Abstract(s)
O presente estudo pretende investigar estratégias de motivação para as Artes Visuais,
facilitadoras da escolha desta área como vocação profissional. Baseado num modelo de
investigação-ação, o projeto procura compreender os níveis motivacionais dos alunos que
frequentam as disciplinas de Educação Visual e de Desenho no Agrupamento de Escolas do
Fundão, onde foi realizado. Procura ainda aferir o impacto que a concretização de uma Obra
de Arte Urbana em Contexto Escolar pode trazer na motivação para as Artes Visuais (destes
alunos), sob o ponto de vista dos próprios alunos, dos professores, da comunidade escolar
(representada pelo diretor da escola) e da comunidade Fundanense em geral (representada
pela vereadora da cultura da CMF). Os resultados corroboram os de estudos prévios: os níveis
de motivação dos alunos para as Artes Visuais dependem, em muito, da interação entre
fatores individuais, sociais e ecológicos e a natureza da atividade. Os alunos escolhem as
Artes Visuais como curso vocacional porque acreditam que desenvolvem elevados níveis de
concentração, a possibilidade de dominar um vasto leque de técnicas artísticas e de intervir
ativamente na sociedade, pelo contributo que dão com a criação da sua obra. Um ambiente
escolar e social que desvalorize as Artes Visuais enquanto saída profissional funciona como
fator significativo de desmotivação. Atividades no âmbito das Artes Visuais, de que é exemplo
o desenho em grande dimensão, que reflitam a forte ligação emocional e liberdade de
expressão do aluno relativamente à sua obra, são determinantes na construção de
autoeficácia do aluno enquanto artista. Face a estes resultados, este projeto continuará com
a conclusão do segundo ciclo de investigação-ação, no sentido de efetuar uma aplicação
prática do observado no primeiro ciclo de investigação-ação: realização de uma Obra de Arte
Urbana no Edifício das Artes do Agrupamento de Escolas do Fundão como projeto catalisador
de competências individuais e artísticas, desenvolvidas a partir do domínio de técnicas
variadas, aplicadas em grande dimensão. Tal obra, ao criar um impacto visual a nível das
comunidades escolar e Fundanense, poderá servir como incentivo na escolha de uma carreira
artística nas Artes Visuais.
The present study aims at investigating strategies that may motivate students to follow a career in Visual Arts. Based on an action-research study design, this project aims at assessing the motivational levels of those students who attend Visual Arts Education courses at the school where this project is being carried out, i.e., Agrupamento de Escolas do Fundão. The study also reports the procedures for assessing the impact that a piece of Urban Art might have at this school, drawing conclusions from the perceptions of students, teachers, school director and the city’s cultural vice-council. The results corroborate those of previous investigations, indicating that students’ motivational levels much depend on the interaction of individual, social and ecological factors, as well as on the nature of the activities in which they are engaged. Students seem to choose Visual Arts as a vocational area, providing that it facilitates the development of higher concentration levels, learning expertise through the experimentation of a diverse range of artistic techniques and the possibility of actively engage with the educational and the city’s social environments. Educational institutions and living communities that transmit the idea that Visual Arts do not constitute a useful career are highly demotivating for these students. Artistic activities involving the creation of pieces of art of considerable dimensions, which also reflect the emotional engagement and the students’ artistic identity and expression are of paramount importance for keeping students highly motivated, as these act as promoters of artistic self-efficacy. Taking into account these results, the project will continue with a second action-research cycle, in which observations from the first action-research cycle here described can be applied: the realization of a piece of Urban Art in the art’s school building as the promoter of individual and artistic skills, developed through the experimentation of a variety of techniques applied in large dimensions. Such piece of Art may create a great visual impact on the school and city communities, which, in turn, might act as positive reinforcement for those who will decide to pursue an artistic career in Visual Arts.
