Abstract

ANNOTATION: This article explores the pedagogical methods for enhancing expressiveness in still life compositions through color and shape contrast. It discusses how students can develop artistic thinking, aesthetic perception, and visual sensitivity by understanding the interplay of color, shape, and spatial relationships in objects. The study is based on Shovdirov S.A.’s research on teaching visual arts and emphasizes the effective application of color and shape contrast in educational practice.
