However, the stressful situation forces us to look for new forms of interaction between the teacher and the student. Accordingly, the educational program "Drawing and painting" was adjusted – full-scale academic productions were replaced by a set of more independent creative tasks that do not require constant contact of the student with the teacher in the classroom.The aim of the updated online course is to master various means of visual presentation of student’s ideas, to study all stages of work, from the concept of the work to the selection of the composition’s format and the creation of an original and expressive graphic image. The updated course is focused on developing the ability to move beyond stereotypical associations and work with a wide range of images. The conducted pedagogical experiment allows us to assert that the individualized process of performing creative tasks within sufficiently broad thematic boundaries contributes to the development of creative analytical thinking, activates the creative abilities of students and forms an intellectual approach to learning, motivation and professional values.
