The product and reading images is discussed, involving the visible and the speakable, appearance and opacity, which requires reading of forms and of discourses. The emphasis is on articulation, on the integration between historically systematized artistic codes and other sources – personal, local, mediatic – enabling the establishment of a distinct teaching-learning process, with several methods of appropriation, of questioning and of representation of subjects and knowledge. Within this context, the role of arts based research is highlighted as it enables the inclusion of new modes of record and of performing artistic practices and the reading of images, more personal and interconnected with the imagetic and signifying universe of teachers and students. Such investigation methods exposes other discourses and methods of analysis, other forms of confronting and of learning, encompassing experiences, artistic and visual narratives, dialogues and listening.
