    This study analyzes Artistic and Cultural Education as a cross-cutting axis for assessing the development of creative thinking skills in primary, lower secondary, and upper secondary students from educational institutions in Colombia. Using a qualitative approach and the case study method, teachers, principals, and students from four institutions located in urban and rural contexts participated. Semi-structured interviews, focus groups, and artistic cartographies were used as data collection techniques, and the information was processed through content analysis. The results show that mainstreaming art and culture into the curriculum fosters creativity, critical thinking, and collaborative work, contributing to comprehensive education that goes beyond memorization and promotes meaningful learning. However, weaknesses were identified, such as the lack of specific teacher training in arts education, limited resources, and the absence of clear criteria for assessing creative thinking. The study concludes that Artistic and Cultural Education, integrated transversally and assessed with contextualized criteria, enhances creative and socio emotional competencies, encouraging pedagogical innovation and curriculum relevance. A methodological pathway is proposed to connect artistic activities with formative assessment processes, aimed at strengthening holistic development and educational equity.
