Project on Integrating Art into School Life
It is aimed to expand art education in Ho Chi Minh City schools and adopt it as a method of human education.
In an interview with Dr. Trinh Dang Khoa, Vice Rector of the Ho Chi Minh City University of Culture, it was emphasized that art in schools is not merely an entertainment or skill lesson, but a comprehensive method of human education.
Current State of Art Education
Considering the current limitations of art education in Ho Chi Minh City schools, new approaches are being evaluated by experts.
Despite the city's dynamic cultural life, it is noted that art education in schools remains limited.
Art as a Method of Human Education
Dr. Trinh Dang Khoa states that art is not just a lesson aimed at imparting certain skills.
Art education is a method that develops young people's ability to perceive beauty, build empathy, and embrace cultural values.
Transformation into a Continuous Educational Process
The project's core approach is to transform art education from a one-time performance model into a continuous process.
Students become active participants by going through the stages of recognition, appreciation, understanding, and creation.
Cultural Ecosystem Perspective
Ho Chi Minh City's rich cultural and artistic resources are being directly integrated with schools.
While artists and artisans organize workshops in schools, students also visit historical and cultural sites.
