A arte educação e o arte-educador em espaços expositivos

Abstract

The present paper intends to raise questions about the subjects that involve the teaching and learning of Art in non-scholar spaces, as well as the role of the Art Education professional in art galleries and museums. A data survey was made of the various activities, responsibilities, contributions that are performed by this professional, as well as the teaching and learning of Art in these spaces, which aim to serve society and the individual who enjoys it. It is dedicated to talking about what Mediation is today and its implications, as well as the importance that Art Education and Mediation has been given in the Brazilian social context, in addition to some laws that recognize and reinforce the right of access of Art to all Brazilian citizens. The paper also brings some personal experiences, challenges and complexities of this function to question the current treatment that has been given to this field of work and its professionals. In addition to questioning professional devaluation, it also questions the replacement of art educators for others resources (video, audio, text, for example). A brief overview is also doing about educational didactic materials made by the cultural centers, also discussing the possibilities of didactic materials in expanded formats that can be resignified and used depending on the objective of the art educator. It traces a relationship between Mediation and Art regarding the appropriation of artistic thinking in the teaching-learning process.
