Narrativas e a produção de significados: disparadores nas práticas artísticas em sala de aula

Abstract

The present work aimed to investigate whether the use of narrative references can favor the perception and the construction of meaning, by art students, about the practice of artistic activities during Arts classes. To this end, the relationship between narratives and the construction of meaning in relation to artistic making and works of art was analyzed, with a special focus on works of Contemporary Art. Then, a reflection was promoted about the role of looking and reading images in Art and the integration of other senses, besides the vision, in Contemporary Art was pointed out. In addition, it was verified the importance of promoting aesthetic education within the arts classes to enable the student development of means to experience a more significant relationship with Art and the artistic process. It was identified that the use of narrative references, that is, elements belonging to the universe of art students, reveals itself as a driving force in this relationship.
