Abstract

The article analyzes the educational and methodological support for Ukrainian literature in grades 5–7 in the context of inter-artistic connections. The textbooks are reviewed, the level of implementation of cultural competence is assessed in accordance with the State Standard of Basic Secondary Education. Special attention is paid to inter-media analysis, which helps to establish connections between literature and other types of art, in particular painting, music and cinema. The study shows that school textbooks provide for an artistic context in the study of Ukrainian literature, integrating various types of art for an in-depth understanding of artistic texts. The analysis of school textbooks showed that the authors proposed a number of headings (“In the circle of arts!”, “Literature in the circle of arts”, “Artistic dialogues”, etc.) dedicated to inter-artistic connections.

The article emphasizes the need to introduce intermedia analysis tools, which will allow students to develop the ability to more deeply interpret literary works through the prism of other art forms. It is proven that although school textbooks lay the foundation for interartistic analysis, they still need improvement in the direction of developing the methodology of interaction between literature and art. A promising direction for further research is the development of effective methods for applying intermedia analysis in school education.
