Arte para crianças: o ensino de arte no primeiro ano fundamental de uma escola pública

Abstract

The objective of this TCC work was to contribute to demystifying the teaching of art in the early years, with a view to understanding its importance for the physical, intellectual and social development of children. It is important to recognize in the first years of school education that arts teaching provides moments of relaxation and family social affection, in addition to contributing to the development of a human being's character, based on their own culture. Thus, in this study, priority was given to understanding the theory/practice relationships in the performance of an Elementary School teacher at Escola Municipal Cônego Mathias Freire and identifying how her performance is related to the guidelines and bases of Education and the precepts of the BNCC. The research was guided through participant observation, with semi-structured interviews and document analysis, with an ethnographic characteristic, as per Amado (2021). In it we identify that teaching practice transcends formal theoretical/methodological characteristics, since the use of art in the classroom, in its varied dimensions, through concrete/practical artistic activities, provides a broad field for the construction of the main intellectual characteristics and cognitive aspects of students.
