In one side, the art that severely influenced by social changes and transformations establishes its new paradigms, on the other side these new paradigms transforms the direction of art education. Modern art which reflects the whole dynamics of modern age proposed that the art education is to be considered as teachable and learnable discipline. In this context, almost up to 1970’s, art education has beard important social targets starting from self development of individuals and reaching at structuring the societies. During the process which called “Postmodern” starting from 1970s and rapidly changing artistic and esthetic approaches has severely transformed art and art education in terms of values, creation process and its results.  The conceptions of competition, commercializing, centralized multiple choice system and homogenization which are in contradiction with all values of art and art education created a chaos and uncertainty.

In this research, it has been aimed to discuss the reflections of Postmodern approaches to art education on the basis of values, institutions, art educator and art student, and to provide a criticizing point of view. The research is theoretical and covers concerned literature and discussions.
