Art Education. Proposed Changes in Teaching and Learning

The paper advocates for the integration of Community Based Art Education (CBAE) into teaching practices, emphasizing its role in enhancing students' sociocultural identities and contextual understanding of local art and culture. It highlights the importance of educators in fostering an appreciation for art within specific contexts while addressing students' social environments. The argument is supported by various educational theories, including psychoanalytic, gestalt, behaviorist, and cognitive theories, which provide a theoretical framework for implementing CBAE in educational institutions.
