The Chinese tradition of decorative and applied creativity in the genre of «Gohua» and the method of mental maps as a way of acquaintance and semanticization of foreign tradition in the educational process of teacher training in decorative and applied creativity

Abstract

The article is part of a research program that attempts to integrate the art of calligraphy into educational programs on decorative and applied creativity in a multicultural aspect. The article also suggests a method of mental maps that makes it easier for students to become familiar with special terms from Chinese decorative and applied arts. Working exclusively in a lecture format with a transition to practical tasks often causes rejection among modern teenagers. Obviously, any historical review of Chinese painting can and should be presented in digital format, allowing students to independently transform the presented material into digital stories. The article contains both methodological recommendations on the organization of the educational process, as well as historical and art criticism comments.
