With background experiences as an ocupational therapist and with questions about art education, in this research project it is proposed to accomplish an analysis of the "Viausl Arts" activity, focusing on teaching-learning process. In order to do this, based on an Ocupational Therapy procedure - the activity analysis - a series of interviews will be done with the professors of the Fine Arts Department from the Instituto de Artes of the Universidade Estadual Paulista "Julio de Mesquita Filho" (UNESP).There are two objectives in this research project. One of them is to contribute to the thinking and discussing about teaching arts in several levels of education program. Other than that is how to include people with disabilities in this program.
