Theoreticians of different periods and different parts of the world found a common ground in acknowledging that the human is a creative being. Because of this he can oppose destruction; he can progress, create and invent. This is a key reason why creativity in schools should get a lot of support as it is important for the developement of every individual as well as its society. Creativity however does not work on demand. One of many ways to awaken it in children and adolescents is with introducing art itself in school classes. Some arts offer more space for that than others. Thus, in this Master thesis we will research the introducing of theatre art in the subjects of foreign languages, mostly French. Significant in subjects such as theatre is creativeness with words and performing with the whole body. Beside that, theatre activity and learning a foreign language have many other things in common. Theatre activity should positively influence the development of linguistic competences and at the same time it should offer a long list of positive effects on education in sense of raising up. Both is studied in detail in this Master thesis. Even though Slovenia is slightly behind in researching and introducing arts in school when compared to the Netherlands, United Kingdom or the USA, interest in this field is increasing. It is not evident if the reason for this interest comes from the researches who proved all the qualities that arts bring to the development of a human being, or if it could come from a fear of art disappearing from schools. This Master thesis will try to explore and comprehend this field we are entering and offer new questions and answers as well in the not yet completely researched relationship between field of theatre art and education in schools. The meaning of this contribution is to grow, as arts encourage creativity and they positively influence a learners' understanding of the themselves and the world. It also influences their expressing, valuing, cooperating, the sense for aesthetics, motivation, personal growth and even physical progress. Next to that it can also have a powerful role on learning a foreign language as with help of art, especially theatre art, students can develop their rhetorics, memory, the settling into a language and into the role of a native speaker, and they can also appear more motivated for learning this foreign language. We will try to confirm all these presumptions that indicate that artistic activites in school awaken several positive effects by observing a group of secondary school pupils during their preparation of a short theatre performance in French and with interviews of four students, two professors and one artist that were preparing the theatre play
