This article examines the problems of ensuring the harmony of scientific research and creative activity in fine arts education. The study emphasizes that in modern conditions, higher education alone is not enough to prepare competitive specialists in the field of art. The research highlights the need for integration of scientific and creative processes in teaching, the importance of interdisciplinary connections, and the role of mentorship in forming a research environment. Based on international and Uzbek scholarly studies, the paper argues that the combination of theory and practice strengthens students’ critical and creative thinking, fosters their research skills, and contributes to the preparation of well-rounded teachers-researchers in fine arts. The author proposes practical recommendations such as establishing professor-student cooperation, introducing scientific projects in curricula, and actively applying information technologies in the learning process. These measures will ensure that students not only become creative artists, but also researchers with deep scientific knowledge and innovative thinking.
