Uma proposta interdisciplinar para o ensino de óptica envolvendo a representação de sombras e penumbras nas artes visuais

Abstract

In a didactic sequence of geometrical optics designed for high school student’s, the concepts of shadow and penumbra were introduced from photographs of graffiti found in urban art, particularly those bear the name of "Baycroc potatoes", chosen for creating the illusion of three-dimensionality using the representation of shadows. It was adopted as theoretical framework to Meaningful Learning Theory of Ausubel, and Data for the study were collected through a field diary, chronicling student’s reactions during the application of the didactic sequence.
