What is art education?

FIF guide at the ART Adventure Tour

Art Education means different things to different people.
At FIF, we believe that art education is an opportunity to nurture people to find truth through imagination, effort, collaboration, and cultural literacy. 

FIF aims to synthesize and spread general arts education practice in the city of Hong Kong with regard to this key question - How does arts education respond to the needs of future development? Our journey of spreading art in Hong Kong continues through the currently on-going exhibition hosted by the Hong Kong Museum of Art. #MissionMuseum offers an all-rounded arts education experience throughout the stories of 40 masterpieces from the Uffizi Galleries.

Whether it's a painting, recording, sculpture, building, or some other art form, a piece of art is the result of feelings from a certain time and place in history. Even just a brief explanation of that history empowers us, as an audience, to understand and empathize with artists more.

It helps to follow experts as they explain their interpretations of art pieces, because they've spent more time with it, and likely have studied the field. Similar to how a chef takes raw ingredients and prepares food, an art expert spends time with a piece and prepares explanations so you can consume art more easily.

Naturally, different art forms will have different types of explainers. Voice guides are great for art galleries, books can be helpful for visual art. If you have a friend who's extremely knowledgeable about the art form you want to see, go with them. It makes a world of difference. Today, FIF wants to be that friend to you and your friends. We want to be able to give you that push to remind you the balance between getting context and actually feeling the art.
