Professional and creative growth of students in art classes: possibilities and the need
The article considers the need to use the potential of studying subjects from the field of „Art” for the purpose of professional and creative growth of young students. In the author’s opinion, the opportunities for this are mainly in the system of supplementary art education, and for the success of this mission, it is important to fully consider both the characteristics of the educational process in this educational sector and the individuality of young people. Following the main principles of national pedagogy, as well as the provisions on pedagogical support, the authors propose as a new approach personality-oriented pedagogical support, which guarantees the creation of an appropriate environment and conditions. All of the above mentioned, in their opinion, will contribute to the professional and creative development of students of all academic levels - from secondary vocational to higher vocational education - through music lessons and participation in competitive events.
