EDUCATION THROUGH ART – THEORY AND PRACTICE
EDUCATION THROUGH ART – THEORY AND PRACTICE

Summary/Abstract: The education through art is, or at least should be, a fundamental social driver, whose overall importance in the process of humanization and creation of a fully developed personality, undoubtedly, surpasses all others. Nevertheless, although there is a number of theoretical approaches and interpretations referring to this issue, it seems that new and useful ideas are not always sufficient, and can not offer adequate solutions. The new technologies of modern education often affirm mediocrity, which paradoxically can be competitive only to itself, more and more void of indvidual differences among protégés, particularly those who are demonstrating their distinct artistic gift. Thus, we can rightly ask whether in so designed system of neoliberal provenance there is enough room for the educational processes that recognize their purpose in art, and consequently whether the promotion of fundamental aesthetic values is possible in it? Since the children are the focus of our interest, namely, their defense of kitsch and bad taste, education through art and promotion of crucial aesthetic values are of particular importance.
