Sažetak
The contents of art history in Croatian grammar schools had initially been included
within the Drawing subject. From the mid-20th century, they were combined with
the contents from history. From 1960, both Visual Arts and Music had been equal
components within the Art course, but in 1994 it formally became a full independent
subject in grammar schools. The last educational reform generated a new subject
curriculum in 2019 that completely reorganized the subject and brought it closer
to contemporary educational principles. In vocational schools during the 1960s,
however, a large number of teaching programs contained contents implemented
from visual arts as a part of Croato-Serbian Language and Literature course,
together with the basics of aesthetic education. However, they were left out in the
later programs from most schools during the 1990s, which happened again in the
most recent educational documents that were issued in the last several years. The
aim of this paper is to discuss the position and specific qualities of Visual Arts
subject or topics from the field of visual arts (art history), as well as the changes this
subject has underwent during various educational reforms, by means of analysing
the teaching programs of grammar and vocational schools in Croatia from the mid-
20th century to the present day.
