Abstract
The article is devoted to the artistic creativity of the hearing impaired. It analyzes paintings and
drawings created by deaf art students and compares these works with those of hearing students.
As any art is synesthetic, that is, it has certain intersensory connections, we can say that
music is the closest to painting because of its various synesthetic connections reflecting colour
relations, rhythm and composition. Here, the concepts of harmony, interval, tone, tonality,
which are based on a system of relations, are very close. Since the deaf are deprived of the
ability to fully perceive musical harmonies, the analysis of their pictorial works is of particular
importance for understanding their worldview and artistic language.
In the creative process, there is a close relationship between perception of various aspects
of life and artistic expression. In this context, it is interesting to study the colour work of deaf
artists, whose life perception is physically limited, especially in the musical field.
The article also considers the features of using rhythm and space in the artworks of hearing
impaired art students. Based on this analysis, it is concluded that the sense of rhythm does not
actually differ between hearing and non-hearing people. The sense of artistic space is weaker
in the deaf than in the hearing. Narrative compositions created by the hearing impaired have
no significant features.
