Abstract:
На прикладі авторської методики викладання пленерного живопису розглянуто принципи композиції пейзажу як фактора ефективного
розвитку художньо-образного мислення студентів.
Based on the author`s own teaching methodology of Plein Air
Painting, the article discusses principles of composition in landscape painting as
a tool for efficient development of imaginative thinking of students.
The importance of this study is that it promotes finding tools to startle students out
of their apathy and activate both their creative abilities and imaginative thinking.
As a vocational subject, Composition activates visual perception, memory,
abilities to imagination and the ones to emphatic search for and development
of brand new artistic forms, and, if so, has been a powerful tool to develop the
abilities to imaginative thinking.
Together with the rest of the curricula as offered at the Academy`s School of
Graphic Arts, the training course of painting – and, specifically, Landscape – is
intended to promote creative growth of the artists, large-minded in civic, cultural,
and creative respects, with advanced taste, conscientious attitude to art and
being deeply aware of the art`s role in social life, and willing to promote both the
fundamental knowledge of arts and a high aesthetic culture. The basic principle
of plein air exercises has been application of personalized approach, which
implies that the major format for interaction between a student`s personality with
social environment has been study from nature. When working, students gain
skills for individual perception of both nature and architectural subjects exposed
to different kinds of lighting and within different seasons.
Through some specific kinds of compositional and thematic planning, creation of training studies en plein air becomes a process that combines artistic training with
education and upbringing within the areas of artistic and pedagogical training as
follows: development of imaginative perception of reality; formulation of abilities
to both emphatic processing, creative interpretation of the results gained
through emotional perceptions, observations and experience; enhancement of
skills for embodiment of results of creative work by means of drawing, painting,
and composition.
This is why the artistic training process has been intended to making of impact
on the complex of personal artistic perceptions with the complex (system) of the
elements found within the plein air environment.
The goal of this publication has been a discussion of landscape composition
principles as a tool to ensure efficient development of imaginative thinking of
students, based on the instruction leverage as used by the author in his own
training methodology.
