ОЗНАЙОМЛЕННЯ З ТКАНИМ КРОЛЕВЕЦЬКИМ РУШНИКОМ НА УРОКАХ ОБРАЗОТВОРЧОГО МИСТЕЦТВА.

This article underscores the unique characteristics of Krolevets woven towels, a cultural treasure long crafted in the artistic weaving centers of Krolevets in the Sumy Region. It details how these distinct features can be introduced to modern 7th-grade students in art lessons, particularly through the hands-on experience of creating a sketch of a Krolevets woven towel fragment. The article explores the possibilities of using information about artistic weaving in art lessons, offering suggested directions for introducing primary, middle, and high school students to Krolevets woven towels. It provides examples of practical tasks for different age groups, adapted from personal teaching experience in the integrated course "Art" during art lessons. The article concludes that by studying the features, structure, and symbols of the Krolevets towel and using this knowledge in their own artistic and practical activities, students connect with the history, traditions, culture, and decorative and applied arts of Ukraine. They understand the uniqueness of folk crafts from various regions and their value to modern society. Student feedback can be achieved by viewing masterworks at art exhibitions and by preparing individual and group sketches for decorating festive events, greeting cards, and invitations using Krolevets woven towel motifs. The possibility of using computer graphics in students' creative work in a remote learning format is also noted. The tasks proposed in this article are not only useful for studying art education topics but also for teaching other school subjects. The development of further recommendations in this area could be a promising avenue for future research, as the use of folk art heritage in education is a significant contribution to preserving our cultural memory, identity, unity, and our self-awareness as a Ukrainian nation.
