Abstract

The objective of this work is to report how drawings can become teaching materials for Religious Education (RE). The use of drawings produced by students can become a solution to the shortage of teaching materials in the area of RE, demonstrating the autonomy of the student with the mediation of the teacher, who is the link to the result of the production. This is an experience report while a graduate in RE, following the proposal of a/r/tography, in which the teacher is, at the same time, a teacher, artist and researcher. The communication between authors from different areas such as Belidson Dias, Fritz Kaufmann, Maria Betânia da Silva, Maria José Torres Holmes, Paulo Freire, Robson Xavier da Costa, among others, provides the basis for the work. The research was exploratory, with a qualitative approach, resulting in an experience report, with data analyzed by the content analysis method. The results demonstrate that drawings are capable of dialoguing with RE, so that students can reflect, criticize, or even remake art, giving new meaning, with their own way of understanding. It is concluded that art and RE can go hand in hand and that drawing can be an excellent teaching material, facilitating the teaching-learning process.
