Abstract

The current Faculty of Fine Arts of the National University of La Plata has its first record in the Drawing School attached to the Institute of the Museum and Faculty of Natural Sciences. The former pedagogical orientation of the School was the teaching by correlation addressed to the students of the raising National University, which involved the coordination and cooperation of the various sections of the university, concentrating resources and fostering inter-faculty sociability. Although this direction possessed a strong technical bias regarding the teaching of drawing it also introduced elements of artistic formation. Two of its early professors were Martín Malharro and Miguel Rosso, who staged a persistent confrontation about their teaching methods during their time as school colleagues.
