Cultivating Creativity and Cultural Awareness: A Case Study of Integrated Art Education in Primary Schools

Abstract

This paper presents a detailed case study of an integrated art education project in a primary school, aiming to explore how such an approach can effectively cultivate students' creativity and cultural awareness. By combining visual arts, music, and dance within a unified curriculum framework themed around local cultural heritage, the project provided students with a rich and immersive learning experience. Through qualitative and quantitative research methods, including classroom observations, student interviews, and pre - and post - project assessments, the positive impacts of integrated art education on students' artistic skills, creative thinking, and cultural understanding are demonstrated. Practical implications and suggestions for future art education practices are also discussed.
