Visual Arts Didactics, an approximation from the teaching approaches

Abstract

This paper determines some frameworks for the educational teaching of visual arts in order to build a definition of artistic knowledge based upon different approaches. Some historical periods related to teaching practices have been examined. A vision from a didactic point of view of the visual arts has been built, considering some concepts and its educational implementation in school contexts. Some characteristics of the production and reflection toward the Visual Arts in the school context have been examined, considering rationalist and universalist conceptions and contemporary perspectives.
