Arts Education and the Issues of Production of the Image

Abstract

Abstract

Art education has expanded dramatically (outside the traditional framework of art) with image production, especially with the emergence of a new age of visual communication in the seventies of the last century. Also the producers of visual communications are famous compared with the producers of art works through production and using the image in the new media, which has a great contribution in the building of awareness among the members of the community.  This study aims to publicize the importance of image and its role in art education in general and particularly in schools.

Gunther  Otto in 1974 was famous for his methods of teaching aesthetic education. On one hand, he focused on a method of education through the image, and on the other hand, the art education through the mass media. That means the image is an Art work, or aimed to be an Art.  So that art education has evolved to carry many of the various terms of the image, which can be included in the art lessons in school as a subject for teaching. Since that time, art education at school became open to everything that is visual, sensory, or tactile. This includes all creative products and processes.  So that Plastic Art in the School must  have a center of gravity in the learning- teaching process( 1974,Otto, Gunter
