Abstract
Painting is one of the most influential components of visual arts education, contributing to the development of students’ creative thinking, aesthetic awareness, and cultural identity. In Uzbekistan, painting education is deeply rooted in national artistic traditions such as miniature art, ornamental composition, and applied decorative crafts. This study examines the expanded pedagogical functions of painting in fostering visual literacy, emotional intelligence, and interdisciplinary learning. It also explores the role of competency-based curriculum, digital tools, and innovative teaching strategies in improving students artistic performance and motivation. Special attention is given to how painting supports cultural continuity while encouraging modern artistic experimentation.
The research concludes that systematic integration of painting practices in visual arts instruction enhances both individual creativity and collective appreciation of national heritage, thereby strengthening the overall effectiveness and relevance of art education in contemporary Uzbekistan.
