Abstract

The goal of this study is to understand the “imagination” that promotes the widely known “creativity” as a phenomenon that specifies and justifies the insertion of art in the education. It focuses on Bachelard’s conception of material imagination to emphasize the operating reverie and its capacity to transform images that design language. The in-depth study of the complex relation between body, image and word becomes the strategy to think the dilemma of art’s educative dimension: What after all do we learn in art? The importance of Gaston Bachelard’s thinking for the field of study of Art and Education stems from the assertion that the learning of art paves the way for the experience of that metamorphosis that allows the thought to deal with the simultaneous temporalities in the act of making a decision to initiate a gesture in the world. It is part of the poetic dimension of art to take a chance to configure instants that revive enthusiasms and promotes the self-assurance that designs the determination of acting in languages to configure them
