Ensino de arte na educação de surdos: uma abordagem na escola bilíngue

Abstract

The teaching of art, in the early years of Elementary School, presents the four languages (Visual Arts, Dance, Music, and Theater) in an integrated way and from a playful perspective. The study aims to analyze the teaching of art in the education of deaf children from the bilingual school perspective. The research is qualitative and interpretive. A teacher and seven students from a deaf bilingual school in Paraná participated in the study. The data were analyzed using a qualitative approach. The data collection instruments were observation, interviews and application of activities, analyzed from the perspective of content analysis.It was concluded that the teaching of art for deaf students must occur from the beginning of their schooling. Through this art, they find a way to effect their communication, their demonstration of feelings, and a construction of meanings much more significant than that they would do only using Sign Language. It is highlighted the importance of teaching art within the classrooms of a bilingual school and how much this subject can contribute to the educational development of students with deafness. The Arte Surda material was developed as an Educational Product, inspired by the works of the deaf painter Nancy Rourke, it was organized into three study units that investigate concepts of teaching Art in Elementary School, and which can serve as support material for the school community.
