Description
This conference paper discusses research aimed at integrating performance art practices into art education in public space. The project then allows students to explore the work of prominent performance artists and gradually develop their own creative approaches, using their bodies to interact with landscape and architecture, to express the artists' visceral experiences and to reflect on global narratives and current social issues. However, this aspect is often overlooked in art education, and teaching tends to focus only on the creation of artefacts, especially in the lower grades. But it is the integration of performative elements into the curriculum that can help students express themselves, foster their self-awareness and their ability to navigate contemporary society. The study highlights the potential of expressive performance and self-experiential learning for pedagogical practice.
