Abstract
With the recognition that the contemporary art education system is facing the problem of a guaranteed opportunity to teach and learn art post-democracy, with neoliberal reform of social structures underway, I have examined the following in this paper based on the concept of “Reflexivity”. First, the self-evident presuppositions of school art pedagogy, school art education ideology, and school art education systems were individually clarified. Then, assuming that art education in school guarantees the public the opportunity to teach and learn art pursuant to a constitutional requirement under constitutionalism, curriculum- centered education and child-centered education were theoretically analyzed from the perspective of freedom and social rights. Based on this, I have pointed out the limitation that these are school systems de-contextualized from society and have demonstrated the social and political significance in restructuring school art education to re- contextualize it to society.
