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

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