| dc.description.abstract | Abstract
This research seeks to find out how art as a subject is treated in Ugandan secondary schools,
what attention the government and schools give to art as a subject and the students’ views
about art, why they hold whatever views about Fine art.
The study of fine art in Ugandan schools is motivated by various reasons, ranging from the
love of the subject, to having it done because it is mandatory on school’s curriculum. This
study sought to find out the status of fine art in Ugandan secondary schools, in comparison to
other subjects. I work on the premise that little attention has not only been paid to research on
the teaching of fine art, but contemporary scholarly work on fine art indicates that the subject is
usually offered by a few number of students as compared to other subjects.
The research discusses the education system in Uganda, and goes ahead to highlight the fine art
syllabus. The research explores, on the basis of a set of research questions, to what extent
Uganda’s education system has supported the teaching of fine art in secondary schools. The
quantitative and qualitative research methods have been applied in this research for data
collection and analysis. Finally the thesis discusses the possible recommendations to some of
the outcomes of the study. | no_NO |
