The authors analyze the specifics of dialectic unity of contents and form in relation to the process of drawing and note that the relationship of contents and form is inseparable and is in synthesis with such important links of art process as creativity and esthetic perception which act in respect of formation, differentiation and synthesizing of form. In the article it is noted that the form of any concrete work of fine arts is complete and figurative, and also is unique depending on the originality of the contents. Thus the greatest activity of the internal and external form is manifested in the course of art harmonization of spatial, constructive and plastic elements into a complete graphic representation. The form in the academic drawing is a means of solving this problem; that is, the form is a graphic «language» which is used to express the contents. At the same time, the form has also its own esthetic value; it not only manifests the skill of the artist, but also makes the return impact on the contents. Therefore the unity (harmony) of contents and form is usually considered as a criterion of artistry. Thus it should be noted that the contents possesses an art value, and the form is an esthetic value; otherwise, their organic merge in the image is unattainable. The authors note that the form of an artistic image in drawing evolves from synthesis of the phenomena of prospect, design and rhythm; thus an object of re-search drawing is an integral multilevel value-semantic structure of contents and form of drawing, where synthesis of the rhythms imposed on each other becomes a means of achievement of not only structural integrity of drawing, but also its greatest expressiveness.
