Drawing is the leading special discipline in the process of educating an artist-teacher. Our ideas and associative emotions are closely connected with the objective world, with its external and internal properties. Direct reliance on visual experience and reflection is the most important feature of artistic perception. The specificity of realistic drawing lies in the fact that real reality is taken as the basis of creativity, and the transfer of the artist's thoughts and feelings is carried out in a figurative form through the image of specific objects. The Soviet School of Fine Arts defines the study of realistic drawing in art education as the most important factor not only of a practical nature, but also of ideological significance.
