Abstract
The peculiarities of the iconological method are considered in this article in connection with the topical issues of teaching art history at children's art school. It is impossible to adequately understand painting and graphics of the Middle Ages, Renaissance and the 17th century without iconological interpretations, however, from the point of view of pedagogy difficulties arise associated with the complexity of semantic interpretation, many aspects of which are extremely difficult to be explained to schoolchildren. Competent and dosed application of iconological techniques will enrich students' perception of art works, expand their cultural horizons, and update existing knowledge and skills. The author formulates a comprehensive view on the specificity of iconology, examines the methodological foundations of various interpretations of works of classical Western European art and offers some recommendations regarding the use of iconology in teaching art history at initial stage of art education.
