Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:The research work presented in this article is based on years of experience of teaching in the field of art pedagogy and child art education. For over twenty years, Ava Serjouie-Scholz has devoted her time to research and teaching in the field of art education and has taken every opportunity to conduct studies and to teach art in schools, as well as to schoolteachers and social pedagogues, as she believes that we can only truly make appropriate judgements and decisions or even suggest art curricula or lesson plans if we have enough experience in personally implementing those suggestions. Often, teachers legitimately debate that the syllabus is created by those who have no or very little experience working in a classroom and have no idea of the constraints that teachers face. Therefore, having extensive and wide-ranging work experience has provided her with an insight into all the limitations, but also into all that we can still offer to make an art class a lifelong valuable experience. As art teachers committed to our goals, we owe it to ourselves and to our students. This article focuses on the role of art education and teachers in promoting creativity and imagination, enhancing students’ understanding of visual arts while engaging in themes that deal with social justice, equal rights for everyone and promoting respect and understanding of cultural diversity.
