“A car graphic model creating” task as means of development of student creative abilities in descriptive geometry studying

The computerization of graphics training at universities requires new forms of self-study. Self-study should not have only reproductive function, but it should also encourage students’ self-education and prepare them for future professional activity. The use of computer graphics tasks with the elements of entertainment while training students some graphics disciplines enhances cognitive activity of students and provides thorough study of the subject. The paper aimed to design and test the technique of computer graphics used in descriptive geometry training to activate the students’ creativity. We used generalization and systematization of best teaching practices in training students of graphics disciplines with modern computer technologies. A new original graphics assignment on descriptive geometry is offered. The usage of graphics tasks reflecting the future professional activity of students is proved to increase the efficiency of the educational process. The task developed can be used for learning the basics of 3D computer modeling.
