Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: In this article, the author examines in detail the ways to solve the problem associated with traditional methods of teaching academic drawing in higher education. The study is aimed at the urgent task of improving the methodology of teaching drawing in the context of a dynamically developing information space. The main goal of the study is to identify the most effective methods of teaching drawing. To achieve this goal, the task is to analyze existing methods and develop methodological recommendations based on a scientific approach, and not on the subjective experience of the teacher. The article analyzes Soviet methods of teaching fine arts, and also considers ways to adapt them to the modern information space and cognitive characteristics of modern students. It is emphasized that modern theories of visual perception, closely related to cognitive processes, play an important role in artistic activity. The basis for this study is a generalization of the experience of teaching academic drawing in higher education institutions. The methodological basis of the study is an in-depth analysis of materials and scientific papers devoted to the teaching of academic drawing in higher education, with special attention to the experience accumulated in the design department. This analysis includes a critical assessment of existing approaches and the identification of the most effective practices. The novelty of the study lies in the adaptation of time-tested Soviet methods of teaching fine arts to the conditions of the modern information space and taking into account the cognitive characteristics of modern students. This implies not just a mechanical transfer of old methods, but their rethinking and modification to achieve maximum efficiency in new realities.
