This paper develops understanding of the role of the "language of art", as it was conceived in the classical artistic moderna and it thematises the "lan- guage of science", as it was discussed in the same time period. We investigate the classical modernistic Bauhausian conception of utilizing the art language in creating a "total artwork", and show how this idea was intertwined with the discussions about the unity of sciences held in the Vienna Circle of Log- ical Empiricism.
We focus on the notion of elements of language of art or science and show the differences in how it was conceived by individual artists and scientists. We refer to some cases of documented professional interactions of Bauhaus teachers with a few members of the Vienna Circle of Logical Em- piricism to show how the discussions between them pathed the way to today's research methods in the humanities and in pedagogical research and we point out the importance of this discussion for developing an influential educational approach to Arts Education.
We also trace the impact of this approach on todays Visual Arts Educations state curriculum in the Czech Republic. Re- flecting the above mentioned issues, we explain how integrating Visual Art's potentiate or dismiss the ability of students to develop their original under-standing both in the field of the artistic or scientific original thinking.
We explain why teachers should reflect on the conception and role of the language of art or science and its elements.
