Putintseva T.A. A COMPREHENSIVE METHODOLOGY FOR DEVELOPING FUTURE DESIGNERS’ ARTISTIC AND IMAGINATIVE PERCEPTION OF RHYTHM: FROM MUSICAL AND LITERARY EXPERIENCE TO PROJECT GRAPHICSInsufficiently precise formation of the artistic image of a design work leads to errors in the communicative interaction between the design object and the potential consumer. Therefore, during the professional education of future designers at universities, there is an urgent need for an in-depth study of methods for forming a harmonious, precise artistic image of a design object. One of the most multifaceted and unique means of pictorial composition is rhythm. I consider rhythm to be a crucial means of form-formation both in nature and in art and design. The functioning of rhythm is examined at an interdisciplinary level, within the interaction of various areas of human activity and nature, in the context of teaching specialized disciplines to future designers. A semantic characterization of the concept of rhythm is presented. It reveals how the elements of musical organization, through the figurative perception of the temporal aspect of music and the adaptation of its elements to the specific expressive language of spatial arts in architecture, sculpture, painting, graphics, and design, have found expression in the concept of time. The proposed comprehensive teaching methodology for the topic "Meter and Rhythm" in the "Propaedeutics (Fundamentals of Composition)" course at the Design Department of Orenburg State University enables a thorough study and practical application of various types of rhythm to reveal subtle, precise meanings of dynamics, directed movement, and development in the artistic image of a design object. The focus is on developing students' artistic and imaginative perception of rhythm through assignments on the use of rhythm in visualizing semantic concepts. The relationship between musical rhythm and rhythm as a means of visual composition is revealed. In both music and the visual arts and design, meter, as the simplest form of rhythmic harmonization, allows for the synchronization and attunement of more complex rhythmic sequences and the expression of the "flow of time" through a specific artistic image.Key words: graphic design, methodology, rhythm, metric repetition, composition, music, project graphics, artistic image.
