Clash Between Forms: In Search of an Interarts Didactics

Abstract

The aim of this text is to shed light on the discussion on art teaching, with regard to possible dialogues between artistic modalities, particularly music and painting. From the contact with theories from different spectrums of the study of art and education (Souriau, Pareyson, Barbosa, Swanwick and Didi-Hubermann, among others), a methodological description of an interarts didactics is proposed, in three stages, aiming at extract possibilities of knowledge and creation from/in the contact between music and painting. Throughout the text, reflections on art teaching by Music and Visual Arts graduates are elaborated, as well as the challenge of consistently crossing disciplinary boundaries. It is hoped that this theoretical course (with practical pretensions) fosters fruitful possibilities of interdisciplinary dialogues in the teaching of Art, understood both in its insertion as a subject of Basic Education, and in a broader spectrum that contemplates the different artistic modalities in contemporary times.
