Abstract

The research paper herein presented reports the teaching activities on the arts of freehand earthenware modeling. Developed at the community of Rancharia, District of Lima Duarte, Minas Gerais, the experience was entitled as Freehand Earthenware Modeling Workshop and the Incentive to the Artistic Expression of the Rancharia Town, Minas Gerais. Having consciousness of the importance that represents living with Arts in constructing the character of a human being, it was envisioned a possibility of forming a study group starting with the creation of a workshop aimed at building knowledge from the manipulation, experimentation, creation and cooking of earthenware. Being the involved people mostly with low levels of education, the proposed study methods did not deepen on theories, but to prioritize the use of images and experimenting to achieve the intended goals. This research had the ambition to take the participants to explore the various possibilities that earthenware modeling offers, seeking externalization of rooted and daily life experiences from Rancharia, not forgetting that Art is a cognitive educational field and that from learning e techniques everyone can create and manufacture
