Abstract

This research has as a general objective to investigate how the process of inclusion of PCD in an inclusive school takes place based on activities in Art and, as specific objectives, to know the reality faced by PCD students before the inclusive school and the special school; analyze how art activities can influence the process of inclusion and development of PCD. The theoretical framework included discussions about The Theater of the Oppressed, created by Augusto Boal, which helps to develop people's perception from actions learned on stage and lead learning to transform lives, and Ana Mae Barbosa's Triangular Approach, which developed a of the main methodologies used in art education. The methodological procedures adopted consisted of qualitative research from an observation stage in a regular school and research carried out in a special school. The data obtained indicated that art education is one of the proposers for the inclusion of PCD students. And, based on the discussions presented, it is considered that inclusion is one of the possible ways to fight social inequality, and that the activities in art developed contribute to the knowledge and appreciation of human life.
