Desmistificar para emancipar: exercício de imaginação para uma escola ideal

Abstract

This report presents itself as a reflection upon the work developed during the internship carried in the Artistic and Professional School Árvore, in the academic year of 2020 / 2021. In the context of the Technic Design and Graphic Analysis discipline, it became possible to experience new work methodologies that we thought would empower emancipation. Furthermore, by embracing the place of the Ignorant Master before a group of youngsters from the first year of the Digital Drawing course, it was proposed to them the exercise of a collaborative model of the Ideal City, its discussion, conception, execution, presentation, and public debate. Through a practice close to artistic production, the participants began and finished a project, carrying out a whole, therefore summoning theory, praxis and poesis. Thus, analyzing School as a place where learning, seizure and the dissemination of myths happen, we believe that the students' engagement in the conception of the world arrives as a possible way towards the Ideal School. The School we idealize as an utopic imagination exercise that pushes us forward to the daring transformation.
