Uma proposta pedagógica a partir da perspectiva artística sobre o observatório solar indígena

Abstract

This work brings a new look at the discussion of Brazilian art teaching, in particular, indigenous art, considered as the origin of national art (DARCY RIBEIRO, 1986). The arts even today are neglected in books or museums. In this context, this research has as its investigative question: how to explore an indigenous artifact, specifically, the Indigenous Solar Observatory - OSI, in teaching indigenous art in a museum? Our general objective is to “elaborate a non-formal art teaching proposal for the Astronomy area monitors of the Espaço Ciência Museum from an artistic perspective on the Indigenous Solar Observatory”. To this end, we conducted theoretical studies on the concept of art of Indian peoples, from authors such as Afonso e Silva Afonso e Silva (2012) and Darcy Ribeiro (1986); and the use of indigenous art in arts education, in Ana Mae Barbosa (1998, 1991, 2011), Darcy Ribeiro (1986) and Berta Ribeiro (1989). In addition, we have identified artistic aspects in OSI that can be adopted in Indian art teaching. The methodological research adopted in this work is qualitative, whose main factor is to examine the object of study (GERHARDT; SILVEIRA, 2009). Among the main results, we point out that the Observatory is a practical instrument used as a calendar, but it has a unique structure of Guarani culture, so it can be appreciated as a technological object, as usually happens in a science museum, but it can also be defined as indigenous art, as a headdress, ceramics, graphics, among others.
