Brinquedos ópticos e o cinema de animação em aulas de arte

Abstract

This research aimed to investigate how animation cinema is able to generate enjoyment and knowledge in art. Thus, we propose to carry out a pedagogical intervention, through a workshop on animation cinema, in a class of 5th grade students, in a private school, in the city of Paudalho-PE. This workshop aimed to generate knowledge about animation cinema and optical toys as a means of learning in art. In this sense, the analysis of the workshop results was made through observations and comments from the students and their answers to a questionnaire, which we applied. The theoretical framework included discussions about the history of animation and learning through creation, reflecting on experiences performed in other contexts. We take the triangular approach, created by art educator Ana Mae, as the basis for the development of the workshop, contemplating the three pillars of art: historical contextualization, artistic making and artistic appreciation. The results of this experience obtained from student reports and information on practices by other authors indicated that it is possible to create animation in art classes with the aid of technology. The language of cinema combined with the learning and making of proposed optical toys gave students the opportunity to reflect on various themes, especially art, developing new knowledge.
