PT - JOURNAL ARTICLE AU - PolĂ­nek, Martin Dominik TI - Inclusive basic art education and its expressive-formative potential for the pupils' development with special educational needs DP - 2012 Dec 11 TA - Journal of Exceptional People PG - 57--67 VI - 1 IP - 2 IS - 18054978 AB - Basic art education has an important, conventional place in our school system. Questions: Should the art education be understood as an integral part of the school system or is it just a free-time activity are rather out of questions. What are the conditions of integration at ZUS schools in comparison with conventional schools? - This question was studied by us within the investigation survey in autumn 2010. However, a more significant question suggests itself: Is it necessary at all to prepare inclusive conditions in such specified education type as the basic art education is? What above-standard benefit is represented by ZUS schools for pupils with specific education needs? Is the integration in conditions of basic art education possible at all? We are going to answer these questions in further text.
