Abstract

This article deals with a theoretical study that aims to bring Teaching of the Visual Arts and Design anchored from a third field, that of History, with regard to the domain of the History of Education shaped by the theoretical-methodological approach of Cultural History. In this context, a survey of research data concerning the field of Design produced in the Postgraduate Program in Visual Arts (PPGAV), of Line Art Education and Aesthetic Education, of the Federal University of Pelotas (UFPel), was carried out between 2012 and 2018. From the analysis of the investigated data, it was possible to reflect on the overlap that is of interest in this study, the relationship between Art, Teaching and Design, and consider that in PPGAV / UFPel there was a teaching proposal, arising from the Teaching of Visual Arts, aimed at scope of the aesthetic and the sensitive for the field of Design.
