Interculturality and visual arts teaching at Colégio Pedro II

Abstract

This paper presents a case study on the teaching of the visual arts in an attempt to understand the process of constructing a perspective of intercultural education in this school discipline in Colégio Pedro II. Through the analysis of curricular documents and interviews with teachers, in interlocution with the critical intercultural education and decolonization referenced in post-abyssal thought, it was verified that the construction of the intercultural perspective in the first segment of Elementary Education, produced in dialogue with the pedagogy of visual culture and the intercultural teaching of the visual arts, has occurred amid tensions and disputes with the defenders of the conception of traditional art education centered in the work of art, established predominantly in the second segment of Elementary Education. The final reflections point to the challenge of constructing a project of intercultural training of teachers of visual arts in friction with the Eurocentric systematization of art history that presides over the curricula of this discipline in basic school and in the courses of initial formation of teachers / at.
