Clash Between Forms: In Search of an Inter-Arts Didactics

Abstract

This text seeks to shed light on the discussion about Arts teaching, with regard to possible dialogues between artistic modalities, particularly music and painting. Based on contact with theorists from different areas of the study on arts, education and their interfaces (among others), the methodological description of an inter-arts didactics is proposed, in three times, aiming to extract possibilities of knowledge and creation from/in the contact between music and painting. Throughout the text, reflections are elaborated on the Arts teaching by teachers with Music degree and those with Visual Arts degree, and the challenge of consistently crossing discipline boundaries. The expectation is that this theoretical path with practical aspirations will foster fruitful possibilities for interdisciplinary dialogues in Arts, understood both in its insertion as a discipline of Basic Education, and in a broader spectrum that contemplates the different artistic modalities practiced nowadays.
