavors. "

Alex is a great teacher in painting and sculpture, and in both I love to create. Alex has great knowledge and worldview Interesting. He imparts this knowledge to his students with a lot of good will and love. (I was also with a teacher who did not want to teach his unique knowledge for fear of competition) I feel that in Cherkov the study is in-depth and on the other hand every student is given freedom of choice and creation. In many places, in private circles and at the Avni Institute. And there is nothing like Alex! "

Many people who choose to teach and impart from their knowledge and talent, but from my acquaintance with Alex as a teacher and instructor in the course, he did so with great talent, incredible patience and with a smile and acceptance regularly on his lips. I retired from my job about 8 years ago, and now I am retired. I finally have the time and motivation to pursue my hobbies. I have previously signed up for several classes, and have known all kinds of instructors and teachers in the field of sculpture, but with such a desire, knowledge and care, I have not encountered before. In a few of these lines I must point out that I feel a great privilege to learn from Alex's knowledge and talent and overall wish him success along the way. "
