As tecnologias digitais e o professor da educação básica: o ensino das artes visuais na contemporaneidade

Abstract

This work sought to reflect on the new challenges and opportunities of teaching plastic arts in basic education, considering that today, in the so-called digital age, we live a reality in which the transfer and communication of information are fast and massive, which has profoundly affected society, its production processes, the transmission of information and, above all, the way it is taught and learned. In this context, it is important to think about how an art teacher, in this case, a visual arts teacher, must adapt to this new world to keep up with the changes and succeed in complex art. The methodology used to carry out this work was a bibliographic review with the objective of obtaining information about what some writers have said on the subject. This panorama was completed with the reflections of the author of this work, his personal educational experiences and the training obtained in the specialization course in teaching of visual arts of the Federal University of Minas Gerais. It is hoped that this article will help to broaden the understanding of what are the new challenges of the visual arts educator in the technological world and what his training should be to successfully fulfill his role in the current world.
