The Impacts of Different Sorts of Art Education on Pupils’ Preference for 20th-Century Art Movements
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
The idea that practicing in our schools with creative activity/artworks based on the observed art movements, could help pupils is an "old" idea, though it is one that is urgently needed. I am afraid that readers will find little new in this article.
The authors on line (352) say that the research has shown that a standardized education and observation of works of art is not enough, please make clearer what is "standardized education" and mainly I suggest you to elaborate/comment on the results shown on tables/figures, which will eventually lead to a not so general conclusion.

Dear Reviewer.
Thank you for your suggestions. We agree that the idea of research is not new, but it is a specific and complex research that has explored children's reactions to works of art through three types of teaching that have not been applied in our schools so far. We tried to include a puppet in the process of art education, which showed that such a teaching method can stimulate children's preferences for art works of the 20th century. Also in this study, children painted "like" Fauvists, Cubists, Surrealists and Pop Artists, and through this mode their preferences for 20th century paintings increased.
We have tried our best to provide further clarification in the text regarding to your instructions.
Best regards,

Reviewer 2 Report
It's an interesting research, which helps to reflect on art education and education through art in schools.
The field of art education is a space that needs reflections. This contribution allows you to start checking which modalities can be significant for children. The attempt to research and document also from a quantitative point of view is a necessary step for future research.
