Modern education is being corrected by the processes of globalization, therefore, it is important to assess the updating of professional training and also specific features of the professional activities which are relevant for the period. In the most important EU strategic documents it is considered to involve students in the development of the study system and orient studies towards the student more and more. Therefore, in the following way, such favourable environment is created to realize educational projects. In the respect of education, this means, that, the relation of co-operation between (an individual and environment culture) is strengthened, grounded on practical experience. The article reveals the role of the method of educational projects while deepening professional experience of the future art specialist, also, promoting activity to act and make decisions independently and finally, affording the student the opportunity to look for one's own relevant ways of activity. It has been noticed, that applying the method of projects, not only students', but also the teacher's role changes in the study process, that the whole complex of the new environment, subject teaching/learning and peculiar activities have been realistically assessed.
