摘要：AbstractDue to the rapid changes in society it is increasingly important to ask why we teach the way we do, which teaching methods we should adopt and which we should reject or abandon. As a result, it is crucial that philosophical concerns are integrated into art and design curricula. Novel interpretations and applications of teaching methodologies that will offer new and diverse art forms, perspectives, and worldviews are necessary. In what ways do philosophical theories influence critical analysis and create new opportunities for both educators and students? How can the so-called „trendy‟ deconstructive approaches stemming from postmodern theories influence the variety of artistic and educational fields? This paper will examine the ties between philosophical theories and art education in order to examine possible pedagogical connections between theory and praxis. These possibilities are set out by means of specific applications or methodologies as practiced in inquiry-based art classes in higher education.
