Summary/Abstract: The objective of the article is presenting the advantages of combining language classes with art education at the early stage of students’ language education. The author analyses the books that make it possible to notice the possibly high value of linking the process of a foreign language acquisition with art education. Referring to neurobiological, psychological and constructivist theories, as well as to the theories of creators of art education, the author presents a full range of arguments that emphasize the advantages of such a connection. All the arguments (related to the emotional, volitional and cognitive sphere) confirm the fact that the inclusion of art classes into the process of language teaching is justified and useful for the child.
