O lugar do desenho nas escolas

Abstract

Our graduation thesis presents an analysis about the place of drawing in educational environments, either self-directed and conventional ones, through a sociobiographical approach. Our main goals was to investigate the importance of drawing as an expression form inside those educational environments, as well as observe the cause of rupture of the drawing language that gradually happens inside conventional educative spaces. Questionnaires were applied in two different kinds of educational spaces, in order to compare the students perceptions and to collate the results with the theoretical references of our research. The hypothesis tested here was that freedom, in self-directed learning spaces, enables a more persistent and natural relation with the drawing language.
