FORMATION OF ARTISTIC AND CREATIVE ABILITIES OF POLYTECHNIC COLLEGE STUDENTS: THEORY AND PRACTICE

Abstract

The article updates a problem of developing artistic and creative abilities among mid-level polytechnic specialists, highlighting the abilities responsible for the development of creative potential of graduates. The authors note that thanks to developed artistic and creative abilities a future specialist has his own way of development and ideas, his own projects and discoveries, which ultimately improve the quality of the final product. An analysis is given of the practical results of the ascertaining stage of the experimental work of the study, during which the authors, using adapted techniques, present the levels of formation of artistic and creative abilities of polytechnic college students. As part of the ascertaining stage, students’ drawings in computer graphics are analyzed, which are made within the topic “My design of a modern sports facility”, “Housing complex of the future”, “Electric car 2030”. The authors use computer programs for graphic works of students: these are drawing programs such as raster (drawing an image by points) and vector (drawing an entire line), as well as AutoCAD, Adobe Illustrator and CorelDRAW. In the conclusions, the authors note that the next stage of the study will deal with formative stage of experimental work with students, where a technological complex will be presented that will help increase the level of artistic and creative abilities of students.
