It began before the newspapers were scanned .The first part of the book deals with the history of modernization highlighting the Nationalism of Latin America at the begin of the XX Century besides the educator Best Maugard Mexico ,the Designer Elena Izcue in Peru and Theodoro Braga in Brazil. In the second part we deal with the educators who defended the teaching of design, film and cultural appropriation already pointing to freedom of expression. All of them were linked to the New School Movement (Fernando de Azevedo, Cecilia Meireles, Edgard Sussekind de Mendonça and Gerardo Seguell,) ending with a cultural analysis of the exhibitions of children’s drawings, a kind of modernism attraction and art exhibitions for children introduced by postmodernism. In the third part It is analyzed the foreign contributions to the modernization of art education in Brazil brought by students who have been specializing in the Teachers College of Columbia University and the contributions of Marian Richardson through the courses of the Escolinha de Arte do Brazil.
