THE STUDY OF COMPUTER GRAPHICS IN THE SYSTEM OF GENERAL EDUCATION

Abstract

In this article the theoretical and the methodical basics of teaching computer graphics in the system of the general education are covered. First of all, it concerns lessons of informatics, but the computer graphics has serious opportunities for its using in the course of training other disciplines, in particular at geometry lessons. Use of vector graphics in geometry promotes activation of cognitive activity of pupils. Use of raster graphics also can make an essential contribution to development of a technique of geometry training. Raster graphics is fundamentals of computer graphics. When studying technology of raster editors it is impossible to ignore its value for understanding of other types of computer graphics, in particular fractal graphics. Studying raster technologies, it is also necessary to pay attention to transformation of formats of files as in the future the number of formats will only increase.Use of computer graphics allow children, even without art abilities, to feel as a certain creator, to create artistic images and gives big opportunities for self-realization. And the most important thing is the use of graphic opportunities of the computer allows to increase the interest of pupils in the lessons and to stir up their cognitive activity.
