The paper presents a proposal of project-based learning on the topic of Croatian female artists in the first half of the 20th century. Topic is not present enough in Art History highschool classes and official assessment institutions which should prioritise national heritage. Proposed duration of the project-based learning is eleven weeks in which students will learn about topics that will provide a wideframe picture about women’s social standing and art education opportunities at the turn of the century and in the first half of 20th century. In the first part of the project-based learning, students will learn about social positions of women artists in Europe at the turn of the century and in the first half of the 20th century, possibilities of accessing art education in Europe and Croatia in the same period, political and social context of Croatia at the turn of the century and in the first half of the 20th century which provided visibility of women artists on the art stage, and the most prominent Croatian women artists who lived and worked in the first half of the 20th century: Nasta Rojc, Slava Raškaj, Cata Dujšin Ribar, Anka Krizmanić, Vera Nikolić Podrinska. Project-based learning accounts for a field trip – a visit to Modern gallery in Zagreb – which collects artworks of the previously mentioned artists. Students will autonomously analyse, compare and conclude about individual artworks through methodical exercises. Classroom work encourages independence, group work and discussions. Students will improve different competences and skills that can help them develop their personality, critical thinking and work habits. Final presentation of the project-based learning should encourage students to develop creative and presentation skills. Evaluating work of colleagues and cooperation on the same topic should sensitivise students to accept different opinions, develop empathy, constructive criticism and solve conflicts in an assertive manner. Teacher has the role of mentor and encourages students to learn about neglected parts of Croatian art heritage and makes them conscious about complex social norms and personal biases. He also encourages students to actively research topics of their interest, be it individually or in a group.
