ABSTRACT
Art is part of the human condition and contrasts sharply with people more specific needs to invent things and make discoveries through technology. Art does not function in the same way that technology has produced the microchip computer. Artistic values are less concerned with function and more associated with what they do for people in learning, civilizing and enriching capacity. In more recent times people education has been as much to do with the way they live, their relationships and judgments, as it has with their intellectual understanding. The notion of an educated person rests not solely with scientific and intellectual achievement. Education has seen as one of its main functions the development of individuality through teaching each child according to his or her particular strengths, talents or needs. Art teaching has the characteristic of giving people a free hand in a free syllabus the content of which is rarely mapped out in advance.
