The art of teaching and the teaching of art

Abstract

Throughout the times, art has been considered as a quiet element to be observed and valued by a group of “experts”. At present, various processes of human life have been placed in the hands of art, including the integral education for the construction of a new citizenship. This laudable envisaged adventure for the arts will only be possible if a change of vision with respect to the artistic field is achieved, as well as a change of the concept we have concerning the educational act and of the art in itself.
