THE CURRENT STATE AND ANALYSIS OF TEACHING LANDSCAPE COMPOSITION DRAWING IN VISUAL ARTS LESSONS IN GENERAL SECONDARY SCHOOLS

Abstract

This article analyzes the current state of teaching landscape composition drawing to students in grades 5–7 of general secondary schools. During the research, the methodological foundations of visual arts education, international experience, and the content of the national curriculum implemented in the Republic of Uzbekistan were examined. A comparative analysis was conducted of the organization of visual arts education in schools in the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, and Finland. The results of the study indicate that the effectiveness of teaching landscape composition largely depends on the number of instructional hours, the methodological competence of teachers, and the level of integration of modern pedagogical technologies. The article also provides methodological recommendations aimed at developing students’ artistic and creative abilities through project-based learning, plein air activities, integrated instruction, and the use of information and communication technologies in visual arts lessons.
