PEDAGOGICAL POTENTIAL OF DECORATIVE AND APPLIED ART TO FORM AESTHETIC CULTURE OF STUDENTS

Abstract

The article presents a comprehensive study of the modern process of formation of aesthetic culture in younger schoolchildren with the help of decorative and applied arts. Based on the analysis of current society’s development, as well as the use of data on the evolution that the primary education system has undergone in recent decades, it is concluded that it is necessary to take measures aimed at intensifying the students spiritual and moral development. The role that decorative and applied arts can play in the process of improving this primary education component is demonstrated. The work directions are proposed that potentially contribute to improving the effectiveness of development of aesthetic culture in primary school students. The author proposes criteria by which their effectiveness can be assessed and aspects necessary to be taken into account when planning and implementing such activities.
