A animação: um olhar transdisciplinar para as artes visuais

Abstract

In basic education, among so many disciplines and knowledge, it is fundamental to work with art for the global development of the human being. The article reflects on the importance of employing digital technology, specifically animation, in various disciplines, because traditional methodologies have left students unmotivated. It is certain that the use of animation, when valued as a pedagogical resource, can link various disciplines and encourage creativity, imagination, and criticism. The research addresses Ana Mae Barbosa's Triangular Approach, which advises the interaction between practices, content, and interpretation in the sense of reading the work of Art, or the field of the meaning of art, artistic creation, and contextualization. As well as, it discusses John Dewey's ideas about the importance of Arts in basic education. The investigation aims to verify how animation can encourage students, considering the reality of students and digital technology, as well as to research types of animation that can be used in basic education. This study presents a brief history of animation, starting from its origins, bringing animation as a didactic material, which provides students with active learning. The research contains animation practices carried out by 4th-grade elementary school students, where flipbooks and thaumatrope, which are optical toys, were created. Finally, it is concluded that animation, when used in the educational process, allows children to learn by creating, developing their visual narratives, and promoting the appreciation of culture and diversity.
