Development Of The Creative Abilities Of Students In Studying Artistic Metal Processing

Abstract

The article presents a study on the development of creative abilities of students in the process of studying artistic metal processing. We assume that it is necessary to start developing the creative abilities of students in institutions of additional education and continue until the formation of a professional career. Using two methods – conversation and involvement in play activities – we conducted a diagnosis of abilities. In the institutions of additional education, the process of developing creative abilities through visual, decorative-applied, and technical activities was analyzed. These types of activities are basic in the study of artistic metal processing. The choice of additional education institutions is substantiated and their potential is revealed in terms of the educational environment, technical equipment, and teaching staff. In extracurricular arts, students learn the basics of artistic skill: the basics of composition; the basics of colour science; the basics of drawing; and continue their training in 3D modelling, construction, laser processing of materials and openwork wire weaving. The above-mentioned fundamentals of artistic skill and the formed creative, art-related abilities contribute to further professional choice and purposeful entering and training in vocational and higher educational institutions. We studied the level of creative work of students applying for the educational program Artistic Materials Processing Technology. And also expelled students were allocated who has and does not have artistic and decorative-applied training acquired in institutions of additional education. The achievement of high-quality results of training at the university indicates systematic professional training, starting with institutions of additional education.
