The multiple intelligences in dramatic expression

Abstract

This article aims to reflect on the complicit relationship between the theme of Multiple Intelligences and the universe of Artistic Expressions. Specifically, it aims to: firstly, explore the influence Dramatic Expression education as practiced in schools, as a curricular discipline of the 3rd level of Basic Education, in the integral formation of students; secondly, to highlight, using the theoretical and practical reasons, the extraordinary supporting role in developing Multiple Intelligences. Having art education been consigned a universal human right, by the Convention of UNICEF on children’s rights – Declaration adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1989 and ratified by Portugal in 1990 -, it is pertinent to reflect and both to find out how to implement this particular project, and to distinguish whether the practice is consistent with the policy at the level of recognition of the value of Arts Education in School.
