Abstract:	The purpose of this study was to investigate how Performing and Visual Arts education is implemented in enhancing students' artistic expression through exploring the teaching methods and stakeholders' awareness to give insight into the proper implementation of art education for educational leaders. The study employed a qualitative comparative case study research method. Data was collected through in-depth interviews using semi-structured questionnaires, classroom observations, field notes, and by consulting relevant documents. Participants were arts experts, school principals, art teachers, students, and parents, a total of thirty-seven individuals. Even though art teachers are passionate, students are interested, parents are supportive, school principals are coworkers, and art experts are committed, the findings of the study showed the challenges of implementation of PVA education due to a lack of proper planning and usage of teaching methods and integration of the subjects. The study recommends a properly integrated approach, using appropriate teaching methods and educational leaders' careful involvement for the desired outcome. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
