Abstract
The paper presents the immersive method in art classes in elementary school. The general scheme of this method of the artistic and pedagogical processes is easily applicable to all levels of education and all systems. The immersive method is based on the students’ understanding of the idea of works of art and adopting the modes of creating ideas and their expression in a visual form. It shifts the accent from adopting and illustrating formal language in traditional classes to connecting language of the students' everyday visual new media environment. This is closely related to the strategies of contemporary new media art, with adoption of clearly defined stages in the creative process and art-related terminology. The method uses transfer in teaching, therapeutic aspect of the art and 'flow state' or the aesthetic experience. In accordance with the meaning of the word 'immersion', this method teaches the understanding of art, ideas, contexts and relationships as a whole. In a critical manner, the adopted matter is applied to the student's own environment through analysis, aesthetic interventions, and social engagement based on an environmentally and socially conscious manner. Such an approach to teaching encourages intrinsic motivation in students and has a strong educational aspect, which indicates the effectiveness of this method.
