Abstract

This text is the result of a doctoral research in the field of teacher education that aimed to understand how a process of continuing education with kindergarten’s teachers, from the perspective of Historical-Cultural theory, can contribute to their work to expand the possibilities of childish expression, especially by drawing. We observed how the relationships got together and how the drawing spend time and space in planning. Through research with formation, we proposed a group’s studies to discuss the need for art, aesthetic formation, imagination and creation. The experiences proposed by the teachers started to think the drawing as a combination of the body in motion, surfaces and markers. Drawing gained centrality in planning and gave new meaning to doing, before it was only concerned with the result. Process and product started to dialogue and the result was experiences of enjoyment and freedom, valuing drawing as an expression.
