Steam integration of Petrykivka painting in design courses with the development of parametric ornaments

Анотація

In the educational paradigm, STEAM education is considered an innovative approach to training specialists in creative industries that integrates science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics. The article substantiates the feasibility of implementing STEAM principles in the professional training of designers by engaging national artistic heritage – Petrykivka painting – as a fundamental cultural code of Ukrainian visual art. It is noted that the use of digital technologies and parametric modeling in the educational process enables the integration of traditional artistic techniques with modern design tools, fostering a new type of creative thinking. Purpose. The purpose of the study is to determine the theoretical and methodological foundations for integrating Petrykivka painting into design courses and to develop a pedagogical model for creating parametric ornaments using digital tools. Methods. The methodological framework includes systemic, culturological, and activity-based approaches, as well as methods of comparative analysis, pedagogical modeling, computer design, and experimental verification of the effectiveness of the proposed solutions. Results. The study resulted in a conceptual model of STEAM-integrated traditional ornamental art in the educational process, promoting the development of creativity, digital competence, and aesthetic awareness among future designers. An authorial algorithm for creating parametric ornaments was proposed, based on the principles of modularity, symmetry, and variability, enabling the combination of elements of the Petrykivka style with parametric technologies. Experimental testing proved the effectiveness of the integrative approach in developing professional and interdisciplinary competencies. Conclusions. It is emphasized that STEAM integration of national artistic traditions into design courses not only contributes to the innovative development of art education but also strengthens studentsʼ cultural identity, expanding the possibilities for their creative self-expression in a digital environment.
