A estética do olhar: o ensino da fotografia sob o prisma do pensamento complexo

Abstract

This assignment aims to discuss the teaching of photography as part of the Artistic Education matter content. It intends to offer arguments or subsidies to show that the photography, besides enriching, significantly, the contents of high school, can stimulate the communication, creativity and development of the critical spirit of the subject. Its theoretical research is based on the complex thought in the light of the epistemologo Edgar Morin, who considers that the way one thinks can be changed by means of transdiscipline education. The theory of the complexity will contribute to emphasize the importance of the arts in the self-improvement of the student that is homo complexus, besides establishing the relations and interconnections between photographic art, complexity and education, considering the whole and the parts of the image conception. In regard to the photography itself this piece of work is based also on the knowledge and experience of Boris Kossoy towards mainly the theory and esthetics of the photographic art, the historical and social research through its iconography and to the inquiry of the history of the photograph in Brazil and Latin America. All this bases and aspects will contribute to the development of the study on the importance of the photography teaching, considering the relation between daily and history and the effective and significant presence of the pupil who s sometimes the product and sometimes the producer of his reality before the photographic conception.
