Abstract

This work concludes the way fulfilled along the master's degree in education in Visual Arts and focuses on the problems of the human face. The face is one of the themes treated in the discipline of Visual Education while a programmatic content. It's a sensitive topic, because it has been trivialized in the current society, centered on appearance and superficiality. The manipulation exerted by the media has led to a culture in which only the outer beauty is valued in benefit of economic interests. Well, we should not release from the objectives of the program and we intend to take the students to understand the true meaning of face and lead them to an ethical dimension in a recovery and humanization of this object of study. Through audiovisual media such as movies, presentations and pictures, practical work and discussions/dialogue, we crossed with the students the bridge that distances them from the humanist slope. It was made a pedagogical work with students, in order to make them aware to this issue. We believe that they have achieved and realized the true meaning of the face, valuing it more in a relation of respect and humanism, fostering what is beyond the outer beauty, at a depth of the human being. We also verify that this deepening of the meaning of the face had positive repercussions in the school profit of our pupils, particularly at the level of the visual representation.
