Abstract:

Media and contemporary art is important for teacher training. Art educators could link art experience with their own reality, and media evidences. Creativity deals with social, political and cultural issues. From an innovative perspective, we propose strategies for art educators. We introduce topics in the school setting, linked to the emotions, needs and students’ life. Concepts such as «fear» or «body» allow us to investigate current problems. We approach the concepts from the work of Spanish artists Carmen Calvo and Anna Ruiz Sospedra. Methodology used
mixed, combining Arts-Based Educational Research and Artography. We highlight the great
acceptance by students of this process.

Key words: Media, Art Education, Teacher Training, Contemporry Art, Body
