Abstract

This study aimed to find the context of a São Paulo public school, regarding to Art, highlighting main proposals developed with students of Elementary School I. Therefore, the following questions have also been delimited: Which senses are elaborated and constructed by the referred teachers about the teaching of Art? How to render as problematic and (re)signify them as from the collective analysis of teaching work? Starting with the research on education proposals, a qualitative study was performed, taking reflection and analysis of scientific texts as methodological procedures, official documents on teaching of Art. Faced with this, the didactic proposal of teachers, taking as an anchor the Cultural-Historical perspective ideas and studies of the “Art-Education” contributions. It was evidenced, as from the questioning activities offered to the students and theoretical contributions, that working with the Visual Arts was resized: the place of art in the weekly plan was reviewed, there was a greater concern on discussing the visual elements that constitute the work, historical contextualization of the art object and the artist himself, the emergence of didactic proposals, with broader creation possibilities by the students and the classroom reconfiguration, as a space to use art. Evidences can be verified on teacher’s reports, in the weekly plan and observations made by the researcher.
