CULTURAL-FORMING POTENTIAL OF STATE ART LYCEUMS: GENESIS AND MODERNITY

Abstract

The article explores historical, legislative, and cultural aspects of the origin, formation, and development of State Art Lyceums, which from the 1960s until 2020 were known as specialized art boarding schools. The roots and key stages of the establishment of these institutions are examined, highlighting their significant role in the development and support of the potential of gifted youth in the field of culture and art. The research methodology involved the use of a combination of methods and approaches: analytical, culturological, historical-retrospective, and systemic, allowing for a comprehensive investigation of the identified issues and obtaining well-founded research results. Six art lyceums, legally subordinated to the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine, are identified and systematized. The main features of state art lyceums are determined. The article focuses on the genesis of Ukraine's educational policy in the fields of education and culture. Based on a detailed analysis of significant changes in the legislative framework during the period of independence and the periods of reform in the art education system driven by the processes of Eurointegration, their impact on the development of state art lyceums is revealed. The study also pays attention to the current state of state art lyceums, their tasks, and features of functioning during the period of geopolitical changes and contemporary challenges. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the systematization of domestic specialized art educational institutions for gifted children and the determination of their cultural-creative component in the system of art education in Ukraine.
