            Abstract : 
This article presents a computer program consisting of a paint program and a database of specially prepared forms in bitmap format for education of visual arts in secondary schools. Since more theoretical issues are prevailing on the secondary school level this computer software, which is actually a paint program, is equipped with different forms in bitmap format, with yes/no questions, multiple choice questions, classic questions demanding full text answers and questions where school boys and girls have to apply the solutions of the questions on specific paintings presented in the questions. By using this program, secondary school boys and girls can compare their own answers with the provided solutions in PaintArt 2.0 and enhance their knowledge of arts.
