Abstract
The article explores the role of visual arts in the professional training of designers, specifically the importance of drawing, painting, and sculpture. Methods of comparative analysis of educational programs and practical approaches in design education were used. It was determined that drawing develops spatial thinking, painting enhances color sensitivity, and sculpture contributes to the understanding of form and volume. The study results confirm that integrating these disciplines into the educational process improves the level of professional training for designers. Future research may expand to analyze the impact of digital technologies on traditional artistic practices in design education.
