Abstract

Creativity is one of the fundamental functions of human functioning being responsible for
the expansion of the range of experiences and knowledge accessible to the human psychological
subject during the process of world making. In this sense we understand the relationship creativityeducation,
once during the most critical periods of development, creativity is fully embedded in the
education system. Starting from the influences of authors such as Vygotsky (1917/1998, 1930/2004),
Piaget (1945/1975), Kegan (1982), Housen (1983), Parsons (1987), Goodman (1968/2006,
1978/1995), Gardner (1996), Amabile (1983), Sternberg and Lubart (1991), and Csikszentmihalyi
(1999), the theoretical discussion presented critically explores the potential of art education in the development of creativity, considering its inclusion in the educational curricula as mandatory, since
through art is introduced a qualitative differentiation that promotes access to a distinctive vision of
reality and enhances the process of complexification of the individual’s psychological structures.
