Description of the Project
Art education in general, and the visual arts in particular, is part of the humanistic culture necessary for the development and social integration of students and young people of all countries. Often, even if included in the official program, this course is sacrificed or devalued in favor of lessons judged more necessary or more important as learning mother and foreign languages, as well as science and mathematics.

- Recognize and distinguish various types of artwork;
- Identify and describe visual works previously studied, to express emotions, preferences...
