What is the reason that the connection between the way of seeing and living can fundamentally examine the purpose of art education and provide a standard of practice? In order to fulfill the duty of art education, it is a concept that can grasp reality based on the principles of art education.

Kant s concept of aesthetic judgment, rediscovered as a concept that can find how the principle of seeing is connected with the inner ability to live one s life independently, provides a structure to examine the role of art education and its implementation.
