Arts teaching in Parintins' public schools

The aim of this study was to investigate the current state of art teaching in school education in some schools in the municipality of Parintins, located in the state of Amazonas, and which methodological approaches are used by the teachers who teach it, given that the schools surveyed do not have teachers with a degree in art to teach the subject. The methodology used in this research was a case study, with questionnaires used as a data collection tool. The theoretical basis for this work was Pcn/Arte (1997), Ferraz and Fusari (1992), Barbosa (2008), among others. As a result, it was noted that Art Teaching still faces impasses in the school environment, such as its devaluation as a compulsory curricular subject.
