Course objectives
The first of three free-going seminars examines how art education affects human ability to act. On the basis of reading suggestions, students are looking for didactic forms that could enhance "activist attitudes" to the world in art education. Texts confront aesthetic approaches with the concepts of social sciences and philosophy, with central polarity being dichotomy: benefit-value. The seminar also develops the public presentation (1 reading from the reading). The aim of the course is to show art education as a form of pedagogical work, which also opens up to a different concept of negotiation than purposeful rational action. The course aims to show the crucial role of value-oriented attitudes in all spheres of activity (including science and technology). It seeks didactic forms of art education that would enhance the availability of public speaking - creative and playful, "out of use", but meaningful, creative and courageous.
Learning outcomes
1) The student knows the basic concepts and concepts of (different) approaches to the research question, both aesthetic and sociological. 2) The student can apply this knowledge to specific artistic expressions as well as pedagogical material. 3) The student is able to take his or her own, experienced and thoughtful opinion on the subject and to argue in his favor.
