CREATING AN ARTISTIC IMAGE AS THE CENTRAL TASK OF ARTISTIC AND CREATIVE ACTIVITY OF STUDENTS OF THE ACADEMIC ART SCHOOL

Abstract

. The article considers a problem of forming artistic imaginative vision and thinking as a key task of children’s art schools. Based on the analysis of the concepts of leading Russian teachers (N.N. Rostovtsev and others), it is substantiated that education at the Higher School of Economics should be focused on developing students’ ability to creatively comprehend reality, “correctly see” the world through the prism of artistic images. The central methodological principle is to work with the stain as a fundamental compositional element, which allows you to focus on the emotional and figurative content of the work, rather than the details of reproduction. Any practical activity in the classroom (drawing, painting, composition) should be aimed at “setting the eye”—the formation of a holistic artistic and imaginative worldview and thinking. By developing this fundamental skill, children’s art schools fulfill their main mission, i.e. lay the foundations for the artistic creative potential of the younger generation and educate true connoisseurs and creators of beauty.
