Abstract:
Contemporary education increasingly recognizes the importance of interdisciplinarity as a basis for the development of competencies that go beyond the framework of individual subjects. This paper explores the theoretical foundations, methodological models and pedagogical values ??of an interdisciplinary approach to teaching art. Starting from constructivist and humanistic educational theories, it examines ways in which art can be functionally integrated with other subjects in order to improve experiential learning, creative thinking and emotional development of students. Special emphasis is placed on thematic, project, horizontal and transdisciplinary integration, as well as the STEAM model that includes art in scientific and technical fields. The analysis of pedagogical effects shows that such approaches contribute to the development of inclusive, motivating and meaningfully structured teaching, empowering students for independent and critical thinking. It is concluded that art, when viewed interdisciplinary, becomes a key component of education aimed at the comprehensive development of the personality and preparation for life in a complex social context.
