A mitologia brasileira no ensino de artes visuais

Abstract

This Final Course Project, referring to the degree in Visual Arts Degree from the Faculty of Arts, Letters and Communication of the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul. Aiming to understand how Brazilian mythology can be associated with the teaching of art in basic education. For this reflection, the text will seek to understand concepts that involve the theme, reflecting on past experiences and seeking new ways of thinking about pedagogical practice based on the analysis of other Graduation Works, which address mythology in art teaching, thinking from the relationship between cultural and symbolic imagery. Subsequently, past experiences on mythology were deepened in classes, seeking to reflect on paths and possibilities from an educational perspective. The aim was to discover different perspectives on the subject, as well as possible forms and approaches for the insertion of mythology within school content and teaching practice. It can then contribute to research involving myths, especially Brazilian myths, from an educational perspective.
