Transformation of approaches to methods of teaching general art disciplines to design students

in the context of digitalization of design activities, the preservation of fundamental artistic training of students is due to the need to develop their professional visual literacy. Modern research proves that cognitive abilities developed through traditional artistic practices - spatial thinking, a sense of harmony and semiotic perception of visual codes - remain a unique competence of a professional person, and the synthesis of classical artistic techniques with current design technologies forms a holistic understanding of the design process in design students, from the conceptual design to its materialization in various media. Of particular importance is the formation of creative abilities in design students, since they act as a key differentiating factor in the context of mass digitalization of design processes, allowing future specialists not only to adapt to rapidly changing technological realities, but also to develop original visual and semantic solutions. The aim of this study is a systematic analysis of approaches to methods of teaching general art disciplines to design students. To achieve this goal, the following tasks were put forward: analysis of current requirements for training students - future designers, taking into account the transformation processes in the system of higher professional education; development of professional and pedagogical tools as a set of specialized methods adapted for teaching general art disciplines to design students and current approaches to their professional training. Possibilities for the practical application of the research results are seen in the development of an integrated methodological system for teaching general art disciplines, adapted to the modern requirements of design education, which can be introduced into the curricula of higher and secondary specialized educational institutions to optimize the process of forming professional competencies in future designers.
