Resumen
Aesthetic understanding can come to the fore in all areas of human and social life including
education. Public spaces provide concrete indicators of the culture of the people living in city centers
where these concrete indicators are directly accessed and located. Works of art, which reinforce the
identity of cities with their transfers to future generations, have continued this function since the
earliest periods of history. Therefore visual education is essential to teach how to understand and
conceptualize the expression of art in various forms. After 1980, with the effect of the conditions in
the world, a significant metamorphosis emerged in terms of understanding of art. With the combined
effect of postmodernism, the understanding of art, which keeps up with the new world order on the
one hand and opposes it on the other, has sought to find a place worthy of it. This article focuses on
visual education using the sculpture art in public spaces. The article was designed as a qualitative
research and narrative method based on literature review was used. In the study, functions of works
of art in public spaces, presented to the audience as a product of aesthetic efforts, were mentioned. In
addition, public space works constituted the direct object of the teaching materials for visual
education. The results have revealed that artists should design works of public space considering the
original representation of the people of the region first and then the region in question because
interaction of the people of a certain region with public works increases and develops a meaningful
relationship with the space. As a consequence, it will contribute to visual education as teaching
materials in a concrete way.
