Creativity in Art Education as Environment for Realisation of Professional and Creative Potential of the Individual

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to consider the issue of creativity in modern art education, which forms a holistic environment within which the realisation of the professional and creative potential of the individual becomes possible. The research methodology is based on systemic and value-based approaches, as well as on the application of analytical, synthetic, and cultural methods, which will allow a comprehensive consideration of the above issues and obtaining relevant research results. The scientific novelty lies in the theoretical understanding of issues of formation and development of creativity and creative environment of artistic educational institutions, which contributes to the realisation of the creative potential of the individual and the acquisition of professional competences. Conclusions. The study has revealed an increase in the role of the creativity component in the formation of a holistic space of art education, as well as the transformation of the paradigm in the field of education based on the general principles of humanisation and culturalisation, based on a comprehensive understanding of human existence in the world, their relationship with the environment and the value dimensions of personal development. It is proven that the development of the creative potential of the individual is carried out under the influence of a creative environment, which, in turn, becomes both a condition and a result of the activity of a creative individual. The basis of creativity is the inner potential of the individual, their professional self-realisation and the ability to generate new knowledge, which is largely formed in the environment of art education. Accordingly, art education institutions have the potential to form and/or transform into creative hubs for learning and creating an open creative environment in the process of creative activity, where an innovative product is created and space becomes creative.
