Valorem: RPG no ensino de Artes Visuais

Abstract

This final graduation work deals with the elaboration of a theoretical and practical research about the development of the role - playing game (RPG) called Valorem and how its use can contribute to the teaching of visual arts from the experiences within the Laboratory of Initiation in Arts and Creativity, located at the Federal University of Santa Maria. In order to think about the education from the experiences with games of interpretation, the idea of Kastrup (1999) is used, with the concept of invention as processes of invention of itself and the world, and Larrosa (2011) with the concept of experience, being this a qualitative and cartographic research. The purpose of this research is to adopt a strategy where the games of interpretation can be used as an inventive learning process tool in the relation of the arts, narratives and artistic making. The problem in question of this research is: How can the use of the games of interpretation (Valorem) potentiate the teaching of the Visual Arts in the art school (LICA) of UFSM? At the moment the student is in his own character and world, he is allowed not only to produce visual arts, but also also invent another way of perceiving and relating to the things around him. In this research, one finds as product the game created during the period of teaching, as well as its narrative, interpretative and powerful elements called Valorem. It is a powerful tool for the use of the visual arts, either in the development of the potentiality for the invention of images or in the invention of oneself.
