Abstract

Introduction. The teaching of the discipline «Project Design Basics» is closely connected with the artistic disciplines «Drawing», «Painting», «General Composition», as well as with the history and methodology of design in the field of costume. Purpose setting. Many years of experience have allowed us to identify the most important components of the discipline, its connection with the set of artistic disciplines and opportunities that it provides for further education. «Project Design Basics» became a kind of «bridge» connecting the artistic and design orientation of this specialty. Methodology and methods of the study. In the process of searching for the necessary approach to teaching the basics of project design for students of the specialty «Art of Costume and Textiles», an analytical method and a method of comparative analysis of tasks aimed at developing students’ practical professional skills in the field of design activities were applied. The study of design methods is becoming an important component of learning, giving students the opportunity to navigate the field of design activities themselves. Results. As a result of the application of the author’s program in practice, optimal practical tasks were identified that help and give impetus to the search for images in further project creativity. Over the course of almost a decade of experience in teaching the discipline, the developed approach has shown its effectiveness. The method of approach to solving the project task proposed to students was later used by them in the preparation of final qualifying works for the initial study of creative projects. Conclusions. The discipline is aimed at developing special skills in creating design projects, taking into account the artistic abilities and theoretical knowledge gained by students in the classroom. Practical tasks include various graphic techniques, computer graphics, collage, and applications. Its practical significance, its connection with the technological orientation of the specialty, can hardly be overestimated in the modern world.
