Abstract
We aim to present, analyze, and discuss the results obtained in an exploratory workshop with secondary-level art students centered in the sculpture O Desterrado by António Soares dos Reis, a sculptor who was a pensioner in Paris between 1867 and 1870, studying with professors like Jouffroy, Yvon and Taine. With this workshop, we intended to foster the ongoing research in Artistic Education’s field mediated by the museum. For many of us, the Louvre Museum is practically the synonymous of Gioconda; the Uffizzi Gallery is The Birth of Venus; and the Museu Nacional Soares dos Reis is O Desterrado, as symbols of iconicity. We took the latter as our object of study, reclaiming it from its absent status in dominant discourses, shaped by habit and the effect of belief, into a space of scientifically qualified and socially sustainable knowledge, in dialogue with the public. Addressing school-based policies, we search experience to reflect on and develop Ingold’s notion of work, considering it in educational practices as a “transmission” pedagogy, embedded in educational practices for “attention”. The workshop included drawing and creative writing exercises — the first focused on memory drawing, and the latter based on brainstorming through question listing — stimulating curiosity, participation, and inquiry around the artifact. The dialogue between this workshop and the research project, which includes mediation exercises and other planned actions, proved to be fertile, as it allowed us to observe reactions, emotions, interests and perspectives toward artifacts, as well as the relationship between schools and museums.
