Developing Citizenship Through Art Education and Educational Heritage. Urban Identities in Latin American

Abstract

In this paper we propose a new view to the city and the urban cultural sphere, geographies to create places of learning from a teachers perspective. We discover unusual spaces linked to the cultural urban geographies suitable to create learning scenarios and reviewing a particular teachers’ seeing to the urban space. Educators are a powerful cultural reference to articulate the complex human endeavor that defines the city. We use the contributions from visual culture and visual arts education. Our work uses a case study analysis based on survey results from Santiago and Montevideo teachers. We used direct observation of several shared activities with Uruguayan and Chilean teachers.
