Observation drawing in primary education: breaking myths

This paper explores the situation of Art Education and more specifically observational drawing in Primary Education. It begins with a theoretical contextualisation on four levels. Firstly, according to my own experience, then commenting on what I have learnt in the grade, in line with some relevant theory readings and finally according to the current law of education. In addition, this study investigates a series of myths about realistic drawing and its teaching and tries to dismantle them. For this purpose, the failures or deficits that exist in a specific primary school and in a specific classroom are also studied. With this final objective of putting an end to these recurrent myths, a proposal is made to try to refute them with examples of classroom teaching.
