But understanding art also means to be able to place a work of art within its historic and social context: the world in which it was created, its influences, be it artistic, political, economical or so on. Finally, understanding art means understanding the artist as well: while it would be difficult to comprehend the art of Frida Kahlo out of the context of the Mexican Revolution, that context would be insufficient if we are not familiar as well with her life, her pains, her passions and dilemmas. Programmes loaded with recreational experiences, creative work, context sensitive activities, discovery of sounds and colors, textures and harmonies that could then be used by students to communicate ideas and emotions through their artistic creations.
