O universo de Sandman: A ludicidade no ensino de Artes Visuais

Abstract

This research investigates the pedagogical potential of comic books in art classes, analyzing how these graphic narratives can enhance cultural mediation and playful teaching approaches. The study explores how the combination of text and image, a hallmark of comics, can support the development of more dynamic and engaging pedagogical practices. The methodology includes a qualitative analysis of comic works, focusing on Sandman, along with a bibliographic review of art and education theories, such as those proposed by Paulo Freire and Miriam Celeste. The analysis reveals that comic books, by interweaving visual and textual narratives, can deepen the understanding of artistic and philosophical concepts in art classes. The research emphasizes how mythological characters and playful elements in works like Sandman foster connections between theory and practice. This approach has been shown to inspire student interest and contribute to a more critical and reflective learning process.
