Theoretical approaches to the study of the problem of integration of realistic and decorative art in fine art lessons

the article reveals the problems of integrating folk decorative and applied art in unity with the practice of teaching realistic drawing in art classes at school. The importance of introducing the younger generation to the history and traditions of their people, and the purposeful development by schoolchildren of folk decorative and applied art based on the traditions of realistic drawing is noted. The authors of the article reflect on the importance of the unity of the nature of the origin of realistic images and decorative art in matters of artistic and aesthetic development of students. The scientific novelty of the study is to identify the potential of folk decorative art and realistic drawing in the educational content of the subject «Fine Arts», which combine into a single didactic goal of artistic and aesthetic education of schoolchildren. As a result, it is proved that in the process of plastic-figurative processing of objects of the surrounding reality in drawing lessons from nature and from memory, based on further study of image forms based on the material of folk applied art in decorative drawing classes, students develop artistic experience and a conscious emotional and value attitude towards the national artistic heritage; Thus, it is determined, that artistic and aesthetic education in art lessons should equally include folk decorative art and realistic art as the most important parts of a unified educational process that ensures the harmonious development of the student's personality.
