The development of adolescents’ artistic perception in the children's art school settings

Abstract

The article substantiates the relevance of studying the development of adolescents’ artistic perception in the children's art school which creates opportunities for students formation as subjects of culture and artistic activity as one of the factors of such perception development. In accordance with the purpose of the study, the developed model of adolescents’ artistic perception formation in the children's art school settings is substantiated and the empirical results of its implementation in the educational process of the Department of fine arts are presented. The authors emphasize that the developed model is based on the nescessity of comprehension of the meaning of a work of art in the fine arts classroom and acceptance of a teenager in artistic activity as a creator of a new reality; the methodological basis of the model is hermeneutic and poly-artistic approaches as well as principles adequate to them (a dialogue, personalization, cultural conformity of the educational process). They determine the content and leading methods of adolescents’ artistic perception development in a children's art school setting (the method of participation in artistic action and the method of projects). Using the set of research methods described in the article, the authors present the developed model implementation results, indicating positive development of artistic perception of adolescents manifested in higher awareness of how the artistic knowledge is applied in artistic and creative activity; emotional responsiveness to the artwork; skills and abilities of the artwork compositional analysis.
