The article examines the role of the visual arts as a means of developing multiple intelligences, based on Howard Gardner’s theory.
The aim of the study is to identify and substantiate the mechanisms through which visual arts influence the development of various types of intelligence within modern educational and cultural contexts.
Research methods include theoretical literature analysis, comparative analysis of artistic practices, and empirical methods such as observation and surveys.
The results indicate that engagement with visual arts fosters the development of visual-spatial, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and kinesthetic intelligence, activating cognitive and emotional processes.
The conclusions highlight the necessity of integrating artistic activities into educational programs to ensure holistic personal development, as well as the significance of art as a factor in sociocultural adaptation.
