Abstract

The article examines the specifics of the methodological system of teaching fine arts in the traditional Russian school. It analyzes the historical and cultural prerequisites for the formation of art education, the psychological and pedagogical foundations of teaching, and the methodological approaches to the development of students’ artistic abilities. Based on pedagogical observation, analysis of students’ artistic works, and a practical experiment, the effectiveness of traditional methods including visual aids, copying, sketch assignments, and teacher – student dialogue is demonstrated. The findings confirm that the application of these methods contributes to the formation of artistic skills, the development of creative independence, and the enhancement of students’ motivation, while preserving the continuity of pedagogical traditions and meeting the modern requirements of education.
