People studying to become primary school teachers are expected to teach the subject Art in their future pedagogical carrier, but they are often unprepared for communicating with the visual arts. They don’t have former knowledge in this area. That is why the aims of this article are connected to presenting the real “picture” of their level of perception when in touch with pieces of art in a museum environment. The stages of understanding, perceiving and free usage of the Art terminology are being tracked.
Two aspects are concerned in theoretical plan: Ideas of some of the greatest Art theoreticians concerning the stages of development of the visual perceptions, viewed from artistic, psychological and pedagogical point of view. How students can assimilate and apply them in direct communication with visual arts. The article marks the meaning, role and place of Art galleries and museums in the pedagogical process of future and current teachers and art pedagogues.
On empirical level this article systematizes the problems connected with the methodology of Fine Arts education, and more specifically with this part, related to the application of their knowledge of theory, art history and interpretation of pieces of art. Based on this pedagogical analysis the article makes some important conclusions for the level of competence and abilities to assimilate objects connected to the visual arts.
