Outdoor artistic productions: paintings and modeling by children's hands

Abstract

This study is the result of the Research and Internship discipline: Early Childhood Education, which had as an internship proposal to build a context of experience to be carried out outdoors. Based on the proposal, we built the context “Artistic productions in the open air: paintings and modeling by children's hands,” which aimed to promote children's participation in a free way; explore various materials offered in the space and develop children's authorship and aesthetic training. The work with art in Early Childhood Education promotes, through multiple languages, authorship and expression of babies and children. The internship was carried out as a research in an early childhood education institution, in the city of Guanambi-Bahia, which serves classes from the 1st to the 4th period. It was divided into three moments: classroom discussions,  observation  and  intervention. The internship as a  research gave  us  the  opportunity  to  live,  play and interact with children, as well as getting to know the educational  practices of  Early  Childhood Education. It was a significant moment of formation, reflection and dialogue between the university and the early childhood education institution. The artistic productions revealed that each child and productions are unique and that they bring a lot of themselves, the context in fact contributed to creativity and imagination.
