Triangular Approach: zigzagging between an ideary and a rebuilding action to art education

Abstract

The art educator Ana Mae Barbosa organized and published together with Fernanda Pereira da Cunha the book Triangular Approach in the teaching of the arts and visual cultures (CORTEZ, 2010), in which she reviewed the twenty years of experiences with the Triangular Approach in the teaching of arts in Brazil. The book takes a look at some interpretations and reveals facets of this multiple Approach that comes from the 1980s and especially from 1990, supporting the most diverse practices in our educational context in art education. In this work we have as a horizon to discuss part of the epistemological trajectory of art / educator Ana Mae Barbosa to systematize the Triangular Approach, with special attention to the publication of her first book Theory and practice of Art Education, 1975, a period of transformations in the field of teaching of Art, with the law 5692/71 and the creation of Art Education courses.
