"Janelas da alma”: conscientização por meio de produção audiovisual com alunos do ensino médio da Escola Estadual Monsenhor Rocha em Santa Bárbara do Leste - MG

Abstract

This paper presents the results of the project “Windows of the Soul”, which aimed to raise awareness about interpersonal relationships within the school environment through audiovisual production. It offers a reflection on pedagogical practices and the challenges faced in art education, emphasizing the interconnected nature of these issues. Professor Leonardo Xavier da Silva, author of this article, advocates for a dynamic and contextualized approach that engages with students’ realities, values the cultural diversity present in their communities, and asserts that art education should go beyond mere technique and aesthetic appreciation. Instead, it should focus on developing students’ capacity for critical interpretation and personal expression. The article also highlights the importance of considering students’ sociocultural contexts, integrating their lived experiences into the educational process, and transforming the classroom into a space conducive to dialogue and collective knowledge construction.
