Development of students' creative thinking when teaching the elements of bionic simulation

Bionic simulation is widely used in design. Applying biological principles in graphic activity, designers try to reveal a special aesthetic kind of regularities in the natural analogue. Natural forms should be used creatively, otherwise it will not be possible to obtain the desired results. The current stage of mastering the forms of wildlife in the objective world has its own specifics: today we acquire not only the formal aspects of nature, but establish the deep connections between the developmental laws of wildlife and the objective world. Use of bionic simulation in creation of aircraft models is an effective means for the development of creative thinking of future handicrafts teachers, and students in out-of-class activity.
