Vivência da tecelagem manual em uma turma de 8º ano da Escola Municipal Osório Aleixo da Silva

Abstract

Since the Renaissance, its possible to see that there is a demerit of handicraft in relation to art, however, many contemporary artists develop their artwork using traditional techniques like weaving. This research presents the question-problem: how the manual weaving can favor the artistic and cognitive development of the student in Art Education? To answer this question, we tried to understand the historical context of handwork teaching in Brazilian education, how it happened, itsrelationship with the Art Education and how the handicraft is taught in schools under the guidance of Waldorf education. Besides these studies, visits were made in Waldorf schools, the Salão do Encontro and its Unidade Filhote, in order to conduct m informal interviews and observations, as well as photographic records and questionnaires at the Municipal School Osório Aleixo da Silva. This research adoptedthe guidelines of the triangular approach to art education, as well as guidance for the structure of a class as the orientation of Waldorf education. Finally, it is concluded it is possible to develop techniques of handwork with artistic character contributing to the child's imaginative training and that the manual weaving offers a broad feature of plastic, visual and expressive possibilities.
