Offer 1 with catalog number 1017158ANR for all students in the 2nd semester at a (A) Bachelor - preliminary level.
The unwillingness to include art as part of life is usually based on prejudices. A number of these prejudices are discussed in this course. These are framed in a history of thinking about arts education, flowing into an overview of current theories. In addition, special attention is paid to the museum as a powerful learning environment.
Practical examples and site visites are integrated to go from theory to practice. Different mediation methods are discussed, after which students themselves act as cultural mediators.

The course aims to provide insigth into contemporary visual arts as an educational medium. Arts education is conceived within a scope that transcends "artful education", a component of social-cultural work which is fairly limited. Contrarily, the central question is: what can be the educational function of contemporary art as part of the transition towards adulthood. Contemporary arts provide a good basis for having substantive conversations. The starting point for the question of what art education is is: if art is to be a "means to", it must first be understood as an end in itself. This course also departs from the various art theories that approach this in varying ways. Students are not presumed to have prior knowledge of contemporary art. As a result, they often become test subjects themselves.

Within the PRAC Practical Assignment category, the following assignments need to be completed:
If the student does not participate in one of the compulsory evaluation components (oral exam and assignment), the student cannot pass the entire course and the final grade will be reduced to a fail (maximum 7/20). To pass the course, the student must obtain at least the equivalent of 8/20 for all components. If the final grade would still be a grade of 10 or more out of 20, but for one component of the evaluation less than the equivalent of 8/20 was obtained, the final grade is reduced to the highest failing grade (i.e. 9/20).
The partial grade of at least 10/20 in the first exam period can be carried over to the second exam period of the same academic year and the student does not have to retake it.
