In this paper we essay a revision of some deep conceptions on ar and art
education. For that reason, according to the theories of the anthropologist C.
Geertz, we start mading a reconceptualization of the idea of art, considering that
as a simbolic system which interact with other simbolic systems inside of the
culture. In the second part we analize and develop the consecuences that this
redefinition carries on the art education, proposing a new approach to consider
the field of the study and the structure of the curriculum as well as a new
perspective on the practices of interpretation and extraction of meaning in front
of the visual arts.
