THE ART MUST BE THE BASE OF THE EDUCATION
Here it is necessary to define two terms ART and EDUCATION.
As it is the purpose of the Education?
The purpose of the education, only can be to develop, at the same time that the singularity, the social conscience or reciprocity of the individual. As result of infinite exchanges of the inheritance the individual will be inevitably unique and this singularity, being something that I did not put any other individual, it will be of value for the community.
It can be only one singular way to speak or to smile, to see, to think, to invent, to express feelings and emotions - but that contributes to the variety of the life and in that case, the individuality of a man can be of incalculable benefit for all the humanity.
One of the certain lessons of modern psychology and the recent historical experiences is that the Education also must be not only integration but individuación process , that is of reconciliation of the individual singularity with the social unit. From this point of view, the individual will be "good" in the measurement that makes its individuality within the organic totality of the community. Its touch of color contributes, by imperceptible that is, to the beauty of the landscape - its note is a necessary, although not perceived element, in the UNIVERSAL harmony.
the freedom is a state of the being equipped with positive, characteristic characteristics that must be developed in all their self-sufficiency. The development of these positive qualities eliminates inevitably the opposite qualities. We avoided hatred by means of the Love; we avoided the sadism and the masoquismo by means of the community of action feeling.
Plato postulates east principle of FREEDOM "You avoid the compulsión - he says and that the lessons of your children take the form from game. This will also help them to appreciate as they are his NATURAL APTITUDES.
The education can be defined, as the culture of the expression ways, consists of teaching to the children and adults to develop the faculties of the thought, logic, memory, sensitivity and intellect. The objective of the Education is therefore the creation of Artists, of the efficient people in the diverse ways of expression
THAT IT IS ART?
The Art is one of those things that as the air and the ground, are in ours around everywhere, but that rarely we stop to consider. Then Art is not simply something that we found in the museums and the galleries. As it wants that we define it, the Art is present in everything what we make to please our senses.
But authentic work of art does not exist that does not attract our senses fundamentally - our physical organs of perception - and when we asked "What is the art", we in fact asked which is in an art work the quality or peculiarity that attracts our senses.
If we read letters of a painter as They go Gogh, we see that I throw to paint a picture is for him always a problem to translate its subject in sensible qualities that they do not have imitative function, but that wake up in the spectator a corresponding sensation - not a corresponding image "the problem consists of green of different quality, of the same value, way to form a totality of green that by its vibration makes think you about the smooth murmur of mazorcas oscillating in the breeze".
Therefore what I affirm he is sufficiently simple: A type of art to that does not exist all the types of men must be satisfied, but so many types of art as types of men; and the categories in which we divided the art must correspond to the categories in which we divided to the men.
