This presentation is based on my notion that contemporary art education allows creative, critical and unique human expression. On this basis I argue that art is representative but also offers a presentation that undermines this very representation in that it aims to extend or challenge (artistic) worldviews using ideas and their relationship with the visible. Nevertheless, this creative expression should not be without meaning, nor should this meaning be a superficial and banal statement.
    In other words, creative acts in the visual field serve to display an expression that questions concepts and conventions of thought and action. The creator does so by providing an artistic object whose implications may instill constructive doubts.
I demonstrate my point using the oil painting “White Shoes” by artist Assaf Romano. Through this painting I confirm the notion that the dialectical visual image can be used as a teaching tool that allows closeness and distance. Such a tool can bring about a turnaround in the perception of reality through an educational experience that exceeds the conventional structure of knowledge transfer.
During my argument I relate to the term “worldview” through the question of human taste as a value that tends to change over time. I consider the fact that the picture, as well as its creation, are events that have the potential to expose different aspects of reality.
