Abstract

This study approaches the Visual Representations of Canela-Ramkokramekrá peoples and brings a methodological proposal for the Basic Technical and Technological Education at IFMA/Campus Imperatriz. In general, the text analyses the history, culture and indigenous art in the Brazilian and Maranhão context, considering the intercultural perspective on the indigenous topic taught in the classroom. The general objective of the investigation is to elaborate a didactic material for the teaching Visual Arts through the material (basketwork, body paintings and props) produced by Canela- Ramkokamekrá peoples. This approach aims at promoting indigenous culture in Maranhão. Historically, this research considers the historical and cultural aspects of Brazilian and Maranhão indigenous people, focusing on Canela-Ramkokramekrá’s mode of life, traditions and daily life. Some of the historical aspects of teaching Visual Arts and indigenous culture were analyzed, putting into perspective the interculturality through a didactic-pedagogical proposal, considered as a viable way of teaching Arts in the Basic Technical and Technological Education IFMA/Campus Imperatriz. The study is based on the works of Alonso (1996), Barbosa (2014), Candau (2008), Geertz (1997), Franklin (2005), Luciano (2006), Rolande (2013, 2017), Silva (2014), Ribeiro (2000), Mellati (2006), Nimuendajú (1946), Crocker e Crocker (2009), Figueiredo (2012), Vidal (2000) and Urban (1992). The results of the research were obtained through interviews, participant observation, field diary notes and audiovisual records. The research intends to address new avenues on the teaching of Visual Arts and to contribute to the valorization of indigenous culture in the scholar space.
