expansion of research on the theory of
aesthetic education of a person;
− the fourth period (the beginning of the 21st
century - to the present) - a comprehensive
study of the possibilities of aesthetic
education as the main condition for the
general development of the personality.
A holistic theory of aesthetic education as the
main condition of general personality
development, based on the achievements of
modern pedagogical science, provides
qualitatively new opportunities for the creation
and implementation of a system of aesthetic
education as the main condition of general
personality development in broad educational
practice, is of primary importance (Sirant, 2019).
Emphasizing the need for aesthetic education,
Vytkovskaya N. S., Shcherbo A. B., Zhola
(1985) consider the formation of the ability to
relate to the world aesthetically in a person as the
main task of aesthetic education: to be able to
evaluate and see the great, beautiful, tragic,
comic, to multiply the beauty of the environment
through one's activity. Aesthetic education
concerns everything that an individual does in
material society, moral relations in a team,
political relations in society, and scientific
knowledge, that is, there is no limitation to any
one sphere of reality.
The system of aesthetic education as the main
condition for the general development of the
personality must function with the constant
interrelationship of the components:
− firstly, aesthetic education as the main
condition of the general development of the
personality, as part of the general process of
human formation, is inextricably linked with
any direction of the education of a young
person. Aesthetic education will be effective
and efficient only with a comprehensive
approach;
− secondly, aesthetic education as the main
condition for the general development of the
personality should be aimed at the formation
of the worldview of this personality. This
function is carried out in the individual
through the constant development of the
emotional and sensory spheres;
− thirdly, aesthetic education as the main
condition for the general development of the
personality covers all areas of human
activity, such as behavior, everyday life,
technical and artistic creativity, work,
communication with works of art, sports,
etc.;
− fourthly, aesthetic education contributes to
the individual's desire for self-education: the
development of spiritual needs, and moral
self-improvement (Mochan, 2011).
The involvement of a person in creative activity
is one of the most important components of his
aesthetic education and contributes to the overall
development of the personality. With this
approach, the individual has the opportunity for
self-development, self-expression, and
spirituality; a person shows inclinations to
creativity, manifests talents and feels a desire for
self-improvement during life, observes the
development of creative thinking, manifests a
creative attitude to reality, and creative
imagination. Only with the help of such an
approach is possible the general development of
the personality and the upbringing of an
extraordinary personality who will think
creatively, and create a world around him that
will correspond to personal aesthetic ideals
(Batrak, 2015).
The organization of aesthetic education for
overall personality development in a higher
education institution considers the creation of an
aesthetic atmosphere in the educational
environment a mandatory stage when studying
professional subjects from all disciplines of
professional direction when conducting
extracurricular work with student youth.
Relationships between the members of the
teaching staff of the entire educational institution
and the collectives of student groups and
departments are important in aesthetic education
for the general development of the personality; as
well as relations between the students themselves
and the teaching staff (Vitvytska, 2012).
Creative activity forms an aesthetic attitude to
art, reality, nature, and work, activates the
development of the student's inner world, which
contributes to the general development of the
personality, his aesthetic education, develops
creative imagination, the culture of feelings, the
ability to perceive and create beauty in all
spheres of life. Through aesthetic education, the
teacher with the aim of general personality
development, involves students in the world of
beauty, the main indicators of which are: art,
fiction, nature, social activities, and
communication (Zyazyun & Sagach, 1997).
Rapid changes in society lead to changes in
priorities in aesthetic education, art, and the value
system. In the new socio-artistic reality, we will
single out important changes, in connection with
which teachers are revising the entire system and
