Abstract
This study is devoted to a comprehensive analysis of the impact of global distance learning trends on the formation of creative competencies among students of art universities in the People's Republic of China. Based on the extensive empirical material collected in the period 2021-2023, key patterns of transformation of educational practices in the context of digitalization of art education have been identified. The results of a multilevel study are presented, including an analysis of educational platforms, a survey of teachers and students, as well as monitoring of creativity indicators using modern diagnostic tools. It has been found that the integration of digital technologies into distance learning for art students, while meeting certain pedagogical conditions, contributes to a statistically significant increase in creative competencies, in particular, flexibility of thinking (an increase of 27,3%), originality of ideas (an increase of 32,5%) and projective skills (an improvement of 24,6%). A model for the formation of creative competencies in distance learning has been developed and tested, taking into account the specifics of art education in China. Practical recommendations on optimizing distance art education in order to maximize the development of students' creative potential are proposed.
