In the article, the main emphasis is on the development of modern art education in Ukraine and its relationship with the new challenges facing artists-pedagogues in modern conditions. Special attention is paid to higher art education in the field of decorative and applied art, where a number of problems and tasks arise that require immediate solutions. The author emphasizes the vulnerability of such art forms as artistic wood, glass, ceramics, textiles and metal in the context of modern changes and technological influences. Changes in the concept of "decorative and applied art" are reflected in the blurring of boundaries between fine and decorative and applied art, which requires new approaches in art education. The terminological challenges in the modern art of Ukraine are considered. The history of the formation of art education in the western Ukrainian lands and the role of the department of artistic wood at the Lviv National Academy of Arts in the education of future specialists in decorative and applied art are analyzed and considered. The article discusses the challenges facing artists who work with wood and the woodworking industry as a whole in today's environment. These challenges are not only a threat, but also a source of new opportunities for the application of modern technologies in artistic wood. They encourage artists to creatively search for solutions to not only technological, but also figurative aspects of works, opening new perspectives for the development of this material in modern art.
