The hierarchy of the table and the crockery’s design as elements for art education from visual culture

Abstract

In this paper we analyze new aspects of the territories of design, ceramics and teaching in art education. We review the concept of the crockery elements and boarded the table hierarchies, combining historical, aesthetic and educational issues, covering the tradition which relates the uses of food and design between the Medieval Era and modern times. We claim the role of the artisan-craftsman as a concept which relates the production of objects with school work from perception of pragmatist sociologist Richard Sennett.
