Thirteenth International Conference on The Image

Abstract

The relationship between art and sports might be evident for professional parties in society, especially in terms of art-sport images, which are represented in different forms and concepts such as movement, rhymes, harmony, aesthetics, and unity. The art-sport images can be seen easily in Olympic sports events and the different formats such as posters, sculptures, designs, paintings, and multimedia forms. Through these images, artists bring a strong relationship between art and sport, and this relationship must be introduced to educators, researchers, teachers, and students in both disciplines. This paper is a part of a funded research project currently supported by the college of education at Sultan Qaboos University in Oman. The research project investigates the perceptions of in-service art and physical education teachers towards knowledge integration between the plastic arts and school sports curricula and the challenges that impede its achievement in the Sultanate of Oman. However, in this paper, the researchers aim to investigate first the relationship between art and sports using artistic images as an approach to teaching and learning in art and physical education curricula. The researchers use descriptive-analytical as a research methodology in order to achieve the objective of this paper. Recommendations are cited accordingly to promote and support the relationship between art and sports for enchaining the quality of teaching and learning art and physical education curricula in Oman.
