Within the framework of modern art education, there is a problem of the formation of students' communication skills in the context of digital education, especially the educational process with the involvement of modern online technologies. With the transition to partially distance learning, it was noted that students' communication skills develop spontaneously, especially in the process of artistic and design activities. The relevance of this study is due to the need to develop a new methodology for the formation of competences of art students with the use of digital technologies in the educational process when there is no specific methodology for solving design problems in art and design activities in a remote format. Communication skills are the key ones in the profession of a designer and artist, so graduates of the Design area of training must fully develop their skill of visual communication and be able to express creative thoughts and ideas. The purpose of the article is to work out a methodology aimed at developing communication skills among "Design" majors, for the successful application of visual and informative design projects. The leading method of studying this problem was the method of comparative pedagogical analysis - an empirical analysis of the results of artistic design and research activities of design majors; development of creative tasks and pedagogical experiment using digital educational technologies. A methodology has been developed that contributes to the effective mastering of the methodological principles of work on a design project by students and develops communication skills through the organization of artistic and design activities. The basis of the study is the application of an experimental methodology for planning study time. The practical significance of the results of the study lies in the development of effective approaches to artistic and design activities when working on a presentation final project in the profile discipline "Specialization", which will increase the efficiency of the educational process in the "Design" area of training.
