Textbooks for art education: do not ask them what they can not give you

Abstract

This text brings results of research carried out on the discipline Art and the place of the text book in the reorganization of the contents under the conception of transdisciplinarity among several fields of knowledge, one of the evaluation criteria proposed in the Edital PNLD 2017. It is analyzed two approved art textbooks collections in the PNLD 2017 starting from the critics to the polyvalence and the valorization of the transdisciplinarity. In order to think, does transdisciplinarity, unlike the polyvalence of the 1970s, consider the model for which the teacher is formed? Does the textbook play in maintaining or extinguishing the practice of a single art teacher working the four languages? Does the training proposed in the degree incorporate the proposition of a teaching of Art History, in thematic axes? Finally, we approach the imprecision or ignorance of the object of art study and the specificities of languages, calling teachers to participate in propositions and decisions about the destinies of education in art.
