Introduction

Future of Ukraine significantly depends on the quality level of teaching new generations about spirituality and culture. Of course, it is urgent for people of any age as well. A great upbringing failure has become evident in the context of a military conflict and social confron-tation, which has finally led to a deep crisis in all spheres of people"s life. In connection with the mentioned above, it comes to mind the ideas expressed by Erich Fromm and Immanuel Kant focused on the fact that a personality should become the main value and purpose of hu-man existence. People should cultivate their best traits. Moreover, the Day of the Humanity is worth to become the main holiday of the year! Nowadays we have to observe depreciation of spirituality, moral values, vagueness of ideals, and uncertainty of people"s desires in the con-text of their life planning, as well as a general lack of culture in the society. Degeneration of the human spirituality is increasing. Social vulnerability and instability as well as mass media and other information and technical tools have had a negative impact on human souls and spir-it. Particularly, it has influenced on consciousness and feelings of young people. We strongly

believe that education and upbringing should become an energy source for the further "culture production" where "culture" term is closely connected with high moral values. This is because the culture aspect discussion implies taking into account many centuries of humankind"s ex-perience in sciences and arts development as well as all kinds of the conventional wisdom.

Also, it is necessary to take into account the highest human aspirations such as spirituality, moral and esthetical views, as well as behavior in general context and the particular human deeds. Without dealing with culture and arts, which serve as a fundamental basis for an ideal creation, it is impossible to educate a true human being - a patriot, a man of consciousness and honor. In the mentioned above context an ideal creation as an example of excellence can be considered as a road map for forming an individual values scale and finding opportunities to make human life rich and fulfilled.

The objective of the study - to represent the role and significance of culture and arts for educational process where they are considered as a fundamental basis of youth"s upbringing in the context of universal and national human values.

The content of the study

Nowadays education in Ukraine is looking for innovative ways of further development, particularly, in the context of European education. We strongly believe that it can lead to success only if we follow the words of wisdom said by well-known educators as for the im-portance of upbringing, culture and arts. We should remember that improvement, purification, culturalization and enlightenment of "human material" should be carried out through culture and arts. It gives a person an opportunity to glitter by the brilliancy of the unique individual talent, which everyone gets from the Almighty. John Amos Comenius, a founder of a peda-gogical science, was right when he encouraged all nations of the world to build a rapport and support as well as to form a universal human brotherhood and to encourage peaceful labor. He highly appreciated human life that, as he believed, should reflect a humanistic idea. In his view every person is the most beautiful and perfect creature of nature. Only through education and upbringing, it is possible to realize the full human potential and not to become "wild animals, still logs" [Komensk'y, 1982: 80]. That is why he called school as a "humanity studio." He rec-ommended studying at Academies only for "the finest human individuals." In his mind, only the most talented young people should get education.

Every historical stage according to the prevalent culture, arts and ideals used to build a particular model of a cultural and aesthetic human image. In Antiquity, an ideal of a man who had a beautiful body and soul was glorified. In Middle Ages, an image of a noble knight who served as an example of honor, modesty and courage was celebrated. In the mentioned above context Renaissance is of a particular interest for us. That time the focus was on humanistic ideas, universal knowledge, personal harmonious development as well as educational, cogni-tive and hedonistic values of arts. An ideal human image of those times has been imprinted forever in masterpieces of art, sculptures, literature and music. Eternal images of a true Man are still recognized as hard-working, creative and honest people who have high moral qualities and are able to create a better life. Moreover, that life is associated with the ideals of Wisdom,
