Art teaching in the city of Manaus: reconstructing history

This book seeks to provide a brief historical contextualisation of art teaching in the city of Manaus, taking into account the universities that train art teachers and how the respective art courses were created. It will discuss art teaching in the city of Manaus, taking as its starting point teachers trained and not trained in art, hired or made permanent by the state and municipal education departments SEMED and SEDUC. The book is the result of a discussion with teachers and coordinators who contributed to the implementation of the art degree courses, highlighting their conceptions of art teaching through interviews. This book is suitable for art researchers and teachers, as well as critics, ministers and secretaries of education, since in the book I question why art teaching in our state is critical, and make suggestions for improvements to teaching in general. It is also suitable for arts activists and students whose aim is to build a better world through education.
