The actuality of visual images and demand for new abilities has transformed educational workplace (NAEA, 2016; Wilson McCay, 2006). The purpose of educational systems are to provide adequate strategies for reaching knowledge and abilities to understand and to communicate with this proliferation of images transmitted through traditional and digital media.Interdisciplinary knowledge is necessary to understand values, principles of living, achievements’ in our world. The work presented analyzes of the latest scientific publications in the field. The results present conclusion that knowledge and understanding can be achieved through the process of critical engagement based on gained knowledge. Aesthetic and creativity are just as important as technical knowledge in the new world of science, economy and philosophy (Inhulzen & Reeve, 2014; Apkon, 2013), which situated visual art education in much higher place than it was in the past. Knowledge in visual art education can be achieved not only for memorizing facts, but can stimulate sophisticated cognition and understanding with creation (Eisner, 2008; Marshal, 2014; Sandel, 2006).
