Since aesthetics is one of the fundamental pillars of philosophy and part of the syllabus of philosophy in Brazilian high school, the proposal of this work places kitsch as an object of study in basic education. Friedrich Schiller in the Aesthetic Education of Man (1794) points out that the perfect balance between the impulses is given by art and by the appreciation of the beautiful, this being the only way to avoid in the future the degeneration of governments in violence and failures as witnessed in the French Revolution; authors such as Clement Greenberg, Milan Kundera, Abraham Moles and other authors, each in a particular way, see kitsch as an aesthetic element that manipulates sensations, which leads to deception of its consumers. Based on such thinkers who approach kitsch, it is historically and conceptually analyzed how each of them approaches this aesthetic phenomenon, such as its impacts on society and its uses. After analyzing kitsch, a discussion is made between Friedrich Schiller's proposal (1794) and the possible congruences with current Brazilian teaching and whether the kitsch approach in schools contributes to an aesthetic education of the individual. As a result of the research, an informative booklet and a lesson plan were produced for use in high school philosophy classes and a blog as a secondary product. The application generated a report, by the author teacher, on the reception of the content by the students, with a positive report. Keywords: aesthetic education; kitsch; Schiller; teaching philosophy.
