Abstract

The article considers the prospects for further improvement of the education system regarding the development of artistic competence of children under martial law. Priority activities necessary for the formation of children’s artistic competence are identified, which have already proved their effectiveness in Ukrainian and foreign education systems. The article also reveals the methods and techniques necessary for the formation of children’s artistic competence, which allowed development of the emotionality and observation of children, which are the basis for artistic competence. The results facilitate the identification of the basic principles of the formation of artistic competence of children and describe new opportunities for their realization under martial law. This is a necessary condition for the harmonious development of the child’s personality and determining his/her moral guidelines. Moreover, a set of recommendations to improve the effectiveness of the development of artistic competence of children under martial law is presented. The main patterns of art education in the professional activities of educators and teachers when working with children are identified. It is emphasized that the involvement of a child in artistic activities stipulates the formation of basic skills, namely the ability to show one’s own emotions, aesthetic taste, sense of rhythm, the ability to hear others, fine motor skills, and mobility. The main goal of developing the artistic competence of children is to create their own picture of the world in each particular child and cultivate critical thinking, which protects against propaganda and negative information influences that have intensified in the conditions of the Russian-Ukrainian war.
