Abstract :
The challenge of this text is to problematize the aesthetic development of the person (of the teacher), permeated by sense experiences with different manifestations of the arts. Based on the theoretical contributions of the Cultural-historical Psychology, we consider that the aesthetic perception may constitute a foundational theme for the integral formation of the teacher and, as a result, of the children. We discussed the results of a survey conducted between 2004 and 2006 in which a group of twelve teachers in training had artistic experiences, carried out in the field of literature, visual arts and music. The expansion of their repertoire, the aesthetic development and the ethical stand constitute themselves as derivations of the transformations of meaning, of the processes of awareness triggered by aesthetic experiences afforded to those involved in the research.
