Based on Pierre Bourdieu's sociology, the article reflects on the role of art in distinguishing and socially valuing elites and the effects of a socio-cultural milieu with broad aesthetic stimuli in school education. Regarding the presence of art in the fabric of social relations, based on the conformation of capitals, among which the cultural occupies a relevant position in the distinction of elites. The principles that lead such fractions of class to become involved in the art market are used as a device for analysis, ensuring the legitimacy of their values and lifestyles. As a theoretical essay, we construct the argument that the teaching of art from rational pedagogy enables the transmission of the legitimate instruments of understanding of art to all those who did not appropriate it in the origin of their school education, reducing initial inequalities in the face of artistic culture.
