Abstract:
Through the examples of global architecture, art and design schools of the 20th and 21st centuries, the authors conduct historical and comparative analyses of the methods of studying form-making elements of composition as a method of development of visual thinking of students. The article discusses applicability and efficiency of integration of a propaedeutic course on primary elements of composition in the Light Modelling Principles and Methods discipline (Lighting Design specialisation, ITMO University), describes the methodological basis of the discipline.
