This article proposes to analyze the curricular matrix of two Pedagogy courses from public universities, as well as the curriculum of the art disciplines, in order to verify the space of this area of knowledge in the initial education of childhood educators. The investigation was developed by means of literature review, documentary research and students narrative regarding their experiences with art in Pedagogy courses. The results indicate that the analyzed courses need to expand the space dedicated to art in initial teacher training for small children, considering the need for training that includes knowledge in the field of Early Childhood Education combined with artistic and cultural experience. It is concluded that there is a long way to go in the elaboration of curricular proposals committed to the critical and creative capacity of the human being.
