Abstract
Various scientific studies, interpretations, analyses, and comparisons have revealed a strong link in the origin of Kazakh mythology in contemporary Kazakh society. The main problem in this lies in the fact that existing research on mythology has always centered in fields of literature, philosophy, religion and culture, and history. Previous scholars have always overlooked the study of mythology in the field of art. It’s for this reason, that this research article centered on the mythology in the art of painting education and especially pictorial analysis of Kazakh mythology. In the article, the definition and history of Kazakh mythology are given and the studies of the researchers on mythology are mentioned. The painting educations made within the scope of the research article are inspired by the myth of "Er Tostik". The research conducted within the scope of a creative and scientific analysis shows that the works related to the formation of Kazakh mythology have an important place in the history of Kazakh painting education. Besides, important subjects of Kazakh mythology in Kazakh art history were determined and how they affected the works of the painters were examined and interpreted comparatively.

Summary
Myth is the first step of the spiritual culture of human beings (Losеv,1990). knowing Kazakh mythology well will help to deal with some still inexplicable issues in Kazakh psychology, world view, traditions, culture and literature, history, and art with a new perspective (Lusdoc & Namoco, 2019). The relationship of Kazakh mythology with fields such as literature, history, ethnography, and culture has been studied by various scientists It would not be wrong if we say that there are no scientists who examine and analyze mythology's relationship with art and painting education in detail. There are art researchers who study and study the works of Kazakh painters, but among them, there are no researchers who collect significant material or publish articles or books on the subject of "Kazakh Mythology". There were only those who gave opinions or made small analyzes on some of the works of painters on mythology.
