Art Education and the Didactics of Art Education

professors: Hana Babyrádová, Petr Exler, Petra Šobánová

The most significant mark of truly “contemporary” and “professional” teaching of Art Education is the direct connection of artistic creation to the educational aspect. In this sense Art Education is appreciated primarily as “latent” education—i.e., an attempt at education which develops via working with materials and ideas, without a prior construed form of the resulting artefact. The artistic activity of children or students can be motivated by the study of art works tried and tested by time, but more often it arises from the stimulus of an unmediated reflex to life and thus exists together with “free-style art” in independent simultaneity.
