Artistic and Aesthetic Education in General Secondary Schools in the Lublin Region During the Interwar Period

Abstract

Drawing lessons were the foundation of artistic education and at the same time a form of aesthetic education for students attending general secondary schools in interwar Poland. Drawing as a school subject played a prominent role in educating young people, both due to its practical applications and educational value, enriching one’s personality and sensitizing one to the aesthetics of everyday life. The subject was included in general secondary school curricula both after Poland regained independence in 1918 and in the wake of the Jędrzejewicz reform in 1932. Artistic and aesthetic education was pursued in all types of general schools in the Lublin region. Surviving archival materials (curricula, school authority reports, artworks from 1918–1939, etc.) haves allowed the author to reconstruct the place and role of drawing in secondary education in the Lublin region.
