BEC: Art and Art Education
Arts and Cultural Education aims at the acquisition of a common culture, shared, rich diversity, in its heritage forms, contemporary but also popular as scholars.
In order to contribute to the formation and emancipation of individuals and citizens, in order to develop sensitivity, creativity and critical thinking, arts and cultural education (EAC) provokes the aesthetic experience (experienced through contact with works), the artistic experience (accomplished in the creation of a work, of a form, with its specific language), the critical experience (developed in critical distance, feedback on experience, linking with other fields of culture and knowledge) in all times of life, especially at the time of individual construction.
