Abstract
Ernst Weber (1873-1948) was one of national elementary school teachers ("Volksschullehrer") on Bayern in Germany, who changed paradigms of educational theories from art education ("Kunsterziehung") to educational art ("Erziehungskunst"). From aesthetic points of view, Weber defined educational art as principle of artistic teaching, not as the subject area of arts. He criticized methods of art education and alarmed for manualism. He changed the system of the educational science that he placed aesthetics in the system. The purpose of this paper is to consider artistic character of teaching in the class, with reference to the theory of educational art by Ernst Weber. Weber considered educational art as the beauty of teaching and learning in the classroom. He found out the beauty of educational practices. And he analyzed artistic character of teaching in the class, with reference to the theory of educational art. Adopting priciples of aesthetics, he difined character of educational artists from two points of view. One was the medium-artist ("Kunstvermittler") like a singer and an actor, the other was modeling-artist ("gestaltender Kiinstler") like a sculptor.
