In response to the recent political decision in Sweden in 2023 to reduce the allocation of hours for visual art education in Swedish Schools Högstadiet (grade 7-9), this study is motivated by a commitment to substantiate our stance against this policy through scientific rationale. This paper undertakes a literature review to explore the significance of visual arts within the evolving landscape of educational curricula. Focusing on the domain of teaching and education, our main objective is to investigate the positive impact visual art education provides. The approach employed involves an analysis of existing studies and research findings related to art and art education. The findings of this study highlight the multifaceted benefits of visual art education in schools. By thoughtfully combining various scholarly insights, this investigation asserts that art education bestows a range of favorable outcomes upon students, equipping them with essential tools to navigate the expanding visual environment in both current and future societal contexts.
