The article analyzes two approaches to teaching composition in institutions of additional education. In the first approach, composition is introduced into the curriculum, in the second it is assumed that the basics of composition are studied through the study of other topics. The author compares both approaches, examines the pros and cons of each of them.

Landscape painting teaching takes place in an open-air environment, and this element of art pedagogy has become mandatory for most professional and continuing education programs. For this reason, research in the field of landscape painting techniques is relevant in modern conditions, despite the established traditional methods of holding plein-air events. Traditional methods have become classics of academic art education, but they were guided by the specifics of the last century education. The need to update classical methods is associated with changes in society, which have greatly influenced the characteristics of the younger generation. At the same time, we consider the substantive part of classical approaches to be valuable for artistic pedagogy, and the use of innovative technologies is a bridge that can connect a modern student with the techniques developed in plein-air painting. The aim of the research was to work out a methodology for teaching landscape painting, which takes into account traditional methods of teaching landscape painting and modern trends in education, fine arts and information technology. The analysis of landscape painting techniques allowed us to identify the substantial systematics of traditional vocational training. The proposed methodology provides a selection of combinations of various innovative techniques, methods and technologies within the framework of the implementation of the traditional classical program on plein-air painting. The innovative elements presented in the study make it possible to achieve better results without losing the value of traditional approaches. The evaluation system of the research results makes it possible to reflect the creative and executive functioning skills of students. Variations of combining innovative elements with classical methods effectively support the creative activity of students and stimulate their interest in creativity. The theoretical significance of the study consists in actualizing the issues of stimulating educational and cognitive activity and maintaining the creative activity of students in the process of teaching fine arts. Based on the results of the experimental work, the practical significance of the research has been confirmed, the results of which (the methodology of landscape painting, individual elements of the methodology, the system for evaluating educational results) can be applied in additional education (general development and pre-professional programs) and at the level of vocational education.

The relevance of the study is due to the need to improve the quality of teaching students how to draw a human head. The article discusses the methodology of teaching students how to draw a human head and emphasizes its importance in the professional training of students in the field of fine arts. The main goal of the article is to present a methodological approach and a set of exercises aimed at effectively mastering the technique of drawing a human head. The following methods were used: analysis of scientific literature on the topic of the study, analysis of students' drawings, and a pedagogical experiment. The article analyzes how the development of observation skills, analytical thinking, and constructive perception of complex forms contributes to the development of professional competences in students when creating portrait images. The article presents the results of testing a set of tasks in the form of sketches aimed at developing the skills of life drawing of a head. The tasks are designed to form and develop a set of necessary skills and abilities. This set is divided into separate components, allowing for targeted training. During the execution of the sketches, each component is worked on sequentially, and then integrated into a single drawing. The exercises cover all the content aspects necessary for drawing a head, from composition and perspective to achieving expressiveness, character, and individual features of the subject. The study demonstrates that these tasks help to consolidate theoretical knowledge and develop stable practical skills in this area. The research concludes that the implementation of the developed system of tasks in drawing a human head ensures high-quality drawing from life. The study contributes to the development of teaching methods for drawing a head by introducing a new approach and a set of tasks that expand the theoretical basis of art education. The practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of applying the proposed methodological approach to developing students' skills in drawing a human head. The results of the study can help art teachers improve the quality of students' education and enhance their knowledge of portrait images.
