"We succeeded to prove the statement “Art is good for you”. At the LTTAs we met groups of people (both students and teachers) consciously using this approach of art education. We achieved that the participants could respect artistic education. They learned upon revealing the similarities and differences between the methodologies and educational methods seen at the partner schools.We could see that art plays a special role in our life and it is important to ensure that talent could be identified and receive support, as it is an opportunity to develop, to be proud, to be happy and to live a more meaningful life. During the lifetime of the partnership, we regarded art as an essential component of the development of children, as they have direct impacts on basic and transversal competences. The implementing educational institutions were different in terms of many aspects; they teach children of different age groups, in diverse institution structures and sizes, in different cultural media, and with different methodological tools. All these institutions consider artistic education as their main profiles; and was completely proved that the statements mentioned above are true.It was also shown undoubtedly that art education can lower the high dropout rates as most students find a meaningful purpose to stay at school since it provides a useful and interesting way to spend their free time.We realised that the access to an education based on the full expression through art cannot longer depend on parents’ or family’s income. The purpose of art education in general should be to create happy human beings, capable of expressing themselves successfully and productively. Our project activities were based on this aim and proved its truth. We could see the children being happy and smiling during the programs: rehearsals, performances and any other activities. The participants used their imagination to show their emotions easily and confidently.Art as a means of self-expression gives a sense of belonging somewhere and closes the gap between children who normally are not exposed to artistic experiences outside school and their more fortunate and privileged friends.Each of the institutions hosted a professional meeting where practical learning was accomplished, which is essential from the aspect of artistic education methodology. Within the partnership, we specified together the relevant topics within artistic education and allocated these topics to the individual institutions according to their strengths. The originally two-year -, later three-year project explored the relationship and function of ART in school life through creative activities, performances, cooperative learning activities that had been designed to introduce students to art, dance, theatre, music.We proved the POWER of art as the citation says:""The Arts are an essential part of public education. From dance and music to theatre and the visual arts, the arts give children a unique means of expression, capturing their passions and emotions, and allowing them to explore new ideas, subject matter, and cultures. They bring us joy in every aspect of our lives. […..] Arts education not only enhances students' understanding of the world around them, but it also broadens their perspective on traditional academics. The arts give us the creativity to express ourselves, while challenging our intellect. The arts integrate life and learning for all students and are integral in the development of the whole person""- Dr. Terry Bergeson.His words do express the motivation of our project."
