Abstract:

Introduction: External and non-formal settings play an important role in the practice of visual education. I would like to present the practical implementation of a collaboration between Avasi High School and Miskolc Gallery. I will present the types of tasks assigned to students in the drawing class and their implementation. For students in this class, the Gallery provides a regular practical venue where they can get acquainted with contemporary artists and the varied techniques they use. The visual culture subject provides a space for exploring current issues in contemporary visual art. Students can experience the means by which contemporary forms and subject matter represent current events. They can express their ideas through the issues raised in the artworks. I plan to demonstrate this through a variety of pedagogical tools. Method: Exploring the possibilities offered by contemporary visual arts. Art education, experiential education, project method.

Conclusions: The aim is to use these exercises and methods of art education to help students who are not otherwise involved in art connect with visual arts and to enable the production of tangible outcomes and future measurements of their positive impact.
