METHODOLOGICAL FOUNDATIONS OF ORGANIZING THE “ARTISTIC” EDUCATIONAL PRACTICE IN THE SYSTEM OF TRAINING ART EDUCATION TEACHERS

Abstract

The article reveals the methodological foundations for organizing the “Artistic” educational practice within the system of training art education teachers in the context of modern competency-based education. The relevance of the study is determined by the need to align the content and forms of educational practice with sectoral learning outcomes aimed at developing the artistic and pedagogical competencies of future art teachers. The focus is placed on integrating competency-based, activity-oriented, personality-centered, and reflective approaches as the methodological basis for organizing artistic practice. The study substantiates a stage-by-stage structure of the “Artistic” educational practice that ensures students’ gradual development from forming the foundations of artistic and visual thinking to activating creative independence, artistic communication, and pedagogical skills. Methodological tools for developing artistic thinking, observation skills, and the ability to analyze artistic images are defined through academic exercises, sketch studies, thematic compositions, and artistic mini-projects. The significance of the activity-based approach in developing students’ ability to independently solve artistic tasks, present creative outcomes, and collaborate in groups is highlighted. Special attention is given to the facilitative role of the teacher, who acts as an organizer of creative dialogue, supports artistic communication, and creates conditions for reflective understanding of artistic experience. The importance of emotional and aesthetic development, the formation of an individual artistic style, and the aesthetic worldview of the future art educator is emphasized. It is proved that the “Artistic” educational practice serves as an effective means of integrating artistic and pedagogical training and forms the basis for students’ professional readiness to organize a contemporary art education process.
