Meaningful learning in artistic subjects leads to ethical responsibility when training teachers of the future. In this sense, research and artistic creation provide students with a channel for reflection, analysis, and communication regarding their concerns as trainee teachers. The project delivered here encouraged and motivated students in the classroom through visual discussions that exhibited trainee teachers’ expectations in the future educational context. Thus, the main aim of the teaching proposal was to represent trainee teachers’ concerns as future teachers and also to contribute new art-based methodologies that help students develop disruptive creation methods and processes in their classrooms. These creations (object poems) represent outcomes of the present research, which together with teaching processes provide a diversity of languages and codes that are enriched by the subjectivity of individuals. This gives rise to personal growth, subjective opinion, and personal reflection.
