The relevance of the study lies in the fact that the existing system of training designers in drawing does not provide high-quality training of students, the readiness of graduates for creative project activities suffers from this. The purpose of the article: to present a designed system of teaching academic drawing in design education, which allows us to provide modern professional training of designers in drawing. The methodology of the study is a systematic approach that makes it possible to see the pedagogical system in the process of teaching drawing and identify its main properties and characteristics. The research methods are the analysis of methodological works on the training of designers in drawing, pedagogical modeling and pedagogical experiment. As a result of the research, a model of the system of teaching drawing in design education has been developed, which allows us to increase the effectiveness of teaching. The model reveals its composition, structure and functional orientation. A program for managing the drawing teaching system has been compiled. The program assumes the transition of the system to the development mode under certain specified conditions. A set of special tasks has been compiled, which helps students effectively master the methodological principles of working on the drawing by creating an effective system of their repetition, and tasks providing for the future project work of graduates. The conditions that should be taken into account when implementing the designed model of the system of teaching drawing are identified. These conditions are primarily related to the managerial impact on the existing system in the process of its transition to the developed one. The results of the study are ready for use in the educational process in the preparation of designers, they are applicable when planning the work of drawing departments to rationalize the goals, objectives and structure of scientific and methodological work.

The relevance of the study is due to the need to update the training methods for designers in drawing with the aim of their readiness for project activities. Design learners should not only be able to draw from life, but also be ready to make drawings that express design ideas. To do this, you need to be able to transform images, putting a design intent into the drawings. If no special work is carried out in this direction, then even good drawings cannot be used in the project and the student will not be ready to express the design intent by graphic means. The purpose of the article is to propose a worked out set of tasks, which provides for the development of skills to make drawings and transform them in the direction of designing an object. The following methods were applied: observation of the process of making drawings, analysis of drawings and a pedagogical experiment. The tasks have been worked out, in which, in addition to academic tasks, a complex of special tasks should be solved, taking into account project activities. The essence of the tasks is to transform the image object by association with the shape and content of the object, endowing the object with certain qualities, giving the image of the object a figurative interpretation and various spatial characteristics, as well as using the resulting image in any object of design. It was revealed that the worked out tasks contribute to the development of skills in expressing design ideas by graphic means. Tasks, in which the student must apply his/her drawing in any object of the designer's professional activity, imparts a conscious and purposeful character to the student's actions. The examples of students' drawings made in the course of the pedagogical experiment demonstrating the meaning of the tasks are given. As a result of testing the worked out tasks in the experimental group, we recorded an increase in the number of students who showed a high level of readiness to use a drawing in the professional activity of a designer. The experience of working with students has shown that the fulfillment of tasks for transforming the image of an object expands the range of created artistic images and their use in design. The worked out set of tasks is approved for use in the process of teaching drawing to designers. It is intended for teachers of drawing and those educational institutions that carry out artistic and functional training of students.

In conditions of «idea crisis» in the Russian light industry, a designer must have competence to find new design solutions, new ideas, to use the whole spectrum of knowledge about world culture, sociology and ethnography; must be able to communicate with customers. The ability to make design sketches with a good quality contributes to activation of creative thinking, synthesis of humanitarian knowledge and improvement of communication with the customers. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the artistic and graphic education of students during preparation of light industry products designers. Despite the great number of studies related to the specialized drawing for industrial designers and architects, insufficient attention has been paid to sketch graphics preparation of light industry products designers due to the engineering orientation of their activities. Meanwhile, the work of designers in modern conditions is directly related to the creation of a visual image for the consumer, which should be preceded by a search using expressive means of graphics. The purpose of the research: to identify main problems of artistic and graphic preparation of students in the field of «Designing light industry products» and to find effective ways to improve the quality of students’ training. The main research methods are: analysis of students' work, conversation, interview, questionnaire and pedagogical experiment. The main results: the authors determined specificity of artistic and graphic activity in the field of designing light industry products, the criteria for evaluating the creative sketch of clothing, identified main problems of artistic preparation of students in the field of «Designing light industry products». They also worked out the tasks, contributing to the improvement of technical skills and creative abilities of students. The efficiency of these tasks was tested. Theoretical significance of the article is in justifying the need for artistic and graphic preparation of designers in order to increase competitiveness of the domestic light industry, to identify the main direction of artistic and graphic preparation of designers. The practical importance of the study is in developing criteria for evaluation of clothing creative sketch, as well as in offering methodically sound tasks, the effectiveness of which has been tested during pedagogical experiment.

In this article we are talking about the need to save in the artistic education of national traditions, which is related to the cultural space of our state. The article deals with the formation and development of academic drawing system of teaching in higher education, from its inception to the present, marked its features in different historical periods. It proposed a series of measures that will stabilize the situation in the field of arts education and create conditions for its preservation and development.

The paper discusses the features of creation of artistic graphical image and describes the algorithm of actions, which is essential for the successful mastering the basics of creating an artistic image on the drawinng.
