Pesquisa em arte e educação: expansão de possibilidades

Abstract

Based on the belief that the presence of different forms of art in education consists of a set of creating forces which are able to mobilize it in different perspectives, the text presented in this communication brings up reflections which try to deepen discussions about new ways of thinking the relationship between education and art, feeding themselves especially from provocations of contemporary art. As from four researches, either completed or in progress, developed together with the Postgraduate Education Program at UFRGS, we have been trying to open space to the study of several topics, including: art, teaching and technological education; art, culture and initial teachers’ education; evaluation in art education and contemporary processes of artistic production and education; and art for life, based on educational experiences in Colombia. At the center of all these researches is the discussion among art, aesthetic and ethics from theoretical conversation between Nietzsche and Foucault, and its likely articulation to teachers’ education actions that include an aesthetic dimension
