Abstract

What are the Great Works of Art and what made feasible the contents of a General Education, curriculum model around this theme at the University of Puerto Rico? A creative way of approaching the selected works of art through a curriculum where students develop an environmental esthetic conscience that will allow them to improve their quality of life, their social responsibility, and the conservation of the cultural production. The lecture also explains how by tracing an understanding the contributions of the great works of art from the past, we are able to a certain extent to propose new approaches to relating to the clues to understand the artistic phenomenon.
