Developing Guidelines for the Future of Visual Art Education: A Delphi Study of the Croatian Case

Abstract

The qualitative research examined how the Delphi method could be used to develop guidelines for the future of Visual Arts education in Croatia. The study gathered insights from eight experts across various disciplines, including art history, art pedagogy, visual culture, and curriculum theory, to assess the impact of visual culture on Visual Arts education. The experts discussed changes in teaching methods, the influence of visual culture on young people, its effect on curricula, the relationship between fine art and visual culture, and the importance of an interdisciplinary approach. The findings suggest that this methodology could serve as a model for future educational policy reforms and for innovating and creating new Visual Arts curricula.
