The article is devoted to the study of the possibility to develop second-graders’ aesthetic perception of landscape painting at the lessons of the surrounding world. The research task was to study pedagogical conditions for the development of second-graders’ aesthetic perception of landscape painting at the lessons of the surrounding world. The purpose of our study is to identify the pedagogical conditions for the development of second-graders’ aesthetic perception of landscape painting at the lessons of the surrounding world. Landscape painting allows us to expand and deepen the knowledge of children, as well as to teach them perceive and appreciate the beauty of the surrounding objects of nature. The article describes the process of developing aesthetic perception of landscape painting in second-graders at the lessons of the surrounding world, as well as an experimental study concerning this topic.

Plein-air classes are an integral part of teaching children fine arts. Familiarity with the history of landscape painting and the alternation of various types of educational tasks in the open air activates the perception of nature, allows for a more diverse and deeper study of it, as well as to organize cognitive and visual activities of children.

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.
