It is a conscious, task-oriented process of disclosing students’ creative nature in educational and professional activities, characterized by satisfaction, awareness of personal significance of achievements. According to the authors, the structure of the creative self-actualization of future art teachers as a system includes such components as personal artistic and pedagogical culture, the need for creative self-actualization, self-awareness, self-cognition (reflection), self-regulation, self-identification, self-education, artistic and pedagogical creativity. As a result of the study, the authors identified pedagogical technologies, methods and tools, as well as organizational forms of educational and extracurricular activities. The findings contribute to the effective development of personal components of the creative self-actualization of future art teachers in the educational process of the university and can be spread as advanced educational experience.
