It is emphasized that the issue of aesthetic education of primary schoolchildren is very important in the current conditions of social development, when social contradictions are aggravated, national values and ideals are in the process of disappearing, and immoral behavior is widespread among young people. It is outlined that aesthetic education is aimed at attracting primary schoolchildren to the treasures of spiritual and artistic culture, to the world of moral values through the formation of aesthetic concepts, tastes, ideals. It develops the creative abilities of the individual and is closely connected with the cultural life of the society. It was determined that the Hlukhiv Music (Singing) School, Kharkiv Singing School, the Kamianets-Podilskyi art boarding school for rural children in the 19th century was directly involved in the aesthetic education of children. The significant contribution to the development of the theory and practice of aesthetic education of the Kyiv Regional Pedagogical Society «Prosvita» and teachers’ congresses is established. It is emphasized that at the beginning of the 20th century, the aesthetic education of primary schoolchildren was realized both within specially created out-of-school artistic and aesthetic education institutions (children’s clubs, children’s playgrounds, children’s theaters, libraries, art education centers, art studios, pioneer palaces etc.), and in institutions of social upbringing of children (orphanages, children’s villages, communities, colonies for orphans, semi-boarding schools, day centers, summer colonies).
