Drawing and geometry in elementary school: a long lasting marriage that ends with a contentious divorce

Abstract

The article analyzes the history of Drawing and Geometry at the elementary school. As sources of research, we use legislation and pedagogical journals of wide circulation in the period were analyzed. It is concluded that initially there was an important link between the drawing and geometry. At the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, this will change with the separation between teaching content. Each of them has different goals now.
