Arts Education

Japanese: 芸術教育 - げいじゅつきょういく

Education that aims to develop people by enhancing the ability for artistic expression and recognition through the senses (eyes, hands, mouth, body, etc.) and the mind, and cultivating emotions. There is instruction to develop skills and abilities in each artistic field (painting, music, crafts, literature, essay writing, drama, physical education, etc.), and instruction to develop people through the functions of art. These two are related to each other, but the former is "art education," which teaches art subjects in the educational curriculum, and the latter is the idea of "education through art," which places art at the foundation of the educational curriculum.

Japanese:

芸術的表現と認識の能力を目や手，口，身体などの感覚器官と心を通して高め，感情の陶冶をはかることによって人間形成をめざす教育。絵画，音楽，工作，文学，作文，演劇，体育などの各芸術分野での技術や能力を伸ばす指導と，芸術のもつ機能によって人間形成をはかる指導とがある。この二つは相互に関連しているが，前者は教育課程において芸術教科を教える〈芸術の教育〉になり，後者は教育課程の基礎に芸術を位置づける〈芸術による教育education through art〉の考えになる。
