A project titled "The Impact of the Montessori Method on the Quality of Art Education," by Dr. Mirjana Batinić, was awarded a grant through The Arts Education Scheme by Arts Council Malta. The project is based on practical and theoretical research conducted with primary school learners at Casa Maria Montessori.
Through this project, students had the opportunity to explore various art techniques using different media. The lessons traced the development of art in Malta across different historical periods, from the Neolithic age to Contemporary art, covering Prehistory, Antiquity (Phoenician, Rome), Middle Eastern Art (Islamic), Mediaeval Art (Byzantine), Renaissance, Baroque, Modern Art, and Contemporary Art.
In order to enrich their learning experiences, the learners visited numerous museums and galleries, aiming to gain new knowledge, spark creativity and imagination, and broaden their horizons.
The theoretical aspect of the project involved research based on practical experience, incorporating learners' artwork and several interviews with experts from related fields. These findings have been compiled and published as a book.
Ultimately, the project was presented through an exhibition showcasing the learners’ artwork.
This project has received support from the Arts Council Malta.
