This article focuses on Craft-Art education and its effects on socio-cultural education, and education for the future. Craft art is explored as a basic human activity according to philosopher Hannah Arendt. Each of the Art fields have different positions affecting the education system.

"What are Basic Arts Education and Basic Crafts Education? The Basic Arts Education system in Finland was established by law in 1992 to support the individual’s voluntary participation in art educa- tion beyond art education at comprehensive school. The system covers nine different art fields: music, dance, theatre, literature, circus performing and visual arts (architecture, fine arts, audio-visual art and crafts)."
