There are three adapting components: educational-cognitive, socio-psychological and vocational. Educational and cognitive adaptation is associated with the change of the basic forms and methods of education. Socio-psychological adaptation is composed of interpersonal relationships – an adaptation to each new team and adaptation to the new teacher. Adapting to a new team will also depend on the initial level of knowledge and skills in drawing. Enrollees with a good grounding in drawing would feel more confident, rather than those who have a low level of training. On how long does the adaptation to the social environment depends the success of training. Adaptation result will be shown in the “adoption of rules, functions, requirements, learning content, methods, forms of professional activity” [17, p. 113].
The third condition for the artistic orientation of enrollees is the implementation of self-organization and self-control of artistic activity. Self-organization is “the activity and the ability of the individual, associated with the ability to organize himself, which are shown in the purposefulness, activity, validity of motivation, planning his activities, independence, quickness of decision-making and responsibility for them, critical evaluation of the results of his actions, a sense of duty” [18, p. 242]. Independence is one of the leading qualities of the person, which is expressed in the ability to set a specific goal, to insist its implementation on their own, to take responsibility for their activities, to act consciously and proactively not only in familiar surroundings, but also in new condition, requiring non-standard solutions.
The idea of self-awareness is considered as realization, evaluation and control by the subject of his own actions, mental processes and states. Self-control is determined by society requirements for human behavior. Actualization of self-control and self-analysis is an integral part of self-development that is consonant with its self-realization, increase interest in artistic activities in the learning process at the preliminary courses.
Creating a situation of success and positive motivation in learning activities affect the successful completion of the adaptation period in new environment of learning, which in turn is an incentive to maintain the interest in artistic activity. It helps the full inclusion of enrollees in independent work, in the process of self-organization and self-examination of their activities, which in turn contributes to the personal fulfillment of the enrollee and the development of artistic and creative orientation.
