Abstract

Abstract: This article examines methods for developing art literacy in 8th–9th grade students in general secondary schools. The study highlights the role of interactive teaching methods, creative exercises, and mini-projects in enhancing students’ compositional thinking, visual perception, and aesthetic skills. The implementation of these approaches encourages independent thinking, creativity, and the ability to make artistic decisions.
