Art Education Based on Edutainment of Creating Joyful Instruction

Abstract

Many arts teachers still use the conventional methods in their instruction and what they do is repeating what their teachers did to them in the past, and will it be an effective teaching?. Teaching in the 21st century needs different ways for teaching different students, otherwise students may see teaching as something rigid and boring and they are fear for doing wrong. This condition will hinder them to be creative and skillful and to feel joyful in learning art. Moreover, there are still many art teachers who do not have background in art education, but they teach art education at schools. Therefore, this condition needs a creative way to make the art functions as part of education to develop the whole parts of students’ brain, not only the logical part, and this can be started from elementary school. One of the creative ways is edutainment. Edutainment combines education and entertainment to create joyful learning. The joyful learning can be an instruction that uses methods or material which attract students to learn, for example using games to deliver the instruction.
