Contribuição do “Em Cultura” para desenvolvimento de propostas pedagógicas para o ensino de artes visuais

Abstract

The following study points out journalism’s contribution to the teaching of visual arts, which is accomplished through the analysis of Estado de Minas’ “Em Cultura” section. This analysis is an incursion of the reference literature that is set to outline the historical and current characteristics of the teaching of visual arts at public schools in Brazil. Still based on the reference literature, the possibility of incorporating the contents of cultural journalism into the teaching of visual arts is made clear, and for such artists and art movements that have either influenced or been influenced by printed news were presented. This study also explains how cultural journalism is presented as a source for critical thinking building and of information, confirming the efficacy of its use. At last, lesson plans are presented to corroborate the viability of using “Em Cultura” to develop visual arts teaching pedagogical proposals.
