Abstract

The article reveals the educational and creative potential of folk arts and crafts as an effective means of fostering artistic culture and aesthetic education of the younger generation. It is noted that within the educational process, as a result of expanding possibilities for self-determination in choosing forms, types and genres of visual art activities, students consider various areas of folk art. At the same time, mastering of folk decorative art at the fine arts lessons takes place mainly in the context of the formation of the cognitive interests of schoolchildren. Moreover, the significance of the orientation of pedagogical thought on a comprehensive analysis of solutions to the issue of integrating the practical mastering of folk arts and crafts in the fine arts lessons with the traditions of masters of the past is revealed. With the development of the applied language of fine arts, its rich cultural, pedagogical and artistic potential, enclosed in the traditions of the masters of the past, is relegated to the background. Therefore, despite the recognition of the educational and developmental possibilities of folk arts and crafts in art and aesthetic education and upbringing of schoolchildren, there is still no clear, well-established understanding of the optimal forms of its implementation in art education.
