In this paper, we will expose theoretical questions about the relationship between practice and theory in fine art, and teaching in elementary and art schools, as well as the faculties of Fine and Applied Arts. We will try to answer to some of these issues, while the other may post new threads. But first we will consider the relationship between linguistic and visual aspect in teaching, that in the schools and faculties of this type involves psychologically strong teachers, well prepared for frequent changes in an interactive process with their pupils or students. The fact that in final realization of this process we obtain the product of visual character talks about the complex structure of lectures and exercises, because with language, that is, words and sentences should be referred to the formation of individual visual language and creativity with visual elements. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to put emphasis on the linguistic aspect in the teaching of visual arts from a certain angle, that is somewhat unjustly neglected as less important in relation to the visual as the main aspect.
