Contents related to cultural heritage and contemporary artistic practices can pose challenges for students. We designed and conducted a learning activity where we meaningfully connected these contents, using the example of painted beehive panels, and presented the obtained results. In the theoretical part, we defined the specifics of cultural heritage content and contemporary artistic practices, particularly focusing on painted beehive panels. We presented the motifs of painted beehive panels and current themes related to contemporary artistic practices (with an emphasis on today's attitudes towards fellow humans). In the literature, we specifically focused on sources that serve as a bridge between cultural heritage content and contemporary artistic practices. Special attention was given to content related to the context of painted beehive panels and their particularities. In the empirical part, we presented the attitudes of students and the teacher towards cultural heritage and contemporary artistic practices in art classes in the third triad of primary school.
With eighth-grade students, we conducted an art activity focused on their responses to the challenges of contemporary themes such as gender inequality, prejudices, and stereotypes towards other races, nationalities, ages, etc. In addition to the created artworks and the students' evaluations of these works, we also held a discussion with the teacher and students about their attitudes towards cultural heritage and contemporary art.
