The Potential of the Arts in Education
The arts are regarded as essential to learning and education. The first module examines the reasons for this and the extent to which artistic processes can facilitate self-educational processes. In reflecting on art and cultural education, each participant’s artistic approach will be taken into account. Here, one’s own artistic stance and interests are to serve as starting points for cultural education processes. Artistic research aspects will also be discussed. Additionally, the training will introduce fundamental concepts for developing your own practice-based project during the course.
