Artes visuais na educação infantil: o desenho e o seu papel no desenvolvimento da criança

Abstract

This monograph deals with learning to draw in early childhood education and role of it in child development. The research of this work is focused on a few points: 1) the importance and impact of the teacher´s mediation on the desire of children to express themselves through drawing; 2) the practice of drawing in early childhood as a form of registration and representation; 3) the identification of resources and support instruments for mediating work of teachers; 4) the bibliographic survey about the importance of visual arts teaching in the student life. The choice of this theme came from my personal experience as a teacher for children of the first five years in early childhood education institutions. The used methodology searched to associate this professional experience with the survey and reading of one bibliography on drawing in early childhood education. It searched to identify teaching art contributions in the context of early childhood education highlighting new didactic possibilities for teaching, evaluation and interpretation through great attention and caution with the mediating role of a teacher.
