Abstract. The activity of T. Shevchenko in the development of art education is considered: little-known facts are analyzed that confirm the documented existence of Taras Shevchenko’s project to create an art school (before the arrest of the artist and poet in 1847). It is stated, in particular, that he gave lectures on the theory of painting and arts, and from February 21, 1847 he was to begin teaching drawing at the Kyiv University named after St. Volodymyr.
The purpose of the study is to substantiate the significance of T. Shevchenko’s creative and teaching activities in the formation of academic art education in Ukraine. The relevance of the topic is due to the fact that it was Shevchenko who became the cornerstone for the formation of the national art school of Ukraine.
Shevchenko’s life goals did not come true, but his ideological and aesthetic worldview had a direct artistic and pedagogical influence on contemporaries and artist-teachers of Ukraine of subsequent generations. With different ideological approaches, Shevchenko’s art education ideas were implemented both in Soviet Ukraine and in the centers of the Ukrainian diaspora. It is proven that in the methodological dimension, Shevchenko’s project had a broad culturological basis, was based on history, archeology, art history, national everyday culture and applied art, and philosophy in general.
Conclusions. Having overcome the stereotypes of academicism, T. Shevchenko established a new creative and pedagogical method, which received many followers and an infinite number of forms of implementation in all types and genres of art.
Keywords: Taras Shevchenko, art education, academy of arts, formation, followers, fine arts, philosophy of art.
