O brincar no ensino/aprendizagem de artes visuais

Abstract

This research investigates the possible dialogue between games / toys and the teaching of visual arts. It is considered that many artists experience the moment of playfulness in the creation process. The research reports the need for learning from the analyse of images by children in a society permeated by several means of communication. The applied methodology is based on the concepts of Ana Mae Barbosa's triangular proposal and on the publication of the book “O brinquedo-sucata e a criança” (2007) by professor Marina Marcondes Machado on playing. Based on a field research, children from a teaching institution in Contagem were able to participate in an Institutional project involving knowledge and image analysis combined with the moment of playing. This experience enabled the development of children's artistic and body language as well as providing a taste for artistic activity and a stimulus for image reading.
