ABSTRACT
On an historical point of view, this article analyses and focuses on the relation between Drawing and Education, considering the social role of Drawing in the professional development throughout childhood and adolescence in the turn of the XVIII century, in the West. It takes in consideration the ideology of it in the creation of the first and second grade public schools and brings Drawing educational proposals to those educational spaces as an absolute necessity for the emergent new industrial society of the XIX century. This society regarded Drawing so much as a multidisciplinary knowledge like an educational process of mind, body and senses in the development of a new social behaviour with new social and moral values, ending in the creation of a so much needed new industrial man through the process of graphic alphabetization for the visibility of Arts and Sciences, one that could attend to the needs of the national (artistic and technical) industry.
