One of the tasks that society poses before the modern education system is the upbringing of a cultural personality, the formation of not only material, but also spiritual needs. This task has become relevant in connection with the revision of the value system in modern society. The formation of the cultural needs of the new generation is carried out through familiarization with the best examples, with the artistic values accumulated by human civilization throughout its existence. In addition, children need to be introduced to the history of culture.
A person can realize the value of a work of art only if he masters the system of categories and concepts.
Art is a creative reproduction of the surrounding reality through artistic images. It exists as a system of species, interconnected. The endless variety of existing art forms is explained by the complexity and diversity of the world. The main types have developed historically and have various ways of creative embodiment. In music - sounds, in dance and ballet - plastic, color in the visual arts, volume in sculpture, a word in literature, etc.
The most common is the classification of art by dividing it into three groups. The first group includes spatially plastic forms of art: visual, decorative and applied, the art of architecture and photography. The second group includes such dynamic-temporal forms as literature and music. And the classification of art includes such spatio-temporal forms as choreographic, theatrical and cinema art in the third group.
None of the forms of art can independently display the picture of our complex, constantly changing reality, only all of their diversity, thanks to a system of expressive forms, can come closer to creating a more or less complete and comprehensive image of the world.
Literature as a form of art uses the word to create artistic images. This is a universal tool for creating, displaying and re-creating reality. Words make it possible to embody a holistic artistic image or picture of the world obtained by affecting all human organs of perception: touch, hearing, smell, vision and taste. The word is a universal tool, literature as a form of art acquires its own specificity through the use of this particular means of creating an artwork.
The literature is interested in the phenomena of nature and society, social issues, psychological and spiritual problems of the individual, and much more that exists in the real world. The system of literary clans and genres reflects certain aspects of reality through dramatization, epic narration or lyrical immersion.
Classification of literature can be carried out by dividing it into fiction, scientific, educational, historical and reference. In addition to the above, there are many other types of literature and new ones are constantly appearing.
In turn, fiction as a form of art is divided into the following genera: epic, lyrics and drama. The epic includes such genres as epic, novel, short story, novel, story, etc. The lyrics include a poem, a ballad, a poem, etc. Drama - tragedy, comedy, etc.
The epic is one of the three main literary genera that reflects real life through narration, description and reasoning.
Lyrics are the main genre of fiction, reflecting reality through a variety of personality experiences. The main form of lyrics is poetic.
Drama, along with epics and lyrics, is the main kind of literature, which is represented by works created in the form of dialogs and intended, as a rule, for stage production.
Literature as a form of art is a historical phenomenon, all its components and individual elements of the literary process are in permanent interaction. Literature is a living and moving process, an artistic system of images that sensitively responds to everything, even the slightest changes that occur in real life.
