Abstract

In this short essay, I seek to reflect on the effect of the static reflection that screens in contemporary society place
on individuals, namely, on the youngest, and on the paradoxical narcissistic vision / opportunity for freedom that can be placed and, from here on , to defend the importance of artistic education as an element of exercising freedom, based on the possibility of a blank sheet (canvas, screen) – artistic education as an element that builds democracy and citizenship.
