This article is devoted to the development and training of methods for creating lighting compositions in the framework of technical education. The developed methodology is based on knowledge adapted to technical education about artistic composition, its laws, and its properties. The necessary theoretical part is attached in the form of clear simple schematics that clearly illustrate the properties and laws of composition. The methodology consists of 8 practical tasks, which are built on the principle of “from simple to complex”. The developed methodology allows you to gradually teach Light and Engineering students to create harmonious light compositions. The two-year practice of teaching the developed methodology at the Sub-department of Light and Engineering has shown its success, as well as that the lighting concepts created at the end of the training are harmonious and fully comply with the laws of composition.
