PROBLEMS OF STUDENTS' ANATOMICAL DRAWING AND POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS AT NAFAA

Abstract

The article analyzes contemporary challenges in teaching plastic anatomy at NAFAA and the difficulties students face in mastering anatomical drawing. It proposes methods to address these problems and enhance interest in traditional academic disciplines. The study focuses on changes in teaching methods, incorporating new media technologies, and broader transformations in academic education. Research Methods. The study employs the empirical method of visual analysis, as well as historical and comparative theoretical methods. These were applied to the accumulated collection of student drawings maintained by the department, some of which were displayed at an exhibition in 2024. Through analysis and synthesis, conclusions were drawn regarding specific difficulties students face when mastering anatomical drawing. Results. Key recurring problems identified among students working on anatomical drawing include insufficient experience drawing from life, fragmented thinking, proportional errors, and a declining interest in tonal rendering. Conclusions. Proposed solutions include updating the learning environment and utilizing modern technologies. The most promising approach appears to be the adaptation of plastic anatomy tasks to students' specializations (painting, graphic arts, design, sculpture, etc.), addressing their specific needs. The findings can be used to update textbooks and curricula.
