The positive dynamics of the indicators of the experimental groups in relation to the control groups has been revealed. At the stage of the control experiment, indicators growth dynamics is noticeable in the experimental groups of medium and high levels in comparison with the ascertaining and formative stages, the low level drops significantly. For example, the low level of such parameter as”Analysis of the emotional-semantic message” when painting the landscape to convey an artistic-figurative state in the first year of study was 44%, in the second year of study - 41%, in the third year of study - 36% and in the fourth year of study - 30%. The analysis of the works of students of the pedagogical experiment led to the conclusion that methodological techniques and assumptions (a set of special tasks and exercises) aimed at enhancing the process of forming artistic-figurative thinking had a positive impact on the quality of work. During the study, the most effective and productive forms of work with students were established, and processing the results of students' creative activity showed the effectiveness of the selected teaching methods and techniques.
