Summary/Abstract: Educational systems increasingly recognize the importance of developing children's creativity and contribute to the cultural and intercultural education, but it is not necessarily clear how the arts are expected to contribute either as individual subjects or operating with other curricular areas. At European level, 21 countries/states have had similar objectives for the arts curriculum. These included: developing artistic skills, knowledge and understanding, involvement in a variety of art forms; increased cross-cultural understanding; sharing artistic experiences, thus becoming both artistic consumers and contributors. But in addition to this, in most countries there are expected personal artistic and social / cultural results - from arts education (such as confidence and self-esteem, individual expression, teamwork, intercultural understanding and cultural participation) . In particular, among the goals of art education, there is a new focus on creativity (often in relation to its importance in innovation) and cultural education (in relation to both individual identity and promotion of intercultural understanding).
