O contributo da história da cultura e das artes para o ensino do desenho

Abstract

The final report has as object of study a problem, identified in context of the teaching Drawing, that is identified with the absence of cultural and artistic references of these students. The Humanistic Scientific Course of Visual Arts does not contemplate, until now, in its syllabus the discipline History of Culture and Arts. This curricular unit could represent an added value, since it could convey the diverse and different points of view, over time, on common contents and promote the critical capacity and creativity of each student, as well as stimulate the interest and understanding of the art. The methodology used here is based on the investigation and understanding of the problem, oriented towards the reflection and the change of pedagogical practices of the teaching of Drawing, with the approach to the History of Culture and Art. The activities selected in order to achieve the objectives described above will be deployed: in presentations, during class, examples of works of art. Exercises will be carried out to highlight the critical individual, social and cultural exercise of each student; in the development of cultural events, promoting a greater capacity of individual research and analysis of works; in the preparation of individual and group work, such as exhibitions, to stimulate the creativity of the students. These activities will be combined with the use of new methods in teaching design, with the use of images and visual technologies in order to enrich students' learning, as it allows students a more sustained reflection and, consequently, a more images. All of these teaching strategies and methodologies will aim to improve student performance in the subject of Design.
