Basic art education is primarily art education intended for children and young people, given in free time in local art schools. The teaching is goal-oriented, tied to the national curriculum and given by professionals trained in the field.
Basic education in art gives the student a wide range of abilities to express himself and strengths to apply for professional and higher education in the art field. Teaching is divided into a general and a broad curriculum. The studies of the extensive curriculum include 1300 teaching hours and the general curriculum 500 teaching hours. More information on Oph’s website.
In Loimaa, it is possible to study a broad curriculum in music and dance at the Loimaa Music and Dance Academy, as well as general curriculum studies in fine arts at the Visual Arts School in Kulta and theater arts studies at Teatterikoulu LoiSTe, which operate under the auspices of the Workers’ College.
