El arte en la escuela: poiesis, cotidianidad y cuidado

This article presents a reflection about the impact of art on education at school, through a characterization of three different ways of understanding arts education: by, for and in art. It suggests that education in art can help develop sensibility towards reality, as a complement to rational knowledge of the world, through the development of affects (ways of feeling), and percepts (new ways of hearing and seeing – perceiving). It develops the category of poiesis as a creative act, and recovers views of authors such as Imanol Aguirre, Elliot Eisner and John Dewey, as well of indigenous communities which find in aesthetic experience of everyday life a path for the reestablishment of the link with others and for the re sacralization of life.
