A mediação cultural vai à escola: possibilidades para o ensino das Artes Visuais.

Abstract

This work studies the possibilities of cultural mediation as a practice of Visual Arts teaching in public schools included in the Institutional Teacher Initiation Scholarship Program (PIBID - 2024 Notice), in the perspective of this practice contributing for the student's learning of Visual Arts knowledge. The motivation for the development of this project began with the need to create strategies for the teaching of Visual Arts that dialogue with the demands of contemporary art/education, such as the necessity to work on the visual interpretation of the world, of oneself and of the different forms of being and expression. To define mediation, authors Ana Mae Barbosa, Miriam Celeste, and Rejane Coutinho are referenced. The methodology of the research is aligned with Action Research. As some of its possibilities, the study highlights schools' visitations to exhibitions, the teacher's role as a mediator, and the characterization of the school as an exhibition space, in a way of maintaining the students in close contact with art and cultural mediation.
