INTEGRATED TEACHING OF PHOTOGRAPHY AND PAINTING IN ART EDUCATION

Photography and painting are important ways of creative self-expression in the modern educational environment, which contribute to self-knowledge, the formation of artistic sensitivity and the development of creativity of students of secondary vocational educational institutions. This model of integrated learning not only develops their creative abilities, but also promotes differentiated thinking, the use of modern technologies and a deep understanding of aesthetic values. In this case, photography is used as a means of artistic expression, and art education is used as a tool to emphasize the aesthetic values of photographic works. This approach encourages students to develop both technical skills (photography techniques, shooting techniques) and painting (composition, expressiveness of colors and light). Thus, combined photography and painting is an effective way to develop students' creative abilities and artistic worldview, which develops not only technical skills, but also helps students express their thoughts, feelings and ideas in unique artistic ways, contributing to their intellectual and aesthetic development.
