USE OF ART AND EXPRESSION THROUGH ART AS A WAY TO EDUCATE AND PREPARE YOUNG PEOPLE FOR THE PROFESSIONS OF THE FUTURE

Summary/Abstract: Decision-makers in the field of education have always faced questions about the purpose of school and education. Is education meant to develop intellectual capacity, or does it have the role of developing skills and competences, of preparing the workforce for a constantly changing economy? The current discourse in education focuses on the adoption of standards, but they will matter less in a cyber world, in which, much more important will be the way of using the information. This study includes the role of art in education, focusing on how arts education could provide a way to adapt to this ever-changing environment, more energy, flexibility and confidence. Education for tomorrow does not mean limiting learning only to the assimilation of basic knowledge, through art or any other form of learning, but to how we can invest more closely and more carefully in the role that creativity can and should play in the training and preparation of young people.
