PEDAGOGICAL POTENTIAL OF AESTHETIC CONCEPTS OF ART FORM IN WORKS OF RUSSIAN ART HISTORIANS OF THE FIRST HALF OF 20 CENTURY

Abstract

The criteria of artistry in art raise a number of questions of scientific analysis. Firstly, how to interpret the concept of “art form” in the light of the consideration of processes in contemporary art? Secondly, how can it be used in the interpretation of works of art? Outstanding Russian art historians of the early twentieth century justify the meaning of the concept of “art form”. The authors study the works of V.B. Shklovsky, V.V. Kandinsky, B.I. Arvatov, A.V. Bakushinsky, A.V. Lunacharsky, I.L. Matsa, N.G. Mashkovtsev, A.A. Fedorov-Davydova, A.F. Losev and other national researchers. The article reveals the pedagogical potential of aesthetic concepts. It describes the content of such elements of the form as color, texture, form of planar imagery and design. It is noted that in the development of the scientific concept of “art form” its scope and content are changing. The authors conclude that compliance with modern trends requires updating the content of art education: it should include a formed emotional-value attitude to works of modern art from the point of view of creative design and means of artistic expressiveness.
