The object of this research is creative thinking of 5-7th grade schoolchildren and its cultivation in conditions of differentiated art education. The methods of the research are as follows: theoretical, empirical (adapted short test by E. Torrance on creative thinking in the figural form) and methods of mathematical statistics.
Results of the research. To foster creativity while differentially teaching art, a special model was built up. It was based on formation of groups perpetually changing in the process of teaching according to the following criteria of differentiation: singularities of a teenager’s development in cognitive, identity and psycho-social spheres; variety of creative thinking characteristics; variety of imagination characteristics; variety of visual plastic expression characteristics; unequal knowledge of art theory; various abilities and types of visual plastic expression; different developmental phases of visual plastic expression; varying skills of communication and work in group. The main goals of this model are the following: to find out, on the basis of diversities among schoolchildren, the criteria for general differentiation; to differentiate dynamically without establishment of permanent groups; to ensure favourable conditions of learning for groups of different predisposition; to cultivate creativity according to the schoolchildren’s abilities, needs, interests and motivation of learning; to encourage pupils to perform their tasks creatively; to teach them to work in groups and solve arising problems creatively; to arouse the need of creative self-expression in children.
The data of the experiment show that dynamic differentiated teaching of art had a positive effect on development of creative thinking. More schoolchildren were highly estimated for the freedom and flexibility of their creative thinking, originality and minuteness of thought.
