A singularidade, cultura e barro o ensino de arte em uma escola pública de Goiana/PE

Abstract

This work, entitled "Singularity, Culture, and Clay: Art Education in a Public School in Goiana, Pernambuco," was developed based on artistic experiences, including pedagogical workshops and visits to art spaces, using clay. It aimed to spark public school students' interest in local cultural practices. To raise awareness and problematize these issues, and by observing the school context, we realized the need to value local culture and its artistic elements, based on their unique constructions. Thus, the objective was to analyze cultural practices in the municipality of Goiana, Pernambuco, with an initial focus on the "Clay Men" group of artisans. The work was proposed to a group of students from the Professora Tarcila Coutinho Amaral Municipal School and was conducted using a qualitative approach, using action research as a methodological approach. The conclusion of this study describes the reflection on the cultural expressions provided to these students, who, in the school context, perceived, experienced, and understood the local culture and the relationship of artistic processes that stimulate the construction of singularities. Thus, to theoretically support this work, the studies of Dewey (1979), Freire (1980), Deleuze (1997), Salles (2006), and Hall (2006) were adopted, whose contributions allow us to deepen concepts of singularity and culture, as well as creative processes in art education and their implications for the formation of individuals.
