A fotografia como recurso artístico e pedagógico

Abstract

Thinking of photography as an artistic and pedagogical resource, this research takes place through the relationship between technology and culture and society. Currently, children have shown an interest in technologies related to photography and, therefore, some image production processes are suggested as proposals for pedagogical activities. This work addresses the processes of image production, from Renaissance paintings to current and accessible photographs on cell phone cameras. An artist studied here was David Hockney, who in his book The Secret Knowledge tries to rediscover the lost techniques of the great masters and, moreover, it shows us the need that man has to represent reality, but also to invent it. In this investigation some artists were highlighted, one of them was Cartier Bresson, a French painter who became a photographer.
