Based on a transdisciplinary approach and a stimulating collaborative research space between education stakeholders and researchers, it examines how six classes of year 10 have used graphic objects created on a digital map of their territory for defining a city of tomorrow, then expressing some kind of political representation of this territory. In this respect, visual arts are thus to students both a way to express their own vision and to confront their points of view. The verbalization that follows visual arts work leads students to explore this cognitive process and give a new sense to the whole activity.
