The school priorities are growing increasingly apart from the integral formation of the individual, and efforts are being concentrated on the economical preparation of the young. New ways of teaching and the resurgence of forgotten pedagogies can remind us of the primordial meanings of education. Under the perspective of new ways of thinking education we find the queer pedagogy, a manner of education inspired by the homonymous theory that analyzes and experiences sexuality and/or gender as fluid, and not binary. Queer pedagogy does not ignore the diversity of sexual manifestations, but avoids the binary way of understanding gender and culture; it is an education that brings differences into the daily life of the classroom. Libertarian pedagogy finds its theoretical inspiration in the anarchist thinking and practice of many authors, the socialist libertarian movement being the most frequently cited amongst educators. The guiding principles of anarchist pedagogy are: liberty, autonomy, creativity and solidarity - and furthermore, integral education, which proposes a learning that embraces all aspects of the human being (intellectual, social, emotional, and motor), and in which the interests and individuality of the students are valued. In this pedagogy freedom is synonymous with social harmony. Within the sphere of education in visual culture, a concept that widens the contents usually dealt with in art/education with contemporary and daily life cultural manifestations, new forms of teaching afford the student a less predetermined way of understanding the world and him/herself.
