Memórias docentes: os cheiros e as cores da arte

摘要

This research focuses on the affective memories of teachers of Visual Arts, with the aim of understanding the role they play in their professional choice and the constitution of their teaching identities. The theoretical-methodological reference adopted is the Narrative Research, based mainly on Josso and Nóvoa. The reflections presented refer to the aesthetic and/or artistic experiences experienced by these teachers in their individual trajectories and are analyzed in the light of Dewey. The research evidenced the importance of such experiences in both school education and teacher training, since construction of knowledge and art practice imply a sensitization that is only possible through experiences and the elaboration of meanings that is done both personally and in a shared way in the most diverse educational spaces.
