Concept and Significance of Social Engaged Arts Education: Engaged Arts Education as Expanded Art

The purpose of this paper is to examine the concept of participation that appears in modern cultural arts education and to examine the understanding and significance of arts education by relating this concept to solving social problems. In this study, we looked into what artistic elements are important in participatory art education. Looking at Joseph Beuys's view of art and the characteristics of socially engaged art from a cross-pedagogical perspective, it was emphasized that this series of processes in modern art is ultimately a dialogic and educational performance that recognizes others. It is predicted that the flexible expansion of these creative activities and trans-pedagogical understanding of the arts will be the significance of participatory arts education in terms of problem solving in the future.
