Philosophy for Children & Art: Possibilities of a (re) meeting

Abstract

This article aims to show the potential of a collaborative work around two different curricular units - Philosophy for Children, elective course of the Social Education program and Illustration of the Visual Arts Technological Arts program. By fostering interdisciplinarity as a structuring axis of the formative process, the work developed allows the establishment of the connections between these two areas of knowledge and allows to recognize both in the processes developed and in the products achieved a formative moment of undeniable interest and quality, if with time and voice. In the Course of Philosophy for Children students began a work of knowledge and exploration of different methodological proposals, that Lipman proposed and developed. A manual was developed to each story created, that contained discussion plans, activities and exercises that help (re) read the stories.

 Subsequently, students were challenged to develop projects in Illustration, creating books intended for young people. The interdisciplinary work brought people and knowledge closer together and contributed to new relationships and new approaches in the conception, observation and interiorization of the Illustration.
