The article proposes an interdisciplinary analysis between the visual arts, the national history and the teaching of the same, specifically the problem of violence in Colombia (1948-2002). Based on pedagogical references such as constructivism and critical theory, a curricular proposal is developed to teach the processes of violence in Colombia based on the appreciation, analysis, reading and creation of artistic images, with the aim of promoting more complete learning about the history of the Colombian conflict as well as the national artistic heritage.
