Abstract:

Where is art education heading? How will the revision of the curriculum affect the future of art education? The new curriculum expands the subject to include film education, alongside traditional techniques, and incorporates work with digital technologies and potentially artificial intelligence. However, these innovations face significant challenges: insufficient funding, inadequate technical equipment, and a lack of qualified teachers.

Thus, the authors of this paper question not only the future of art education in primary schools but also the readiness of universities to equip their graduates with the necessary knowledge and skills. Who, then, will be able to teach this innovative subject and ensure its continued development?
