Art in Pedagogy: A Multimodal Approach

ABSTRACT The text presented methodological procedures implemented in the subject “Art and its methodologies” in the Pedagogy Degree. The conceptual metaphor “studying is a journey” was used to describe an itinerary indicating the route taken during the meetings. From an enactment theoretical basis, it was argued that the experiences of making and enjoying artistic forms are intertwined with embodied cognitive processes. Based on this perspective, three teaching activities developed from a multimodal approach were reported: the search for correlations between sounds, gestures, and graphics in artistic creation; the search for continuities between the song, the illustration, and the role-playing; the production of visual, musical and scenic reinterpretations based on the reading and contextualization of images.
