From the perspective that environmental education is an important field of research and educational practice and that, despite the official documents and the vast academic literature, we understand that it is still silenced in several spaces. Based on this context, the present article presents research that aimed to highlight the potential of visual arts for environmental education from the viewpoint of ecophenomenology. Characterized as qualitative, the research was carried out with nine education professionals from the city of Campo Magro/PR. Through a thirty-hour extension course, we sought to train these professionals, sensitizing them to the ways of being and relating to and in the human world, and more than human. The procedures for the production of data were participant observation, which consisted of an intense involvement with the participants, logbooks written by the students during the course, and an art map made after a walk around the region. The contributions of visual arts to environmental education were evidenced by the three aspects that emerged: images, multiple layers; sensitization; entanglements of the more than human world. These are elements that allowed us to demonstrate that the visual arts contributed to environmental education, raising awareness about the ways of acting in the world, understanding the horizontal relations in this shared living space.
