Synthesis of Arts as a Method of Artistic Perception Development: A Practical Aspect

Abstract

The aim of the research is to substantiate that the synthesis of art forms enriches and deepens the cognitive, educational and developmental possibilities of art in the process of studying works of art. The paper identifies the specific characteristics of music lessons and the role of perception as a psychological aspect in the artistic and formative process; presents the fundamental aspects in the organisation of perception of works of art in music lessons; considers individual methods that satisfy the needs for emotional contact and fantasising, interest and the novelty effect, which leads to the mobilisation of creative efforts in music lessons. The scientific novelty of the research lies in proving that the artistic and formative process is based on the synthesis of the notions of “an emotion-idea” / “an idea-emotion”. As a result of the research, the poly-artistic methods of perception of works of various art forms have been developed and put into practice: voicing works of painting, sculpture, architecture on the basis of a common emotion-idea; combining works of different art forms on the basis of stylistic similarities; comprehending the depth of understanding an artistic image.
