Abstract:
"Valorization of local architectural monuments and buildings of high interest within extracurricular artistic education" highlights the importance of heritage education as a means of aesthetic, cultural and civic training of students. Within extracurricular artistic activities, local monuments and buildings become living sources of inspiration, their study contributing to the development of visual sensitivity, the spirit of observation and respect for cultural values. Through drawing, painting, photography, modeling or interdisciplinary projects, students are encouraged to rediscover traditional and modern architecture, to analyze its style, symbolism and role in the community. This approach promotes a direct connection between art and the local cultural environment, stimulating the involvement of young people in the protection and reinterpretation of heritage. Thus, the valorization of monuments becomes a complex educational tool, uniting knowledge, creativity and cultural identity.
