Aim. To highlight the results of a study devoted to optimizing the process of e-learning for correspondence students in the discipline "Artistic processing of materials" in the 9th semester of the Pedagogical University.

Methodology and methods. The research is based on the methodology of the competence approach. Among the methods of the empirical and theoretical levels, generalization, comparative analysis of curricula and learning experiences, observation, modeling and experiment were used. The experience of teaching fifth-year part-time students in art disciplines from 2016 to 2023 before and after the introduction of the "e-learning System" by the university was studied.

Results. As part of the experiment, a comparative analysis of the curricula of three different standards was carried out. As a result, a course was opened of the discipline "Artistic processing of materials" for correspondence students of the 9th semester on the electronic platform of the university, and also developed methodological guidelines describing additional instructions for teaching this discipline. The structure of the author’s electronic course used in the organization of lectures and laboratory work of students during the inter-sessional period is described, and electronic workshop cards are also prepared.

Theoretical and/or practical significance. The developed methodological guidelines for the discipline "Artistic processing of materials", based on the use of an electronic workshop in the inter-sessional period, made it possible to optimize the study of the discipline by students of the correspondence department of the university. The positive aspects of using the e-learning course at the correspondence department were identified.

Conclusions. To improve the quality of teaching artistic disciplines at the correspondence department, the use of technologies implemented through information and telecommunication networks, which are being actively developed in universities, is relevant. In this regard, the use of the author's methodological guidelines for teaching correspondence students artistic processing of materials using an electronic workshop made it possible to optimize the process of forming professional competencies in the profile "Fine Arts" at the Blagoveschensk State Pedagogical University.
