Abstract:

The authors, considering that drawing is a fundamental and universal tool in the training of  future artists, emphasize the importance of combining traditions, applying classical methods and techniques for depicting three-dimensional space on a two-dimensional plane, and incorporating innovations in teaching academic drawing.

The article justifies the effectiveness of using problem-based learning in mastering academic drawing, taking into account the laws of the relationship between creativity and the principle of the unity and struggle of opposites, as well as the psychological law of thinking, which defines the content and form of human cognitive activity.

In accordance with compositional, structural, form-creating, tonal, and light-tonal problems that need to be addressed in academic drawing, problem-based tasks are proposed.

In the problem-based tasks developed by the researchers, there is a certain contradiction – the drawing skills previously acquired by future specialists are not fully utilized. To solve these problembased tasks, students must activate their previously acquired knowledge or gain new knowledge through reasoning and reflection, realizing the necessity of certain actions. The authors emphasize that a distinctive feature of problem-based learning in academic drawing, as pointed out by instructors, is that the problems and tasks they create stimulate students to acquire theoretical knowledge about drawing, realizing that simply recording objects seen through vision is insufficient, and that academic drawing combines theory and practice.

The conclusions drawn are valid in suggesting that the use of problem-based learning in academic drawing promotes a more conscious approach to solving compositional, structural, formcreating, tonal, and light-tonal problems of creating images of spatial forms on a plane, which serves as the basis for transforming perceptions of the surrounding environment into an artistic image. The researchers foresee the further development of a system of problem-based tasks for comprehensive implementation in professional art education.

Keywords: drawing, academic drawing, problem-based learning, problem-based task, problem situation, future visual arts professionals.
