Abstract

The main purpose of this conceptual paper is to place selected areas of art education in parallel with  educational transition. Thus, transition is associated with aesthetic behaviour and aesthet-ic biography, two
notions that may represent two fundamental approaches to art education coined in German / Austrian / Swiss art education theory in recent decades. Both appear to be promising in regard to their potential linkage with transitional education. The study proposes a development in art education that includes and stresses an awareness of transitions; thus, we believe, art education holds great potential to contribute to successful educational transitions throughout early childhood education, kindergarten, school, university and the early phases of professionalization.
