Summary/Abstract: Every child has a creative potential. Every child can and should feel like an artist. Fine art is a favorite subject of students, but with each stage of education they lose the desire to create. This article raises the question of whether through art classes the requirements of teenagers for knowledge can be met, whether those can respond to their desire of learning something unfamiliar, different and spiritual in the modern world which has been overtaken and influenced by the domination of the material values. The supported thesis is about how contemporary art can be taught in a way that becomes understandable and easy for students so they could recognize it as their own. The author presents her vision for achieving this goal, which has been also successfully assessed throughout a variety of middle class graduates. The work justifies the effectiveness of an approach in which art history is taught in reverse chronology, back and forth - starting from the concepts and works of contemporary artists and gradually moving to the art in the past. This overlap of the current, the visible and the recognition on the past, the invisible, will make the transition from the familiar to the unknown much easier for the student.
