The experience of perception plays particularly important role in the process of pictorial activity. Perception is the process reflecting objects and phenomena of reality in all the diversity of their properties and aspects affecting directly the sense organs. In the context of the specificity of pictorial activity, the process of cognition of the spatial properties of the objects of reality is carried out, first of all, through visual and tactile perceptions. Thus, the success of cognition of reality in the process of pictorial activity is determined by the artist's conscious activity aimed at revealing the surrounding world and reflecting it in artistic works, which, in turn, requires the knowledge of the general regularities of the perception process and their use in pictorial creativity.
