Description
Summary:The present article conducts an overall assessment of two relevant issues in art education: contemporary art in the syllabus of teacher training programmes and playing as a vehicle to learn, with the purpose of developing a teaching strategy that can be used as a game in the classrooms. Two stage transfer drawing  by Dennis Oppenheim, Tree Dance  by Gordon Matta-Clark and Swamp by Robert Smithson and Nancy Holt are the three films that we will relate to contents of childhood and primary education, such as graphic art, movement and exploration of the environment. The games that are suggested will help future teachers to break down their barriers and approach the processes of contemporary creation by experimenting. Keywords: contemporary art, game, teacher training, basic education
