This thesis explores the theme of teaching/learning in Art in dialogue with the environment, with the research object on educational practices in Visual Arts articulated around the environmental axis. The main objective is to analyze how students from the Youth, Adult, and Elderly Education Program (EJAI) at Escola Bosque, in Outeiro (Belém-PA), express the theme of the environment and its ramifications through their artistic creation processes. The research is based on regional and national sociopolitical contexts, which are also influenced by the growing global concern regarding climate change, Amazon deforestation, the significant production of solid waste in urban centers, and ocean pollution caused by microplastics. Considering this scenario, the study proposes pathways grounded in Freirean pedagogy and the transversality of environmental issues,
with an emphasis on the United Nations (UN) 2030 Agenda. The adopted methodology has a qualitative and descriptive approach. The data collection instruments included logbook, questionnaires applied via Google Forms, a blog, teaching and lesson plans with artistic, aesthetic, and cultural experiences, as well as official documents such as the Statute and the Pedagogical Political Project of the Fundação Centro de Referência em Educação Ambiental Escola Bosque Professor Eidorfe Moreira (Funbosque), along with guidelines from the
Ministry of Education (MEC) and the Municipal Department of Education of Belém (Semec). During the research, artistic materials produced by EJAI students and the teacher, including photographs, paintings, drawings, and videos, were analyzed to understand how technical devices are used to record and express
the territorial marks of the environment in which they live. The study investigates whether these creations suggest lines of flight from prevailing forms and formats or merely reflect visual clichés. It is important to highlight that the classes took place in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2021, which required a revision
of the ways of teaching and learning Art, considering the challenges imposed by the pandemic scenario. These challenges demanded resilience and creativity to overcome the didactic-pedagogical, socioeconomic, and health-related difficulties of the period.
