Abstract

This article studies the self-perceived artistic competence (the confidence in one's own artistic abilities) of a group of primary and secondary school students in relation to their visual understanding and in relation to their academic achievement in Art Education. Two aims were established: first, to identify the areas which previous research defines for the visual understanding (social, historical, aesthetic, pedagogic and biographical understanding) and the four consecutive levels of complexity for every area (naive, novice, apprentice and master). The second aim is to analyze artistic understanding and academic achievement in art education class. The two initial hypotheses established assume a significant positive relationship between artistic understanding and, firstly, the subjects' age and gender and, secondly, with their self-perceived artistic competence and their academic achievement in Art Education. These hypotheses partially confirmed previous research and were further clari!ed by the results. The visual understanding is better among the girls and it increases with the age until the students are 15 years old. Then the differences between this age group and the other age groups become non-significant. Self-perceived artistic competence in the classroom and the academic achievement (the grade obtained in Art and Visual Education at the school) rise according to the visual understanding.
