Abstract
There are different approaches to the teaching of art education. And they have their own characteristics. Basically there is a conceived idea, its form of expression, planning and execution and from these to appreciation and evaluation. But todays' art does not necessary face into the well known categories of painting, design, sculture and others. It presupposes them. When offering and directing the students in the use of concrete materials and techniques there appears a big difference of interest between those students who had some experience before and those who didn't. This paper presents the results of a research into the actual use of some teaching materials.
