Arte, corpo e espaço: um estudo sobre a expressão artistica no espaço escolar

Abstract

The main objective of this study is to demonstrate the impact that the artistic interventions developed by students in the school space have on students and the community. According to these assumptions undertook a series of questions: The school space is motivating for the students? The school space is really thought out and tapped to affirm the needs of speech, locomotion, motivation and interaction of young students with their peers and community? How can the artistic education or the artistic disciplines contribute within the school space, acting on this same space? A qualitative methodology was adopted, opting for a case study type study. This study was carried out in practice in school context with a class of 11th year of Visual Arts, in the academic year 2012/2013, in the discipline of Drawing in Leal da Camera high school in Rio de Mouro, Sintra. The students worked the body, identity and space through three projects, which were designed for a phased approach to the issues of the body and of identity and a relationship with the space progressively more complex. Regarding the impact that it was possible to ascertain through interviews and questionnaires with the students involved and other key actors in this context, this study demonstrated the importance and validity of the aforementioned projects. If for students was an important process in the questioning and affirmation of their identity, promoted at the same time a beneficial a sense of appreciation in the school environment, with consequences for the whole community.
