A perspectiva estética e expressiva na escola: Articulando conceitos da psicologia sócio-histórica

Abstract

Contributions of Arts on education are provided. Day-to-day relationships between people are more and more guided by economic and functional motives. The school institution has also been invaded by this logic stance and a fundamental space for interrogation has been lost. This has always been necessary to discover ourselves as autonomous, singular and non-static beings. Aesthetics may become an instrument to educate sensitiveness and may lead us to discover a world which has been unknown up to the present. Artistic activities - aesthetic and expressive - are defined whilst these factors contribute towards the expression and the organization of emotion and imagination as from the standpoint of sociohistoric psychology. Workshops as spaces for activities and reflections, or rather, an activity close to Art, are also investigated.
