Abstract: Art education plays a vital role in nurturing creativity, cultural awareness, and critical thinking, as well as bridging traditions and modernity in the evolving aesthetic landscape. Hence, this study aims to analyze the value and application of folk art in modern art education. A total of 12 co-participants participated in the face-to-face interview, including in-service college art teachers and art students. Employing the phenomenological research approach, data has been gathered through the use of validated interview guide questions, and were organized through coding method. Following this, the results were analyzed through thematic analysis which revealed that significant experiences from the participants provided six (6) emergent themes, and 25 meaning units. Specifically, themes include the active exploration of the integration; encountered challenges; feasible solutions; experiences of innovation and aesthetic perception, improvement of curriculum evaluation mechanism; and recommendations for future participants. Further, developmental plan was designed as the output of the study, aiming to promote a comprehensive and effective integration of folk art and modern art education.
