Art and Heritage Culture: A High-Quality Inclusive Educational Experience in One Public School in Barcelona

Abstract

The goal of this study is to see how a joint art project between a museum and a public school affects the process of inclusion and involvement of Chinese students. This mixed-method study is based on a questionnaire as a pilot test, then following nine months of observing Art-Based Project (ABP) activities at the school and museum, as well as interviews with children. The Tandem Project, which employs the arts education model developed by the school and the museum ABP, as well as the Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS) included in this art project, have a positive impact on those aspects of Chinese children: heritage culture expression, participation in school activities, and interpersonal intelligence.
