VASCONCELOS, Rafaella Lira Silva dos Santos de and WIGGERS, Ingrid Dittrich. Art in the park schools of Brasilia: conceptions of pedagogical practices. R. Bras. Est. Pedag. [online]. 2020, vol.101, n.259, pp.547-566. ISSN 2176-6681. https://doi.org/10.24109/2176-6681.rbep.101i259.3870.
This article aims to explore the conceptions of art education that permeate the pedagogical work in the park schools of Brasilia. Through a systematic review of national academic production in the form of theses, dissertations, books and book chapters, eighteen relevant studies were identified between 1960 (the year of the foundation of the first park school in Brasilia) and 2017. Texts by John Dewey and Anísio Teixeira, whose thoughts gave shape to these institutions, were used in order to help analyze the aforementioned studies. It was possible to identify three conceptions of art teaching through this analysis: a) as a reference to a new pedagogical perspective for national education; b) as an interlacing element between cultures in order to create an identity for the city of Brasilia and; c) as a mediator of self-expression, freedom, resistance and emancipation.
