ABOUT ART TEACHER EDUCATION IN RUSSIA AND CHINA

Abstract

The article explores the potential for enhancing the level of art education in China and Russia within the integrating Russia’s unique system of art education, rooted in rich cultural traditions, with China’s advanced digital technologies. To examine pathways for the synergistic development of art education in both countries, a three-dimensional interactive model of “technological integration – cultural transmission – educational innovation” is constructed. Research findings indicate that Russian art education, grounded in centuries-old traditions of realistic representation, combines academic training with modern technologies such as VR/AR and other digital tools. Chinese art education integrates traditional copying techniques with foundational composition principles and theoretical analysis while actively adopting cutting-edge artificial intelligence technologies. An analysis of exemplary cases of Sino-Russian integration reveals innovative practices in areas such as digital twins and virtual museums. The article examines integration models, including the establishment of intelligent art laboratories with cultural symbol databases, which enhance the versatility of training future art educators who combine professional literacy with creative autonomy. The study substantiates practical approaches to integrating the distinctive art education systems of China and Russia.
