This article is about the development of a production experience of a material for art made out of banana tree fiber as much as other vegetable fibers, papers and natural pigment, which stimulates its experiment in art classes. From this experiment our scope is to make people think about the potencialities of this material for the art creativity process, looking forward to the improvement of ecologic consciousness as well as widening the students’ aesthetic sensitiveness. The methodology used was an intervention in a scholl with students of the technical course on Agroecology, which was merged with the secondary school of the federal institute of Education in Cidade de Goiás – GO, during the conducing period in the internship. Throughout the activities, students participated in making paper with fibers from banana trees, they handled the materials and were exposed to theoretical classes on modern art, and they reached the art creation process by using natural pigments and hand-made paper. Data collecting was done through bservation, visual and writing record and also by applying a quiz to the students in order to check the meaning of the activities.
