In the view of constructivism, the students or learners understand arts thorugh real or direct activities in arranging experiences in forms of hands-on and minds-on as well. The activities of arts involvement ( for the students ) is relatid to or attached on their sociocultural context within live which the students live since the arts experiences they have got will become a capital in order to constructthe conceptual understanding.
