Innovational Prospects of Artistic Education

Abstract

Abstract. The present article proposes examining those factors of contemporary reformation
of artistic education, – namely, the development of cluster technology of educational programs,
the comprehension of the role of processes of globalization and inclusion of the cognitivehermeneutical
methodology of teaching. The idea of elaborating cluster technology from
educational programs stems from the assertion that teaching the majority of disciplines in artistic
higher educational institutions is distinctive for its total disunity. A purposeful study of a cycle
of special objects in their close connection with the mastery of the entire circle of humanitarian
knowledge traditionally offered during the process of higher education is perceived to be much
more effective. Thereby, the object of the discourse is a multidisciplinary approach, which
demands most insistently that the cluster principle be applied in the process of education. The
perception of the role of the processes of globalization inclines us toward an overcoming of a
separable presentation of the tutorial material, and this begins with a certain dividing wall being
raised between national art and that from other countries, as the result of which the graduates
of our institutions of higher education are frequently incapable of correlating phenomena which
are unified in their chronology and inner essence, but are distant from each other territorially.
Regarding the cognitive-hermeneutic methodology of teaching in the sphere of education, it
is important to accentuate that cognitivism and hermeneutics as mechanism of cognizing
and comprehending are mutually complementary concepts which in their pair determine the
directedness on an active, conscious perception of artifacts and the aspiration to understand their
essence and meaning. At the same time, the ontological effect is self-apparent: a work of art
is evaluated as a special type of realization and generalization of human experience, while the
cognition-comprehension of art becomes a means through which the cognition-comprehension
of the world and of human beings is carried out.
