With today's expanding communication opportunities, new forms of visual art have emerged and a language of visual art has developed, which makes it necessary to examine the teaching methods for fostering art school students' understanding of art. This publication deals with the problem of art pedagogy – how to promote art school students‟ understanding of art in a contemporary way; accordingly, the aim of this article is to reveal pedagogical opportunities for promoting the understanding of art. The educators in Balvi Art School since 1996 have been involved in the development of the curriculum of the subject „Fundamentals of the Language of Art‟, in order to promote the understanding of art in the interaction between the history of culture, art history and the practical creative process. Studying the subject „Fundamentals of the Language of Art‟ is one of the prerequisites of the development of an understanding of art. The topicality of the research is reinforced by the fact that teachers should endeavor to compare and understand the teaching of art in order to select the most suitable didactic approach, methods and forms of work adapted to the nowadays pedagogical reality.

Historical Past

We often assume that works of visual art are meant to be seen. Yet that assumption may be a modern prejudice. The ancient world - from China to Greece, Rome to Mexico - provides many examples of statues, paintings, and other images that were not intended to be visible. Instead of being displayed, they were hidden, buried, or otherwise obscured. In this third volume in the Visual Conversations in Art & Archaeology series, leading scholars working at the intersection of archaeology and the history of art address the fundamental question of art's visibility. What conditions must be met, what has to be in place, for a work of art to be seen at all? The answer is both historical and methodological; it concerns ancient societies and modern disciplines, and encompasses material circumstances, perceptual capacities, technologies of visualization, protocols of classification, and a great deal more. The emerging field of archaeological art history is uniquely suited to address such questions. Intrinsically comparative, this approach cuts across traditional ethnic, religious, and chronological categories to confront the academic present with the historical past. The goal is to produce a new art history that is at once cosmopolitan in method and global in scope, and in doing so establish new ways of seeing - new conditions of visibility - for shared objects of study.

Object Of Study

This article derives from the master’s research in which it seeks to understand what uses the teenagers of this generation, known as millennials (or digital natives), are giving to their smartphones in a given Portuguese school context. Bearing in mind that our young people (as well as adults) spend a large part of their time “clinging” to small electronic devices, the present investigation looks at this problem as an opportunity to produce artistic content through a didactic use. At the same time, it helps young “producer / consumer” students to recognize themselves in the production of subjectivity inherent in certain work proposals carried out within the scope of the History of Culture and Arts. Starting from the concepts inherent to the disciplines of Artistic Education and the selection and study of a work of art, and having self-representation as the object of study, the student (re) creates (the work selected by himself) through the use of the smartphone, mobilizing skills transversal (technical, aesthetic and methodological) in a process that wants to be creative. In the creative process several aspects are contemplated that can, and should, be deepened, namely the question of time. The time we live in is an unexpected time! Time of seclusion, distance, confinement! We seek to ask whether the current context of confinement can provide an opportunity to reflect on the didactic use of the smartphone to produce artistic content while maintaining the principles of equality and equity.

<p><span>There is widespread agreement among my fellow colleagues who teach Geology that the History of our planet is a tough topic for teenagers. Unfortunately, not only is the subject considered boring but also useless by the majority of our school students.</span></p><p><span>Our experience teaching these contents in a traditional way has shown us that pupils vaguely remember anything. In order to give a different approach to this issue and, therefore, to promote meaningful learning, we have designed a project where students must be fully engaged.</span></p><p><span>First, the class was organized in cooperative learning groups, so they had to collaborate to complete the task. Then, they started the research period using laptop computers available in the school. Students now dealt with specific vocabulary such as the geologic time scale terms but also a variety of events that occurred from the very first moments, from the formation of the Earth itself to the development of the big reptiles that have always fascinated children and adults, especially their dramatic extinction.</span></p><p> <span><span>Once the topic was developed in detail, they were required to make a poster on scale with the information collected. It was undeniable that pictures or photographs must cover most of the poster as long as short sentences describing both biological and geological phenomena. What we were also concerned about their learning was to improve their creativity. Because of this, they were encouraged to make their own drawings.</span></span></p><p><span>Students really liked the activity, built stronger relationships between them and the final products were so amazing that were exhibited in the walls of the hallways outside their classroom.</span></p><p><span>All these events have been recorded in the rocks so geologists could unfold part of the mysteries of our History.

The subject of this research is the distinctions between two fundamental trends in art of the XX century – art deco and avant-garde, as well as determination of the nature of their interaction. The object of this research is the original texts of artisans and art monuments belonging to both fields. Special attention is given to characteristics of the specific features of art deco and avant-garde, identification of similarities and differences of the two simultaneously developing stylistic concepts. The author examines the key event for the history of interaction of these two trends, namely the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts held in Paris in 1925, and criticism that formed views on art of the era of modernism. The scientific novelty consists in examination of the two paramount trends for grasping history of culture of the XX century in the context of their interaction. Since 1966, art deco was not recognized as an in dependent style, but rather closely connected with modernism and patterned on avant-garde. The main conclusion of the conducted research consists in revelation of adaptive cultural mechanism that allowed art deco to overcome a number of problems, among which in underlines the relation to technological progress and mass society. The author highlights that both trends should be viewed in the context of cultural dialogue. First and foremost, they were united by orientation towards modernity and development of innovative language of art.

Different views have long been expressed about poetry, its essence and purpose. Poetry and the environment, together, are constantly changing and being influenced by each other. Poetry as a social necessity has always been a tool to promote worldly and spiritual purposes. Nasser Khosrow and Sanai, bipolar poets whose dark thoughts and ideas could not be found in the dark pole of their poetry and thought, and as a result of their inner intellectual and revolutionary awakening, marked a turning point in the history of culture and literature of this rich border. They figured out and made the poem, which they had previously employed in their worldly needs and lowly interests, as a means of spreading morality and religion, and they were epoch-making. Regardless of some of the intellectual contradictions that result from going through different mental states, their poetry has been a mirror of their society's pain and aspirations. This study, while explaining the characteristics of good and committed poetry and its mission, deals with the subject of intellectual awakening, its causes and contexts in the poetry and thought of these two poets, and examines the effect of this awakening on their intellectual orientation, whether it is possible between dark and light poles. Their thought was absolutely different, or this demarcation - in terms of their intellectual contradictions - is merely the result of views based on prejudice, absolutism and sanctification.

The importance of the labyrinth and the mirror in the history of culture has never ceased. This article reflects on what they agree on and what can be learned from them. The effort to determine where these myths converge brings me to the theme of the monster, which, however, is not always the same. In the article I point out the differences: the Minotaur represents power and is born alongside the labyrinth; the mirror monster, on the other hand, is inside the subject, and it is also an outer voice — an alter ego. Ethical consequences can be drawn from these observations.

The purpose of the article consists of exploring visual arts in the context of Renaissance discourse as a form of individualization of collective experience. The methodology consists of the application of analytical method – to determine the theoretical and methodological foundations of the study of visual art as a form of individualization of collective experience in the works of the Renaissance theorists: Alberti, G. Vasari, Marsilio Ficino, Lorenzo Valla, Pietro Pomponazzi; Renaissance artists – Giotto, Masaccio, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael Santi, Titian; formalization method – to clarify visual art within the subject field of art history in the context of the culture of the Renaissance; method of comparative studies – for analyzing approaches to understanding the visual art as a form of individualization of collective experience. The scientific novelty of the work is that for the first time the essence of visual art is a form of individualization of collective experience in the context of the Renaissance discourse. Conclusions. The article explores visual art in the context of the Renaissance discourse as a form of individualization of collective experience. Clarified the meaning of the concept of visual art and painting in the framework of the subject field of art history (concepts of A. Gabrichevsky, M. Kagan, V. Vlasov, A. Hildebrand). In the socio-cultural development of the Renaissance, there is an intensive process of individualization of the artist, and there is also a tendency to intensively turn to samples of ancient art, which testifies to the visual art as the brightest form of individualization of collective experience. In the context of comparative analysis, the concepts of Cennino D'Andrea Cennini, G. Vasari, Alberti, Lorenzo Ghiberti, Filarete, Piero Della Francesco, Leonardo da Vinci, Jean Peleren, Albrecht Dürer, Pietro Aretino, who described all the advantages of painting based on color, are considered; the Venetian artist Paolo Pino, author of Dialogue on Painting; Lodovico Dolci, author of Dialogue on Painting; the Tuscan writer A. Doni, who in his dialogue "About drawing" explained the priority of the Florentine tradition, in which the emphasis was on drawing, and not on coloring. Key words: visual art, renaissance, painting, collective experience, individualization

This paper examines an important moment in the recent history of UK art education by examining the magazine Block, a radical and interdisciplinary publication produced from within the art history department of an art school in the late 1970s and 1980s. Block was created and edited by a small group of lecturers at Middlesex Polytechnic, most of whom were art school educated; it was formed by, and in turn influenced, the milieu of studio-based art education in the UK. Despite the small scale of its operation, the magazine had a wide distribution in art colleges and was avidly read by lecturers looking for ways to incorporate new theoretical, often Marxist, feminist, poststructuralist, perspectives into their teaching.
