INNOVATIVE APPROACHES TO TRAINING FINE ARTS SPECIALISTS IN DIGITAL ART

Abstract

This article thoroughly examines the significance of digital technologies in contemporary art education and their influence on the educational process. New opportunities created by digital art in education are analyzed; innovative approaches used in the training of creative professionals are systematically examined; and the practice of applying interactive methods and modern digital tools integrated into the process of art education is discussed. Specialists in the field of art education will also be provided with methodological foundations for developing interdisciplinary connections in accordance with the content of digital art. A comprehensive analysis of scientific data has been conducted, examining the pedagogical conditions for the effective integration of digital technologies into the educational process, as well as the methods of their application in the professional training of future art teachers.

Accordingly, an in-depth analysis was conducted on the application of modern teaching methods that utilize digital tools to enhance students’ creative potential and develop their professional skills within the context of mastering contemporary trends in art. In addition, works by contemporary artists created using virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR), artificial intelligence (AI), and digital painting technologies are presented. The relevance of this article is grounded in the use of interactive teaching methods, modern digital platforms, and the emerging prospects of digital art. In the empirical analysis of innovative digital art approaches in training visual arts specialists, a diagnostic questionnaire based on Harrison Gough’s Creative Personality Scale was administered to identify the respondents' creative abilities and personal qualities. The results are visualized in the form of diagrams. The results indicated that students successfully integrate digital art into their activities. Concurrently, potential was identified for the further deepening of knowledge and professional growth, both in the field of visual arts and in working with modern technologies.
