A short-term sketch as a key element of an adaptive methodology for teaching academic drawing to Chinese students at a Russian pedagogical university

The relevance of the study is due to the need to develop a specialized pedagogical approach to effectively introduce Chinese students, whose artistic perception is formed by the tradition of "gohua" and "se-i," to the system of the Russian academic school of drawing, where a short-term sketch is a fundamental skill. The article studied the specifics of intercultural training that Chinese students face when performing short-term sketches, such as the lack of habit of working with a rapidly changing nature and the priority of linear-plastic image over tonal-symbolic. Key contradictions between methodologies are revealed: a holistic, contemplative "se-i" approach and an analytical, linear method of short-term sketching. The theoretical ma-terial is supported by examples of graphic works - author's sketches. Difficulties of a practical nature have been identified when the requirement to quickly fix the three-dimensional shape and space contradicts the tradition of carefully embodying the essence of the depicted. To solve this problem, the author proposes an adaptive technique that gradually integrates the principles of "se-i" (vision integrity, line expressiveness, laconicism) into the process of mastering academic problems - from plastic analysis and movement to the transmission of chiaroscuro. Special attention is paid to the comparative analysis of the methods for drawing P.P. Chistyakov, N.N. Rostovtsev and V.S. Kuzin. As a result, a person-oriented approach (dialogue learning model) is formed, where a short-term sketch serves not as a training of a mechanical skill, but as an in-tool for the synthesis of two artistic systems. It is concluded that the adaptive technique based on the dialogue of cultures makes it possible to turn the natural cultural "obstacle" into a fulcrum for the development of unical bicultural competence among students - the ability to flexibly use various graphic languages. The novelty of the study lies in the development of a structured adaptive methodology that purposefully uses the principles of Chinese traditional art as a didactic resource for the phased formation of the skill of a short-term academic sketch. The results of the study confirm that the proposed technique helps not only to overcome technical difficulties, but also to form a deep, conscious understanding of drawing as a universal language of artistic thinking among Chinese students.
