Mostra de arte na Escola Estadual Professora Sílvia de Alencar Zschaber em Buritizeiro-MG: Um novo olhar metodológico a partir do ensinar e o aprender na experiência do cotidiano escolar

Abstract

The public school for a long time has been seeking strategies to improve the teaching-learning process, in order to rethink this process of knowledge transmission through ready-made models and formulas, brought by the teacher and developed almost mechanically by the student. At Professora Sílvia de Alencar Zschaber State School this situation changed with the insertion of the Art Exhibition annually created, whose objective is to develop learning through art and consequently discover talents, as well as bringing the community to be part of this process. Thus, this research aims to understand how methodological practices can modify the daily lives of students from this school, who had been discouraged for a long time, with no prospect of improvements in learning. The objective of the research is to reflect and analyze my teaching practice in art and to verify which actions have changed the routine of teaching and learning at this school. Therefore, we seek to understand the changes that occurred after the art exhibition was inserted, while observing the mechanisms that brought into the school walls the effective participation of the family, other schools, people from other neighborhoods and even other cities. For thus, we seek to understand teaching practices with students and, based on this analysis, identify how art can contribute to improving the learning/training process and the transformation of the reality in which they are inserted. The art exhibition project, object of this research, started in November 2007 and lasts until the present date, becoming part of the permanent calendar of the school in question. To give a theoretical foundation to these discussions, this research was based on authors like Iavelberg (2003) when it is analyzed that to work art teaching practices, it is essential to have a taste for teaching art, Richter (2003) when he brings notes about the experience of art in the classroom and his challenges vis-à-vis the teacher/student and by Buoro (2009) in the moment we relate the realities experienced within the context in the classroom. Therefore, the proposal of the art exhibition, inside the school, was to provide continuous and interdisciplinary learning, constituting itself as the main object of this research. This learning can be proven, based on significant experiences brought to students through the Art Exhibition at Sílvia de Alencar Zschaber School, making them capable of appreciating, reflecting and elaborating artistically their social context, interfering critically under the mode of learning and production from the students.
