Abstract

Due to the radical changes in education affecting all levels of the educational system, the issue of training future specialists, particularly those who will educate the future generation of the country, has become increasingly important. Special attention is paid to primary school, as younger pupils represent the first stage of secondary education. Therefore, there is a growing need to support the development of children’s potential through the use of art-pedagogical methods in art lessons at primary school. 
The purpose of the study is to substantiate the significance of using art-pedagogical methods in art lessons in primary school and to determine their role in the development of younger pupils’ creative potential.
