Teaching Brazilian History in Visual Arts classes: possible insertions

Abstract

This study discusses the possibilities of including teaching Brazilian History in Visual Arts classes for high school classes and the final years of elementary school. To this end, a survey was carried out in order to offer a brief history of dress and fashion studies, especially in Brazil. Based on this panorama, research possibilities were identified in the field of Art History, taking the representation of clothing as a key to reading images. The visual sources listed to support the discussion were the works of traveling artists visiting Rio de Janeiro in the early 19th century.
