Ensino de arte na educação municipal de Uberlândia: os impasses metodológicos e a realidade do ensino (1990-2003)

Abstract

This work presents a study regarding the teaching of Art in Municipal Schools from 1990 to 2003. It is a documental analysis based on Foucault s archaeology; the documents analyzed were two Curriculum Proposals (1998 and 2003). 1990 was the initial mark of the systematization of the teaching of Art in RME, including children s education and elementary level, being the period from 1990 to 2003 characterized by constant debate, definition of contents and methodology for teaching Art. When considering that the Municipal Curriculum Proposals document is configured as one of the points of the local educational policy, and also, an unfolding of other points of the national policy, the study is composed of a historical course, looking for detaching the systematization of the teaching of Art in a national scope, entailing the educational phenomenon and other instances, i.e. cultural, politics, and economical, of the Brazilian society. Especially, it looked for evidencing the events and the conditions for the emergency of different formative rules of the different ways of teaching Art, which are manifested by several nomenclatures: Artistic education, Art-education, Visual Arts, among others. With the analysis of the Curriculum Proposals, that is a result of collective efforts of the teachers of the Art s team in order to define contents and methodological theoretical foundations, we attempted to answer the following questions: Do the ruptures and discontinuities in the documents and the relationships established in those productions express clear and intentionally defined actions in the perspective of emancipation, autonomy and non-subjection? Did they achieve changes and real ruptures?
