Shilova, O. E. Activity of UNESCO
in the Sphere of Art Education
Abstract:
The article is devoted to the activity performed by UNESCO in the sphere of art education.
The author of the article analyzes the goals of creating such a policy of UNESCO as well as particular
activities and events organized within the framework of international cooperation in the sphere of art
education. The author also studies recommendations and guidelines of UNESCO in the sphere of education
in general and art education in particular. Shilova describes UNESCO programs aimed at development
of art education and identifies why the international cooperation policy was created in the sphere
of art education. Based on the analysis of UNESCO documents, the author defines the following reasons
for creating the aforesaid policy: development of creative thinking; growth of social peace, tolerance
and mutual respect and a growing contribution to sustainable development. Shilova also emphasizes the
two functions of art education that were conceptualized in UNESCO documents: instrumental function
of art education, i.e. using art as a mean and method of teaching general disciplines, and the function of
creating the picture of the world. Based on the author, documents prepared by UNESCO to be used in the
sphere of art education have rather insignificant influence on national educational programs due to their
non-regulatory nature. At the same time, Shilova focuses on the implementation of particular projects
under the guidance of UNESCO which still turned out to be quite efficient.
