A educação pela arte e a conscientização ambiental: intervenções artísticas no rio Sucuri

Abstract

Based on the understanding of artistic intervention as an expression of Contemporary Art, in dialogue with environmental and sustainable issues, this work has as its premise to carry out artistic installations in the District of Campo Alegre, municipality of Paranã, state of Tocantins, to awaken environmental awareness and community in defense of the Sucuri River. For data collection, a field research was carried out with students of the 5th year of Elementary School, based on Barbosa's Triangular Approach (2010), at the Municipal School candid teacher. I highlight some questions that led to reflections with the teachers involved: how can artistic interventions contribute to the preservation of the Sucuri River? How can Contemporary Art discuss environmental issues? How do artists like Vik Muniz, Eduardo Srur and Francisco de Pájaro, who used garbage as a raw material to make art, contribute to the education of the eye and social awareness? Furthermore, based on the results of field research, the bibliographic review method guided and composed, in order to validate, the writing of this work.
