This paper aims approach the concepts related to visual arts and their teaching, focusing on the practices of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and, more specifically, of Santa Catarina Association for the Integration of the Blind - ACIC n order to develop this research, we present a literature review on the concepts discussed here, among them the one of Art-Education, along with the analysis of interviews with teachers who involve the art in their classes at ACIC. At this first stage of research, we examine two questions from a semi-structured questionnaire, which relate to what teachers mean by art and how they use it in their practice with blind students. In a first moment we intend, in this article, establish relationships between the theoretical says about the art education and what think the teachers about your practices involving these. After and starting a conception about the art, based in the theoretical cited here we pass for the analysis the interviews performed in ACIC As a result it is clear that, although the art appears in other teaching practices, it is more present in the teaching of techniques for craft, a fact that is not characterized as art-education, considering that practice does not include the goals in art-education.
