Abstract

CARDENAS-PEREZ, Ramón Esteban  and  TRONCOSO-AVILA, Andrés. Importance of Visual Arts in Education: A Challenge in Teacher Formation. Educare [online]. 2014, vol.18, n.3, pp.191-202. ISSN 1409-4258.

This literature review addresses the redefinition of the Visual Arts curriculum as established by the Ministry of Education of Chile, as well as the action-reaction strategies that primary education teachers should consider when teaching different artistic skills to students grades 1 through 6. It is concluded that the proposed Visual Arts curriculum is a powerful educational tool to assist teachers to contextualize arts teaching; help students to express their ideas and emotions based on a critical, reflective, and permanent attitude; and generate opportunities for personal growth focused on the acquisition of creative skills and models of arts education which contribute, as a whole, to the development of human capacities.

Keywords : Currículo; artes visuales; desarrollo artístico; profesorado; Curriculum; visual arts; artistic development; teachers.
