Abstract
Introduction. Modern pedagogical approaches focus on the development of creative potential. The use of sand animation for the development of musical-creative abilities in younger schoolchildren is currently poorly studied, and therefore this study is practical and theoretical in nature. This article examines the importance of the emotional criterion in the development of musical-creative abilities of younger schoolchildren in teaching sand animation during extracurricular activities.
Purpose setting. The aim is to study the influence of emotional criteria in the development of musical-creative abilities of younger schoolchildren through sand animation. Attention is focused on the development of empathy, imaginative memory, and emotional attitude to visual (artistic) activities.
Methodology and methods of the study. Various general scientific research methods were used in the work, among them the analysis of scientific literature, observation, systematization, generalization played an important role.
Results. The results obtained confirm that sand animation makes it possible to develop musical-creative abilities in younger schoolchildren, to assess the levels of which various criteria are used, including emotional criteria including: empathy, imaginative memory, emotional attitude to visual (artistic) activities.
Conclusion. The results obtained indicate that well-organized sand animation classes can increase the level of empathy, imaginative memory, emotional attitude to visual (artistic) activities and generally improve the level of musical-creative abilities among younger schoolchildren.
