Conditions for the Development of the Imagination of Students Over the Age of 18 in Teaching Fine Arts

Relevance. The relevance of the study is explained by the need to explore the personal approach and computer educational technologies for the development of imagination in students over 18 years of age who do not have experience working with pictorial materials. The work is based on classical methods of teaching fine arts combined with modern digital technologies. The article describes the main conditions and methods that develop the imagination of students over 18 years of age in fine arts in institutions of additional education.

Aim. To develop a curriculum that includes elements of interactive cooperation with students, the use of digital technologies (neural networks) to develop spatial thinking and coloristic and compositional imagination of students.

Methodology. Analysis of scientific literature, conducting classes on the subject «Painting» with students over 18 years old, analysis of their educational and creative activities in the classroom, monitoring the development of the group’s creative skills are the methods for the research into the ways to develop the imagination of students.

Scientific novelty/theoretical and/or practical significance. The theoretical and practical significance of the study is its contribution to the process of teaching art disciplines, the possibility of using the methods of developing imagination in the methodology of teaching painting, and improving the fine arts teaching programs for students of different ages. Based on the tested results, it is planned to write methodological manuals on fine arts. The students who completed the course in the discipline «Painting» with the use of digital educational technologies developed exhibition and competitive activities, increased interest in world artistic culture and art, and developed desire to improve their skills. The features of the influence of digital technologies on the development of imagination for the implementation of creative ideas are shown.

Research results. A program with elements of digital technologies was introduced into the educational process, the skill and creative level of students increased: they successfully transferred three-dimensional objects to the plane of canvas or paper in the form of well-built coloristic and compositional solutions.

Conclusions. Digital and information technologies, as well as technical means, help to achieve good results in the modern educational process. With the introduction of technology to the process of teaching fine arts, pedagogical activity is realized with obvious advantages.
