Abstract

This paper discusses the modernization of the school subject Fine/Visual Arts and the affirmation of visual arts within the educational system of grammar schools. It is extremely important that contemporary artistic theories and practices of Fine/Visual Arts be present in grammar school curricula, particularly in school curricula in general, social and natural science studies, as well as in philology grammar schools in order to form a different perception of visual information of the modern day technologies. The context of development, expansion, and transposition of theory and practice of contemporary creative work reflects the necessity to change the formal name of the school subject Fine Arts to Visual Arts. Nowadays, it is necessary to harmonize the teaching units within the global syllabi in order to preserve and nurture the traditional artistic values and to accept the new tendencies in contemporary visual language. The key to the effective teaching and instruction lies in carefully designed operational plans, which is the responsibility of Fine/Visual Arts teachers. Operational plans need to show clearly the relation between art theory, history of art, contemporary art theory and practice in order to provide students with a clear insight into areas of Fine/Visual Arts, especially in the context of the century we live in.
