Desenho de memória: um método imersivo no ensino das Artes Visuais no Liceu de Artes e Ofícios Claudio Santoro

Abstract

This dissertation aimed to develop an immersive method using memory drawing as a technique in the creative process to enhance the teaching of visual arts with students of the Techniques and Processes in Visual Arts course, based on an experience carried out at the Claudio Santoro Arts and Crafts High School in Manaus/AM. The study stemmed from the problem related to the difficulties faced by students who, although demonstrating technical mastery in drawing and painting, encounter obstacles in the construction of an original production, evidencing creative blocks and dependence on external references. Methodologically, this is a qualitative, interventional research that articulated action research and narrative research, involving practical classes, immersive workshops, interviews, and artistic productions. Nine students from the Techniques and Processes in Visual Arts course participated in the study, whose experiences were analyzed based on their narratives, experiences, and works produced before and after the application of the method. The results indicated that memory drawing, by mobilizing personal, affective, and sensory experiences, favored creative unlocking, expanded the symbolic repertoire, and contributed to the development of an authorial poetics. Furthermore, it was evident that valuing subjectivity in the teaching-learning process enabled a more meaningful, critical, and sensitive artistic education. It is concluded that the proposed immersive method constituted a powerful alternative for teaching visual arts, integrating technique, memory, and creation, promoting not only artistic skills but also processes of self-knowledge and expression.
