“Duas almas morando no mesmo corpo": a natureza artística de Elienai Moraes no ensino de artes visuais com crianças em Tracuateua-PA

Abstract

The movement of coming and going makes it possible to explore other territories, interact with different ways of interpreting everyday life, allowing us to think about the place itself, its culture and its modes of artistic expression. However, drawing the lines of this place requires unpacking the memories in which people, streets, houses, nature are interconnected in a kind of sensitive circuits between thoughts, interaction and action. The landscapes, paintings and drawings that define this research are made up of connections between the paintings of the artist Elienai Moraes – resident of the municipality of Tracuateua, in the interior of the state of Pará – and the didactic possibilities of graphic-visual development of children in the initial grades, through processes of interpretation and reading of landscapes painted by the researched artist, as an exercise in artistic practice. Thus, the main objective of the research was to investigate the artistic production of Elienai Moraes, with the aim of using this artist's production as a teaching resource for visual literacy for children in the 4th year of Elementary School, expanding the perspective of teaching Visual Arts with children, with the ultimate goal of creating a didactic catalog, bringing together the artist's main works, his biography and didactic procedures for working with landscape paintings in classes.
