The author of the article analyzes the phenomenon of artistic needs from the
perspective of humanities research – philosophy (aesthetics), psychology and
pedagogy. It is determined that artistic needs appear to be the needs for consumption
or creation of an art product, work of art, the need for artistic and creative activities.
For this matter, it is evident that artistic needs are often associated with the
development of creative abilities. However the very creative people are able to
transform the world, and the very permanent need in the art (artistic creativity) will
produce a creative person. Researchers in the sphere of humanities prove the
extraordinary significance of artistic needs, to be more precise, the person’s
possession of the artistic needs as phenomena that are able to cure, to prolong life
and youth, that have an active transformative power of both the person and the
world. Artistic need appears to be the most important spiritual need that promotes
formation of the holistic world of the whole personality.
