A pintura como expressividade das artes visuais: interação com as obras de Ivan Cruz

Abstract

This work results from efforts in the construction and development of a methodology that aims to favor the expressiveness of children through Visual Arts, specifically focused on painting. The daily experience in early childhood and elementary schools reinforces what literature, through the theoretical framework, presents: childhood as essential in human formation. In this sense, playing occupies a prominent place. However, in defense of literacy, plus the absence of teacher training that intentionally embraces Art at school, this has not been achieved in many institutions. Considering this reality, the proposal aims to insert, in the context of Early Childhood Education, aesthetic productions in which children live with processes of appreciation, reflection, knowledge, and who are protagonists in them. The work of the Brazilian artist Ivan Cruz was chosen, who, by privileging toys and games in his works of art, using strong colors and common scenarios, involves, enchants and attracts the eyes of the child. In addition to the aspects that call attention in his biography, as well as the appreciation of his artistic productions, there was space, together with the children, to produce toys, to promote games, conversation circles and, above all, to know and appropriate the gouache and handmade, raw material for artistic records that reveal a lot of subjectivity and imagination.
