Edukacja przez sztukę: artysta w szkole

Abstract

In modern education, teaching through art and experience is substituting learning by memorization. An example is provided by activities conducted by artists in Polish schools, where art and learning meet (according to STEAM Theory). The Art of Engagement belongs to new educational trends, where creative activities and art lead to acquisition of knowledge and skills in various areas. As a result of experiences of one of the resident artists and a group of teenagers from the YouthSociotherapy Centre No. 8 in Radość, a certain model of cooperation between an artist and theschool has been developed. It is consistent with new trends in pedagogy and it has been presented in this article. The aim of the described activities is an introduction of connective and creative methods into the education system by an artist-educator. These methods have led the participants to ego states cooperation.
