Arte Contemporanea na Educação de Jovens e Adultos

Abstract

This research aims to investigate certain aspects of teaching contemporary art in the education of young adults (EJA), emphasizing its significant contribution as a form of expression in creating enriching educational environments. Motivated by recognizing the transformative potential of contemporary art in education, the goal is to understand how this curricular content of art can enhance educational practice in EJA. By exploring the diversity of mediums and materials in contemporary art, the fluid nature and openness to various forms of expression are highlighted. One focus is on the transition from modern to contemporary art, with emphasis on the contributions of artists like Marcel Duchamp, considering the benefits and challenges of this approach, especially within the specific context of EJA. Throughout the text, there is an emphasis on the importance of teaching Contemporary Art in students' formation, not only for the appreciation and production of visual works but also as a stimulus for critical thinking and sensitive perception of the world. Additionally, the relevance of the Art teacher is underscored, emphasizing the need for aesthetic and historical knowledge in the historical-critical approach, questioning evaluation methods solely centered on grades.
