<![CDATA[The development of art education in Indonesia has a long history, including during the early period of Indonesian independence. This research aims to analyze the development of art education during the early years of independence from 1945 to 1950. One of the methods used in this research is qualitative research with a historical approach, which involves five stages: topic selection, heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography.

During this period, art education not only shaped a generation of creative artists but also explored Indonesia's rich cultural roots and used them as a source of inspiration. In the early years of independence, there were not many formal educational institutions established, but the rapid development of art significantly influenced the formation of art education institutions in Indonesia. Therefore, art organizations and art exhibitions played a crucial role in nurturing the creativity of artists.]]>
