Pedagogical aspects of awareness formation of visual art language (Atena Editora)

Abstract

The education topicalities determine the need for comprehensively educated people who are able to work within a wide range of activities, accepting new spheres through learning and development (Fadels, Bialika, Trilings, 2017). Art pedagogy is interdisciplinary, and it fully reveals the mutual integration tendency of various disciplines, which is characteristic to contemporary education in general (Cohen, 2020). Raising awareness about the artists' creative pursuits, application of various materials and techniques in the process of artistic activity – these are the issues that have always been in the centre of attention of art educators. The research object: artistic activity. The research subject: awareness formation of artistic activity. The research methodology is developed referring to the topicalities of current transformations in education, the findings of scientists, the opinion of professional artists about the artwork creation process, and research studies on the practice of art pedagogy from the perspective of emerging teachers. Considering the above mentioned, the following research question has been put forward: What pedagogical aspects can be influenced by drawing students' attention to the issues of comprehending the visual art language. In turn, the inclusion of artworks in the pedagogical process facilitates the transition from monologue to collaboration helping students to understand the diverse perspectives of human existence. Works of art give the teacher the opportunity to present the events that happened in the past and develop an understanding of personalities and a particular era. The obtained research results can become a basis for further research.
