Abstract
La enseñanza de la pintura como disciplina docente en la cultura occidental se produjo por primera vez en el norte del Peloponeso, en las ciudades de Sición y Corinto. Este hecho supone una rareza en el contexto pedagógico y educativo en la cultura griega. La pintura –a partir de la docencia de los pintores de Sición- fue considerada una materia perteneciente al grupo de las enseñanzas liberales, que permitía a los estudiantes una educación artística y estética intergal. Esta nueva situación social de la pintura era de gran relevancia en el ámbito cultural de Grecia en los siglos V-IV a.C. Como podemos leer en los testimonios escritos de Platón, Aristóteles, Plinio el Viejo o Plutarco, el panorama educativo y docente en la cultura griega cambió a partir del siglo IV a.C. gracias a las aportaciones teóricas de los maestros de Sición. El objetivo principal de este trabajo es contribuir al debate sobre el origen, el desarrollo y aceptación de la pintura como disciplina científica capaz de transimitir conocimiento en la educación estética de la antigua Grecia.
Teaching painting as a educational discipline in Western culture occurred first in the north of the Peloponnese, in the cities of Sicyon and Corinth. This is a rarity in the pedagogical and educational context in Greek culture. Painting, from the teaching of the painters of Sicyon, was considered a matter belonging to the group of liberal teachings, which allowed students intergal arts education and aesthetics. This new social situation of painting was of great importance in the cultural sphere of Greece in the V-IV centuries B.C. As we read in the written testimonies of Plato, Aristotle, Plutarch and Pliny the Elder, educational and teaching panorama in Greek culture changed from the fourth century B.C. thanks to the theoretical contributions of sicyonian teachers. The main objective of this paper is to contribute to the debate on the origin, development and acceptance of painting as a scientific discipline able to transmit knowledge on aesthetic education of ancient Greece.
