As the interest and need for creativity grows in today's society, there is a growing body of
research aimed at understanding and unlocking people's creative potential. These concepts apply
broadly to people living in different communities, indicating the need to develop creative ideas in
the general population. To gain foundational knowledge, this study explores approaches to general
creativity and the spread of the concept of creativity in the literature of art history, pedagogy, and
psychology in these views.
The article considers methods and forms of formation of artistic and creative abilities of
junior schoolchildren by means of visual learning, the purpose of which is to teach the child to
think, create, analyse, develop ideas and search for solutions. Methods of visual teaching help to
demonstrate the simplicity of the image that the pupil creates in himself, develop imagination and
perception and thinking of the child. Lessons and electives of artistic labour at all levels of
education, starting from preschool age, are important in the system of education and upbringing.
These are classes for the development of artistic and creative abilities, which have a significant
developmental impact on the child. These classes develop the ability to understand, perceive and
feel the beauty in life and art, to strive to create beauty independently, and to appreciate the beauty
in surrounding objects. Great possibilities of innovative art-technology, which is a system of
creative games, in creating conditions for creative self-realisation of children in the development of
perception, thinking, imagination, communicative abilities, emotional sphere, in the formation of
aesthetic attitude to reality, as well as influencing regulation, are noted. The assessment is carried
out by the teacher using flexible materials and activities, playful assessment, appropriate to the
developments of interest to children of primary school age.
The period of primary school age forms the aesthetic attitude to the surrounding world and
to oneself as a part of the universe. The optimal way to develop artistic and creative abilities of
junior schoolchildren is visual means of teaching.
