A gravura como meio de expressão para os alunos da disciplina arte do IFG

Abstract

The present study has as its theme the engraving and its insertion in the national basic education, based on the second year of high school students of the Federal Institute of Goiás, Campus Cidade de Goiás. In this way, its object is delineated from the perception of the which is the engraving, and how it is present in elementary education, leading students to a project that works in this field of art. In order to emphasize that, even though it has been a constant process of evolution since its invention, the engraving is still moving slowly in reference to public schools in the field of art. This study is based on researches developed from books, electronic articles, magazines, and websites, as well as semi-structured interviews with the Goiás artists present in this work, and from a conversation with the students after the application of the project. Finally, the studies point to a certain divergence with regard to the beginning of the engraving, and points out that its history and its development depend on its techniques being in the hands of great artists throughout history, or even to be "privileged" by the fact not to be considered a threat in Brazil in the 1960s during the military administrations and thus to be one of the few cultural manifestations that obtain the support of the State. However, the struggle for the recognition of the engraving is still present, and despite all its history, it is still a medium that does not have incentives to promote it, and is still unknown by many students, which do not gives hope that his struggle and history will be more widely recognized, or even that a new generation of engravers will emerge.
