The Multifaceted Nature of Art Praxis and Art Teaching-Learning Based on New Paradigms

Abstract

This article outlines the historical trajectory of certain scientific events that helped reshape thought and knowledge production, while prompting a discussion on the relationship between the individual and nature—as well as their opposing aspects and interrelationships. Its primary objective is to reflect on the multifaceted nature of Art Praxis and on new paradigms for structuring art education. It highlights the "anti-aesthetic" of modern art—which emerged amidst the scientific and industrial revolutions—and the profound changes it triggered by drawing lines between the old aesthetic standards of classical art and new artistic paradigms; this shift revolutionized the worlds of art, language, and communication, revealing new processes, signs, and their infinite interconnections and modes of becoming. Regarding methodology, the article presents Reception Theory, as it enables a dialectical relationship between art and society, offering promising avenues for understanding the encounters between signs and their myriad facets within the production-reception process.
