Abstract

The article deals the problems of professional artistic training of design students in the process of teaching composition. The composition studies the laws of the creation of an artistic form and the means of artistic expression, organization of image perception. Compositional activity has an artistic and plastic character; it relies on the use of the language of art and consists in creating a new, holistic, original artistic image. The authors identify compositional thinking as one of the most important professional qualities of an artist and designer and reveal the methodology of its formation among students. The process of teaching composition – creating a painting, drawing, sculpture or design object – cannot be built as a simple linear process of learning image methods, compositional rules and techniques. The author's methodology is based on the method of problem tasks, which involves the formulation of an educational and creative task, the creation of a problem situation; comprehension, acceptance and resolution of the problem, during which students master generalized methods of artistic and creative activity. At the same time, the creative process is considered as a series of successive stages associated with the work of productive or creative imagination, and requiring the provision of visual or other information in the process of work. The article presents the results of the ascertaining and formative stages of experimental work on the development of compositional thinking of art students in the process of mastering expressive means, such as line, spot, texture, color, as well as compositional techniques and rules (static, dynamics, dominant, rhythm, etc.). The authors have developed a series of creative exercises, described the methodology of their implementation and the criteria are proposed to determine the level of development of students' compositional thinking based on the evaluation of their creative works.
