Diálogos entre design e belas artes: a inserção do design gráfico no ensino de artes visuais

Abstract

Images are relevant as means of communication today, therefore is necessary to reflect on the messages transmitted by this vehicle. Then, art education should promote visual literacy aimed at interpreting the image in its various media. In this sense, in addition to the traditional manifestations of art, visual education must incorporate the study of aesthetic languages day by day. Graphic design is inscribed in this context, due to its importance in creating imagery content for mass communication. Thus, it is necessary to decode the fundamentals of graphic design, in order to expand the critical perception capacity of visual communication. Based on this premise, this research presents the composition units of the image and analyzes works of art and publications of graphic design, in order to propose a dialogue between both languages. Ratifying graphic design as content for visual education is the norm that governs the teaching of basic education in Brazil, entitled Base Nacional Curricular Comum. The document calls for integrate digital technologies, communication and graphic language into visual education. Therefore, this research reflects on graphic design as a language that shares formal principles with the visual arts and proposes its intersection with art teaching.
