Art/Education, Visual Culture, Spectacle, SocietyAbstract
This article intends to discuss the process of defining pedagogical and curricular practices in the Art/Education field to enable students to expose, examine and criticize the immutable and essential codes of mass-mediated systems and, for that, conceptualize visual culture as a spectacle. Understands the image as a product of social relations, which teach us what and how to see and think. The pedagogy of the visual culture spectacle is divided in the article first as an omnipresent form of representation and second as a democratic form of practice.
