ACTIVATION OF COMPOSITIONAL ACTIVITY IN THE PROCESS OF TEACHING PAINTING TO STUDENTS OF AN ART COLLEGE

Abstract

The article is devoted to the important problem of activating compositional activity in the process of teaching painting to students of an art college, which is expressed in the fact that due to the dominance of clip thinking of modern young people, problems arise with concentrating on the sequence of conducting a long pictorial image, as well as in the lack of interest in performing the search stage of compositional activity, which seems useless to students. The work particularly notes that the process of forming a concept in students is extremely difficult, since it requires active search work associated not only with the compositional placement of elements on a plane, the search for the most expressive angle or point of view on a natural setting, but also with solving the problems of harmonizing all the components of a pictorial image, such as tone, color, line, form, space, which at each stage of the image require detailing and development, leading to the creation of a holistic compositional image. The article emphasizes that this occurs as a result of the fact that the young person’s presence in a modern chaotic information environment deprives him of the habit of concentrating on some serious tasks that extends over time and requires intellectual and emotional effort. This article examines the systematic compositional errors and difficulties that arise in students’ paintings under the influence of clip-based thinking. Overcoming these inherent difficulties requires rethinking painting teaching methods in a modern art college. The authors note that the key task here is to harness the unique thinking of modern young people and adapt it to traditional tools for developing an initial compositional concept and constructing a harmonious compositional image in a painting. The authors propose exercises that move composition from the category of formal intuitive work to the realm of conscious professional skill, allowing students to use the features of clip thinking as a resource, and not as a limitation of their creative initiative. The authors of the article come to the conclusion that only conscious management of students’ attention and thought processes, their step-by-step training in the application of the laws of composition in painting, as well as reflection in the process of searching compositional activity, allow the transformation of clip-based thinking into systemic artistic thinking, necessary for the creation of an expressive and professional pictorial composition.
