Abstract

The object of study of this dissertation is the creative process in Visual Arts about indigenous and Afro-Brazilian culture of students in an 8th year elementary school class. As resulting objectives, it is proposed to critically understand the creative processes followed in visual artistic production about indigenous and Afro-Brazilian cultures in elementary school classes in the final years, as well as mediate the development of the creative process with artistic productions and student research on indigenous and Afro-Brazilian cultures; analyze the teaching material of the teaching network on art, indigenous and Afro-Brazilian cultures; carry out image reading and analysis of students' artistic productions, highlighting creative processes in visual arts. The perspectives were based on practice, more specifically on the link between the teaching of Visual Arts, indigenous and Afro-Brazilian cultures, identifying the creative paths taken by the students. In this way, the epistemological axis that guided the research is Critical Theory, through the qualitative approach of descriptive and interpretative studies of data collected in the research environment: a Basic Elementary School in the city of Ponta Grossa-PR that has the discipline of Art - Visual Arts in its curriculum. The research method used is case study study. To generate data, teaching materials made available by the “Rede de Ensino Campos Gerais” were used, texts and summaries produced by students by reading images according to the Iconological method of Erwun Panofsky (1978) of the work “Mahá – Arara Vermelha” by artist Daiara Tukano, photographs and records of the creative process followed during art classes, the finished work, as well as reading images of students about their artistic work according to the Iconological method of Erwun Panofsky (1978). The results show that the more knowledge students acquired about the topic, the more they identified the explicit and implicit compositional elements in the work of art and we reiterate that the more creativity they will have with repertoires to produce their own works.
