The Art Subject in Thailand : A study about the role of the art subject in some schools in Thailand

<p>Historically the art subject has never had a main role in the school education.</p><p>The main subjects in Sweden have been mathematics, Swedish and English, even if the other</p><p>subjects also have been important. Unfortunately the subject of art has been considered less</p><p>important. For a long time the art subject has been a subject that only teaches the students how to</p><p>paint in different ways, but lately it has been noticed that the art subject has more qualities, for</p><p>example concerning personal expressions. Now we can confirm that the art subject does have an</p><p>important role in the school world, but how big a role?</p><p>With the help from interviews and literature studies, this essay wants to show if this ideology</p><p>and knowledge already has been used in other countries, in this case Thailand. Through my</p><p>interviews and examinations I could confirm that the responders consider the art subject important</p><p>for the students’ creative thoughts and personal development. The question is: is this only an</p><p>opinion or is it something that has already been used? My practise in the Thai schools has therefore</p><p>been useful for me in this essay, since I could closely study the art subject, and see everything with</p><p>my own eyes.</p><p>_____________</p>
