Towards sensitive knowledge: intersections between Artistic Education and Heritage Education.

Abstract

Usually Artistic Education and Heritage Education have been seen as complementary disciplines, but, in fact, have the same root: the sensitive knowledge. Since Postmodernism learning is related to emotions and multi-sensorial approach, like an experience to know how and know being. Thus, interrelation between both disciplines talks about an education more connected to changeable or volatile Contemporariness. In this essay, we present the most important characteristics that Artistic Education and Heritage share and they mean a starting point to create pedagogical spaces where creativity, expression and divergent thinking would be main point. Specifically, teach our eyes, our sensitivity, support differences, know ourselves and build community. In summary, Artistic Education and Heritage Education are spaces where we could reclaim formative present, pleasure for learning and another way to be in the world, more creative and more flexible.
