The importance of the analysis of works of art for the evaluation of visual expression of comprehensive school students

The possibilities of developing visual expression of teenagers by analysing the works of modern art are being discussed in the work. Taking into account sufficiently great experience of schoolchildren and the display of their abstract thinking in senior forms the ability of aesthetic apprehension and estimation are being more fostered, the art expression remains fundamental though. In the theoretical part while pedagogical psychological art development and the literature of art study is being analysed, it becomes clear that teenagers’ visual expression differs from the one of young children’s. It is disclosed the teenagers’ specularity of imagination and evaluation of their creative activity as well as psychological and pedagogical peculiarities of evaluation of teenagers the ways of analysis of the work of art and the importance for the visual expression of the students. The formation of the personality is typical for the transition period for teenagers. The personality’s contact with the world is strict enough and uneven. A teenager begins critically estimate his or her drawings. Just then crisis overtakes his or her creative activity. Coping with the visual means of expression with the help of the samples of modern art helps painless get over this period, as the teenager is not forced to depict something concretely. It helps him or her to understand the possibility to speak in lines, patches, colours and in composition. The second part of the work presents the results of the empiric investigation. Carried out investigations corroborate the indication of crisis of the students’ visual expression. Their creative works lack of originality and expressiveness. The students also lack of mastering skills of plastic and composition means of expression. The results of the pedagogical experiment showed positive influence of analysis of the creative work of art on the development of the visual expression of the students. Some part of the student’s works obtained more qualitative traits, that is, the plastic and compositional means of expression are used more often. There are more original creative works.Švietimo akademijaVytauto Didžiojo universiteta
