The Expressionist Methodology in the Artistic Teaching and its contribution to Art Therapy

Abstract

In 1920 the Expressionist Pedagogy continued until 1940. It consisted of a new methodology of Artistic Teaching based on a person’s free and emotional expression. It did not take into consideration previous instructional or teaching techniques; only those acquired in an autonomous way by experimenting with artistic techniques and materials were considered. This artistic didactic was able to combine the progressive pedagogy and the new technical and conceptual speeches which were promulgated by the avant-gard artists. Moreover, it will question the objectives and methodologies of the artistic teaching whose inf uence will create a favorable environment in the educative f eld due to the appearance and the professional expansion of Art Therapy.</p
