This paper seeks to demonstrate the divorce established between the Art Education practiced in the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts, after the Republic, named National School of Fine Arts and the Design Teaching proposed by liberals for primary and secondary public schools. While private schools for rich boys and girls remained tied to copies of European landscapes and portraits, in public schools, art education was practiced towards an initiation to Design, based on Walter Smith ideas through Rui (Ruy) Barbosa’s projects. The political concern of teaching design for labor purposes was a constant from the first industrial boom in Brazil until modernism.Downloads
