The relevance of the research lies in the fact that at preschool age, children receive the first ideas about art and the opportunity to familiarize themselves with it, the opportunity to master a particular artistic activity. Aesthetic education occupies one of the main places among the most important tasks in the field of upbringing of preschoolers. It is from early childhood that it is necessary to develop a sense of beauty in a child, teach him to understand and feel this beauty. Another important task of upbringing is to create conditions for revealing the creative abilities of the child.
Preschool age- a unique period from the standpoint of the development of the child's creative abilities. Its uniqueness lies in the fact, that children at this age have increased cognitive initiative and curiosity, openness to everything new, emotional responsiveness, empathy, empathy, perception of art and life. The teacher's responsibility for the child is, so as not to miss this happy period. Creativity does not come to children by some kind of inspiration, creativity must be taught [1, p.94].
According to V.S. Mukhina creativity is a complex of intellectual, creative and motivational factors. V.S. Mukhina identifies five constituent structural components:
the dominant role of cognitive motivation;
research, creative activity, expressed in the discovery of new things, in the formulation and solution of problems;
opportunities to achieve original solutions
forecasting and anticipation capabilities;
the child's ability to create ideal standards that provide high aesthetic, moral, intellectual assessments [2, p. 29].
We are interested in the development of creative abilities in preschool children. The FSES of preschool education has highlighted the area of artistic and aesthetic development as the most important means of forming an aesthetic attitude to reality, a means of moral and mental education, that is, as a means of forming a comprehensively developed, spiritually rich personality [3, p.5].
The process of introducing older preschoolers to creative activity can be characterized as a process of emergence, deepening and expressing in the creativity of a personally meaningful life meaning for a child. This meaning is defined as the main path of comprehending creative activity and life in their unity. This path also allows you to combine a variety of approaches on a single conceptual basis in accordance with its personal significance for the child [4, p.42].
A list of the different types of creativity in kindergarten shows, that each of them has its own characteristics. However, the fundamentals of the activity are the same: in every child eflects objects of the surrounding world, creates a tangible product, the result of the activity is intended mainly for practical application [5].
Big role in the development of creativity preschool children are classes of visual activities.
Purpose of the study- substantiate pedagogical conditions building creativity preschool children through classes in visual activities.
Experimental base is the municipal budgetary preschool educational institution "Kindergarten number 69 "Brusnichka" urban district "The city of Yakutsk", where 20 pupils took part: experimental and control 10 children each. To the experimental group children enter, who attend the club drawing "Development".
The research includes three stages:
- organizational - selection of research tools;
- main - conducting research;
- final – processing, analysis and interpretation of data, formulation of conclusions based on the results obtained.
Research methods. The work used the following methods: qualitative and quantitative analysis of empirical data.
To test the hypothesis put forward, used three techniques:
Technique "Unfinished drawing" G.А. Uruntaeva and Yu.F. Afonkina;
The adapted technique of N.V. Shaidurova;
Creative task "Show how he moves, speaks"
At the ascertaining stage we have identified the entry level development of creativity preschool children in art by three methods.
According to the results of the "Unfinished drawing" method, G.А. Uruntaeva and Yu.F. Afonkina, we have identified the levels development of creative abilities in preschool children at the ascertaining stage in the experimental and control group. 30% of children in the experimental group and in 20% of children in the control group there is an average level of development of creative abilities. The children came up with and drew in general what, which is not new, but carries clear elements of creative imagination and makes a certain emotional impression on the viewer. The details and images of the drawings have been worked out satisfactorily.
At the ascertaining stage, a high level development of creativity typical in 30% of children in the control group and in 20% of children in the experimental group. Children invented and painted quite original and colorful drawings, although the picture is not completely new, the details of the picture have been worked out well. 20% of children in both groups have a low level of development of creative abilities, the drawings are characterized by simplicity, faintly visible fantasy and the details are not well worked out. 20% of children in the experimental group and 10% of children in the control group showed a very low level development of creative abilities, they failed in the allotted time come up with nothing and drew individual strokes and lines. 20% of children in the control group and 10% of children in the experimental group showed a very high level development of creative abilities. In the allotted time, the children came up with and drew an original, unusual, clearly indicative of an extraordinary fantasy, about a rich imagination. These drawings make a great impression on the viewer, his images and details are carefully worked out.

During the diagnostic work, children came up with and drew quite original and colorful drawings, although the picture is not completely new, the details of the picture have been worked out well.
According to the results of the adapted technique N.V. Shaidurova, in 50% of children in the experimental group, 40% of children in the control group are dominated by the average level of development of creative abilities. During classes, they have difficulty in creating drawings on the topic, with the help of a teacher, draws up drawings in a certain sequence and according to a model; show little independence and creativity in completing assignments; satisfactory quality of the work performed.
Analysis of the results creative task "Show how he moves, speaks", 50% of children in the experimental group, 40% of children in the control group have an average level of development of creative abilities. This indicates that, that they only showed some elements, but with a rather expressive display of images.
According to the summary diagnostic data, it was revealed that that children at this stage of empirical research have insufficiently developed creative abilities. More children have difficulty creating drawings. They show little or no independence and creativity in completing tasks. These results made it necessary to work in this direction.

Thus, based on the theoretical material we studied and analysis of the results of experimental work in the preschool educational institution, the following generalization can be made. Preschooler creativity-these are individual qualities, determining the success of performing any creative activity.Preschool age is a unique period for the development of a child's creative abilities. Its uniqueness is that children at this age have heightened cognitive initiative and curiosity, openness to everything new, emotional responsiveness, empathy.
One of the most important conditions for the successful development of children's creativity-variety and variability of work with children in art circles. The novelty of the furnishings an unusual start to work, creation of a game situation, explanation, demonstration of techniques, drawing techniques factors- this is what helps to prevent monotony and boredom in children's art,guarantees the liveliness and immediacy of children's perception and activities.
According to the results of diagnostics at the control stage of the study, we revealed a positive dynamics in the development of creative abilities through visual activity in preschool children.
Based on the results of pedagogical research, it can be stated that the set goal has been achieved, the tasks have been successfully solved.
