7. Do you think it would be interesting for you to be an artist?
- In some ways, yes. I love the idea of having total creative freedom and being able to bring ideas to life visually. But at the same time, I know it takes a lot of dedication and skill, so I’m not sure if I’d be cut out for it.

5. Did you like art classes at school?
- Yes, I did... I passionately took part in each art class... Because during only these classes, I felt like a real child... kind of... I could freely use my imagination and creativity to create some MASTERPIECES.😅.. As there were no right or wrong answers... I just kept doing what I wanted... I would say...

4. Have you ever had art classes?
- Yes, I have.. I think when I was 12, I used to take art classes for a month or two... I can clearly remember those times when we were intrigued by our own paintings, our teacher would instruct us how to properly handle brushes and which one to use to give enough boldness to our works..

3. Have you ever visited an art gallery?
- Not once or twice, but several times... For example, quite recently My course mates from the institute and I have gone to an art gallery called Pushkinsy, which is in the heart of our city... The gallery was full of different types of paintings, several sculptures... Although most of them were created local artists, they were really impressive...

2. Do you like art?
Yes, I do. I find art really invigorating... I mostly love paintings created with only using black pencils... I mean.... Sketches.. Such paintings always grab my attention and encourages to reflect my thoughts...

1. Do you like modern or traditional art?
I would say I’m more inclined towards traditional art because of its depth and historical significance. I love how classical paintings capture emotions and tell stories in a way that’s both elegant and intricate. Especially those from artists like Van Gogh and Da Vinci

A few months ago – but it feels a lot longer – I visited the European headquarters of Steelcase, the office furniture designers, in Munich. In their (of course) beautifully appointed building, their senior vice president, Guillaume Alvarez, told me how important it was to create workplaces that people wanted to turn up to, especially in cities where housing costs were high. “An office is not a factory,” he told me. “You mustn’t kill the human interaction. You lose so much when people don’t get together.”
And he added – although it didn’t seem so significant at the time – “there is very little small talk in video conferencing”.

The table compares the amounts of the forest area of six different continents, namely Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, Oceania, and South America between 1990 and 2005. Units are measured in millions of hectares.

Overall, while the size of forests in Asia and Europe increased slightly, the reverse was true for the other continents, with their figures declining to varying degrees throughout the given period. It is also clear that Europe covered the largest forest area both in the initial and final years.

In 19990, Europe was the leading country in terms of occupying forest areas, with 989. Over the next 15 years, the amount of forest area in this continent increased steadily, climbing to 998 in 2000 and reaching a peak of 1001 in 2005. Similarly, the amount of forest area in Asia, starting with 576 in 1990, decreased to 570 in 2000. This figure then recovered and registered a considerable growth, finishing at 584 at the end of the period.

Focusing on the continents whose forest area saw a negligible downward trend, the forest occupied 708 million hectares in North America whereas Oceania had significantly smaller area of forest (199). Over the next decade, there were marginal declines in both regions, with the former decreasing to 705 and the latter to 198. Although North America maintained its previous figure by the end of the period, Oceania’s forest area again went down slightly to 197 in 2005.

Regarding the last two regions, the forest area covered 946 million hectares in South America – the second largest continent, this number was then followed by pronounced declines until 2005, dropping to 882 in the final year. Africa’s forest area stood at 749 in 1990, a figure that then decreased considerably to 709 in 2000 and 691 in 2005.
