O ensino de artes visuais para pessoas com deficiência intelectual, utilizando como recurso a reciclagem de papel e a reutilização de materiais

Abstract

Monograph is an experience report, showing the importance of Visual Arts Teaching for people with intellectual disabilities, using as a didactic resource the recycling of paper and the reuse of materials. The experience report was produced from classes and arts activities in the Service of Centro Dia da APAE de Divinópolis, with people aged 18 to 59 years. The combination of theory with practice made it possible to better understand the importance of the contact of people with intellectual disabilities with Art, based on paper recycling and reuse of materials. By resmeansing materials that would previously be discarded and give a new meaning to the object it was possible to work on the ability to socialize as well as create methods and activities that develop creativity, critical sense, autonomy, sensitivity and Cognition. Through bibliographic research and observations obtained in the room in the Center Day service, it was concluded that the visual arts helped develop: social engagement, interaction, socialization and also creative capacity, critical sense, self-esteem, and autonomy in people with intellectual disabilities. Thus it was concluded that art transforms, and contributes to human development. It is also concluded that paper recycling and material reuse is a great alternative to work in Art with people with intellectual disabilities, both in the sense of human development, as well as in financial and ethical.
