Interdisciplinary approach in art and craft education

the article examines the interdisciplinary approach in art and craft education as a complex integrative system of training that meets modern requirements. The subject of the study is the theoretical foundations and practical models of integrating various disciplinary areas in art and craft education. The purpose of the work is to develop a conceptual model of the interdisciplinary approach and determine the key principles of its implementation in the training of specialists in the art and craft profile. The research methodology is based on a systemic analysis of pedagogical practice, a cultural approach to the study of art education and a comparative analysis of educational models using methods of pedagogical modeling and semantic analysis. The results of the study include systematization of the principles of constructing interdisciplinary courses (systematicity, contextuality, problematic nature and compliance of professional activity with the nature of modern means of production), development of practical models of integrating art with humanitarian and natural science disciplines, identification of organizational and methodological difficulties in implementing an interdisciplinary approach. The results are applicable in the field of higher and secondary vocational education in the artistic profile, in the system of advanced training of teachers of creative specialties, as well as in the development of educational programs for art schools and studios. The scientific novelty of the study lies in identifying the synergistic effect of the interaction of traditional practices with modern technological solutions and proposing a modular organization of the educational process with tutor support as a way to overcome the identified methodological contradictions. The study confirms that an interdisciplinary approach contributes not only to the formation of professional competencies, but also to the development of critical thinking, empathy and environmental awareness, which allows training specialists who are able to adapt to rapidly changing socio-cultural realities.
