In this study, it was managed to find an answer to the question of whether the art education is influential on the individual's viewpoint of life and on adding the national and spiritual values. For this purpose, The Portrait Values Scale, adapted to Turkish by Demirutku, developed by Schwartz and colleagues, the Humour Styles Survey adapted to Turkish by Yerlikaya, developed by Puhlik-Doris and Martin and the Personal Information Form developed by the researcher were applied to a group consisting of 148 Fine Arts High School students and 346 general high school students who educated in Malatya during the 2015-2016 academic year.
According to the findings obtained; In two positive types of humour, self-enhancing humour and participatory humour, it was found significant differences in favor of female students, while aggressive type of humour revealed a significant difference in favor of male students.
Another of the findings obtained is; There is a moderately positive relationship between the total value and self-enhancing humour scores of the students. There is a low positive correlation between participatory humour scores. According to this result; Participatory humour and self- enhancing humour scores which are positive humour styles also increase, as the students' value scores increase. There is a low level of relationship between total value scores and self-destructive humour scores of students, while there is a moderately negative relationship between aggressive humour scores. Accordingly, as students' value scores increase, self-destructive humour and aggressive humour scores decrease.
