Domestic art and education on the turn of the “visual turn”
Abstract
This article examines the possibilities of cinematographic practice in the digital age. Analysis of the visual component in the process of obtaining information and knowledge allows us to conclude that there is a dominance of visual culture over text, which plays a key role in the formation of the cultural and educational space of modern society. Domestic films, as audiovisual art, possessing a high degree of relevance, perform not only educational, but also upbringing functions, contributing to the development of critical thinking, emotional empathy and social responsibility in young people. Cinematography is an important tool in preserving and transmitting cultural and spiritual values of Russian society between generations. Through artistic images and narrative structures, films contribute to the consolidation and reproduction of national identity, as well as the formation of stable moral guidelines. This makes the inclusion of the history of cinema in the educational program of domestic schools justified and appropriate.
