From this side of the Equator: “tentavias” of thinking/knowing/feeling the teaching existence in visual arts

Abstract

In these shores of Amazonas, precisely where the equator splits the world, I present intimate thoughts about the initial formation of teachers in visual arts. I write and speak as I think, systematize and operate classes taught in the Visual Arts Licentiate Course at Universidade Federal do Amapá CLAV/UNIFAP. I problematize correlations relevant to the arguments of Visuality, Science and Art that institute themselves, gauging the importance and necessity of the university and the teacher in social life. Thus, the condition of visuality as building/producing strength which the seeing manners combine the dynamic of learning rituals, considering body, mind, sensations and, life experiences of a phylogine culture. The ritual dynamics sign other involvements and surely put in motion other dimensions of existence at the university. Moreover, the guidance propels tentavias of invent/Ação to the horizon of teaching creation and autonomy and the life inside the classroom. Those ideas combine themselves through thinking and doing. From feminist inspiration with the materiality of art undertakes and composes the professional experience between sentimental cartographies in the formation of visual arts teachers. I conclude with the thoughtful interest to provoke thinking through practice, aiming displacements and, perceptive displacements in relations with education, art and its teaching at the academic space, especially relations ruled by sensorial experiences.
