A natureza e o fantástico através da experiência visual / -

Assumpção, Flora Romanelli 06 November 2014 (has links)
Este projeto artístico equivalente à dissertação para o mestrado em poéticas visuais é composto pela documentação do processo criativo, que é em si o mestrado em poéticas visuais, e por uma pequena seleção de fotogravuras originais da série \'Pequeno Compêndio dos Mares\'. A documentação consiste em três partes: primeira, registro de obras e exposições já realizadas e obras em processo; segunda, notas visuais e de texto; e última, uma seleção de trabalhos precedentes ao período do mestrado. A organização desta documentação do processo artístico foi feita priorizando o conjunto das imagens e considerando a linguagem visual como uma linguagem diversa e do mesmo valor da verbal, pois que assim como a palavra, o visual opera através de raciocínios intelectuais e sensíveis - e pode estar na universidade sendo debatido por artistas que trabalham com esta linguagem, medido dentro das particularidades da visualidade. Portanto apresento o registro e as obras materializadas como parte de um processo onde reflexão e fazer são o mesmo ato criativo e cuja complexidade intelectual existe desvinculada da necessidade da articulação pela palavra e independente de uma tese pré-formulada verbalmente, os textos aqui cumprem outra função: relacionam interesses, técnicas e influências temáticas de outras áreas do conhecimento. / This artistic project, equivalent to the Master dissertation in visual arts, is composed by the documentation of the creative process, which is itself the Master degree in Visual Arts, as well as a small selection of photoengraving originals entitled \"Small Compendium of the Seas\". The documentation consists in three parts: first, art works and record of past exhibits and works in progress; second, visual and text notes; and last, selection of works preceding the period of Masters in Visual Arts. The organization of the documentation of the artistic process was made by prioritizing the body of work and considering the visual language as a diverse language but with the same legitimacy of verbal language, as well to the word, the visual knowledge operates through intellectual and sensible reasoning - and may be in the university being debated by artists who work with this language, measured within the particularities of visuality. Therefore I present the record and the materialized art works as part of a process where thinking and doing are the same creative act and in which intellectual complexity exists detached from the necessity of articulating word and independent of a pre-formulated verbal thesis, the texts here have another function: related interests, techniques and thematic influences from other areas of knowledge.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Sidney Gomes Campanhole.pdf: 3867165 bytes, checksum: 89dc38643dbfa9e95b84ea8b35ca166f (MD5) Previous issue date: 2015-09-21 / The signs of lack of quality among the public education area, that can be noticed through researches, shown by the media speech, shared among the social media and mostly when we face people inserted in this area, it can't be credited to the teachers's efficiency, to the student's social behavior and reality or to the teaching institutions, because it demands a review of the communication processes, language production and their supports, that surround us and affect the cognition behavior, case in point, the visual area. This paper starts from studies on visual language pratices, regarding new technology supports, exactly those that make images through direct light emission and the decrease of the visual area. The quantitative and qualitative analysis was made through collected material and questionaries presented to a group of students from the public teaching area in the state of São Paulo. I chose this sample because of a pre-study and an in loco passive image production behavior, because of the predominance of narrative language as a result of teaching and learning pratices, regarding efforts on the argumentative function, specially when the educational context suggests a relation between verbal and visual aspects, the interpretation of diagrams and a filmic material, in order to qualify teaching practices. This research, after diagnosises on a week basis, kept going on from the analysis to the orientation bases, laws, acts and others, regarding teaching and learning in the state area that in a way approaches the visual cognition. In order to support the theory approached during this paper, it was used concepts from the Pieirce philosophy (semiose, hábito, percepção, memória, e as categorias cenopitagóricas) because it regards language and cognition phenomenon, which epistemological support identifies, explains and project actions, diagnostics and predictions in the visualization relation and technological supports amoung learning actions. In order to do so, it was necessary to create limits to the visual language, based on phenomenological categories in order to extract categories and create syntatic and morphologic topics inferred by Gestalt de Marx Wertheimer and the visual processes approached by the neuro science. In a conclusion, the initial fase was reapproached and the visual cognition was checked, expressed by the production of the visual language population sample. The method used to the diagnosis was research questionary, processing data considering the quantitative mode and power impact analysis of different forms of interpretation through the observation of the group behavior; it was concluded that new visualization supports insist on applying certain visual syntax topics, mobilize warning states and exponentialy value the narrative function and create social behaviors such as the virtual socialization in comparison to the formal one / Os sinais de falta de qualidade na rede de ensino pública, notados através de pesquisas, sentidos nos discursos da mídia, compartilhados nas redes de internet e, principalmente, quando deparamos com os cognoscentes dessa cultura de aprendizagem, não podem ser creditados apenas à eficiência de professores, comportamento e realidade sociais dos alunos ou instituições de ensino, mas urgem de uma necessidade de rever como os processos de comunicação, produção de linguagem e os respectivos suportes, que nos circundam, afetam comportamento cognitivo, neste caso, o visual. O presente trabalho parte de um diagnóstico levantado sobre práticas de linguagem visual no tocante a novos suportes tecnológicos, exatamente aqueles que constituem a imagem por emissão direta da luz e redução do campo visual. A análise quantitativa e qualitativa foi realizada sobre o material coletado e questionário-pesquisa junto de um grupo de alunos da rede de ensino pública do Estado de São Paulo. A opção por essa amostragem decorreu da constatação pré-estudo e in loco de um comportamento passivo na produção de imagens, da predominância da função da linguagem narrativa como produto de práticas de ensino aprendizagem, em detrimento dos esforços para a função argumentativa, justamente quando o contexto educacional propõe a intertextualidade verbal-visual, a interpretação de diagramas e arsenal fílmico para qualificar práticas de ensino. O percurso da pesquisa, após diagnóstico seminal, seguiu da análise às bases orientadoras, leis, decretos e outros, sobre ensino aprendizagem na rede estadual que, de algum modo, referenciam a visualidade e a cognição. Para subsidiar o tratamento cientifico na compreensão desta problematização, recorreu-se a conceitos da Filosofia de Peirce (semiose, hábito, percepção, memória, e as categorias cenopitagóricas) por tratar-se de um fenômeno da linguagem e cognição, cujo suporte epistemológico identifica, explica e projeta ações, quiçá, diagnósticas e prognósticas na relação visualidade e suportes tecnológicos nas ações de aprendizagem. Para tanto, houve a necessidade de delimitar a linguagem visual, com base nas categorias fenomenológicas para extrair categorias e engendrar tópicos sintáticos e morfológicos inferidos pelo postulado da Gestalt de Marx Wertheimer e os processos visuais estudados pelas Neurociências. Por fim, a fase inicial foi retomada e verificada a conduta da cognição visual, expressa na produção de linguagem visual da população de amostra. O método para diagnóstico foi questionário pesquisa, com tratamento de dados sob o modo quantitativo e análise de potência de impacto de variantes nas interpretações através de observação de conduta do grupo; apontou-se que novos suportes da visualidade insistem no emprego de determinados tópicos da sintaxe visual, mobilizam estados de atenção e valoram exponencialmente a função narrativa, além de gerarem comportamentos sociais como a socialização virtual em prejuízo do presencial

Vejo logo simbolizo! Uma abordagem semiótica da percepção da linguagem visual

Campanhole, Sidney Gomes 11 October 2006 (has links)
Made available in DSpace on 2016-04-26T18:15:59Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 COS - Sidney Gomes Campanhole.pdf: 2113874 bytes, checksum: 74290ea52035863af303ec2f847e1d1e (MD5) Previous issue date: 2006-10-11 / Secretaria da Educação do Estado de São Paulo / The present work has as its objective the study of the perceptive apprehensions of visual language, which in this case is the one systematized in the classroom. Starting from the epistemology of the Peircean Semiotics, one proposes to review the discussion between innatists and empiricists on perception, which from Philosophy extends to Psychology in the 20th century. It places the source of systematized learning in the classroom and takes perception as tangible matter in the language produced. The perceptive development perspectives implicit in the evolution of the Visual Arts and children s drawing are analyzed synthetically for verification of congruence points. The profile regarding school praxis, observed as language, allows verifying its accommodation in the area of Art education and submission to non-verbal language classifications. The study seeks to question the innate question, the gift, that the paths of school praxis and the cultural environment restrict visual language. It proposes to subsidize future discussions on qualitative relations in the phenomenon of Communication, from a more qualitative apprehension of its language. Given the sign-perception focus, and consequently, language-cognition, one seeks to compare the idiosyncratic visions of visual language acquisition. For this purpose, it dialogues with the theory of multiple intelligences that reinforces the interaction between medium and genetic determinism. The main hypothesis is the displacement of existing learning activities, or in case they are not existent, then those to be developed from the predominance of the third category must dislocate to the second category, that is, from apprehension of legi-signs for the sin-sign. The visual language to be learned required the definition of the aspects of syntax and morphology, given that for such a dialogue was articulated between the principles of ordination of perceptive structures proposed by Gestalt and its variations. The experimental character of the research fell into groups of students of two segments of the school system, whose verifications did not establish relation between them, taking as variable the before-after of each group. One submitted to the apprehension of morphology and the other to syntax. The conclusion based on the research states that perception occurs at the moment and in a mediated way. As long as the first one might produce reorganizations of the sign at the duration of the process of keeping , the second one tends to generate associating processes that, in fact, make the relations with the object analised distant from its existence, limitating the visual language learning / O presente trabalho tem como objeto as apreensões perceptivas da linguagem visual, no caso, aquela que é sistematizada nos bancos escolares. Partindo de conceitos da Semiótica Peirciana, propõe-se rever a discussão sobre a percepção entre inatistas e empíricistas, que, da Filosofia, se estendem até a Psicologia do século XX. Situada a fonte de aprendizagem sistematizada nos bancos escolares, toma-se a percepção como matéria tangível na linguagem produzida. Analisam-se sinteticamente as perspectivas de desenvolvimento perceptivo implícito na evolução das Artes Visuais e no desenho infantil para verificação de pontos de congruência. O recorte sobre as práxis escolares, observadas como linguagem, permite verificar a sua acomodação na área da Arte educação e sua submissão a classificações de linguagem não verbal. O estudo procura questionar a questão inata, o dom, a que os percursos da práxis escolar e o ambiente cultural restringem a linguagem visual. A pesquisa pretende subsidiar futuras discussões sobre relações qualitativas no fe nômeno da Comunicação Visual, a partir de apreensão mais qualitativa de sua linguagem. Dado o enfoque signo-percepção e, conseqüentemente, linguagem-cognição, procura-se contrapô- los às visões idiossincráticas da aquisição da linguagem visual. Para isso o trabalho dialoga com a teoria das inteligências múltiplas que reforça a interação entre meio e determinismo genético. A hipótese central é que as atividades de aprendizagem existentes, sob a predominância da terceira categoria, devem se deslocar para a segunda categoria, ou seja, da apreensão dos legisignos para o sinsigno. A linguagem visual a ser aprendida exigiu a definição dos aspectos da sintaxe e da morfologia, sendo que, para tanto, se articulou um diálogo entre os princípios de ordenação das estruturas perceptivas propostas pela Gestalt e suas variantes. A parte experimental e empírica da pesquisa incidiu em grupos de discentes de dois segmentos da rede de ensino, tomando como variável o antes-depois de cada grupo. Um submetido à apreensão da mo rfologia e outro da sintaxe. Através desta pesquisa foi concluído que a percepção ocorre de modo imediato e mediado. Enquanto o primeiro pode gerar reorganizações do signo no percurso da apreensão, o segundo tende a gerar assimilações que distanciam da relação existencial com o objeto, limitando a aprendizagem da linguagem visual

A lógica heurística/persuasiva do design gráfico / The heuristic/persuasive logic of graphic design

Araújo, Eduardo Fernandes 10 May 2005 (has links)
Made available in DSpace on 2016-04-26T18:16:20Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Eduardo Fernandes.pdf: 6637168 bytes, checksum: ca69e5e9e82abb77e589c74ee2f87c05 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2005-05-10 / This research comes from the author s personal experience in teaching and practicing graphic design. During that while, some inquiries have risen related to the criteria of persuasion assumed by designers when making their visual designs. Which values do designers claim to select and recode visual signs into visual messages that convey persuasion? Today design methodologies do not include any explicit concern about issues linked to the persuasiveness inside graphic design, neither in Brazil nor abroad.The aim of this work is to bring back the consciousness of Design as the language of cultural intervention in space, by planning a strategy within which the design-making, as well as the design-reading, will be collected in order to let us aware of its functioning. As case study, the research takes 9 (nine) graphic designs addressed to stand for visual identities. Description and analysis of the designers criteria to prefer visual signs have been rigorously done on the case studies, in an eleven-month basis. The step forward is to decant both perceptive and cognitive categories that seem to authorize persuasiveness to be included into designing procedures, qua that coefficient answerable to logically articulate, aesthetically provide and ethically join together all other factors of design efficiency.The investigation is funded on the mindwalk invitation offered by the Charles S. Peirce s methodological pragmatism, as well as the existential perspective of José Ortega y Gasset s ratiovitalism, to a shy extent for the time being. The chapter flow of this dissertation is shaped according to the triadic aspect of semiosis: the candid-gaze (on firstness and sign), the reporting-gaze (on secondness and object), and the critical-gaze (on thirdness and interpretant). Through that phenomenological-semiotic filter, we are already able to roughly endorse a philosophical basement of Design qua Science: the science of grounds, relations and processes of all our cultural intervention in space.Surely, this Masters final paper has not exhausted the question yet, but the démarche has revealed the possibility of a better comprehension of those factors that converge into design efficiency: a feasibility that crosses over the graphic design boundaries towards a search for the metaphysical sameness of Design, by coming up with some elements that could enrich, from this Masters viewpoint, the debate long ago sought after on the building of a general theory or even a Philosophy of Design. / Esta pesquisa nasceu da experiência pessoal do autor no ensino e prática projetual do design gráfico, em cujo devir surgiram indagações acerca dos critérios de persuasão utilizados pelos designers na feitura de seus projetos visuais. Com base em que valores os signos visuais são selecionados e recodificados para incorporar uma mensagem visual persuasiva? As metodologias projetuais vigentes não contemplam preocupação explícita alguma com as questões relativas à persuasividade dos projetos gráficos, nem no Brasil nem no exterior.O objetivo desta dissertação é o planejamento da tática baseada na qual o fazer-design, assim como o ler-design, será trazido ao choque do apercebimento, ao resgate da consciência do Design como a linguagem de intervenção cultural no espaço. A pesquisa adota como estudos de caso 9 (nove) projetos de design gráfico dirigidos à construção de identidades visuais, sobre os quais foram empreendidas, com rigor metodológico durante 11 (onze) meses, a descrição e a análise dos critérios preferidos pelos designers na escolha dos signos visuais dos projetos. Deste procedimento primevo foram decantadas as categorias perceptivas e cognitivas que parecem autorizar a inclusão da persuasividade no procedimento da projetação, como aquele coeficiente que logicamente articula, esteticamente propicia e eticamente unifica todos os demais fatores de eficiência do design.A investigação toma como basilar o convite ao pensamento oferecido pelo pragmatismo metodológico de Charles S. Peirce e, ainda em menor escala de influência, pela perspectiva existencialista do raciovitalismo de José Ortega y Gasset. O itinerário capitular dessa dissertação considera o aspecto triádico da semiose: o olhar-apreço (sobre a primeiridade e o signo), o olhar-relato (sobre a segundidade e o objeto) e o olhar-crítica (sobre a terceiridade e o interpretante). Sob tal filtro fenomenológico-semiótico, já é possível esboçar um endosso filosófico do Design como Ciência: a ciência dos fundamentos, relações e processos de toda projetação, sendo esta entendida como nossa intervenção cultural no espaço.Certamente, esta dissertação de mestrado ainda não exauriu a questão, mas a caminhada revelou a possibilidade de melhor compreensão sistêmica dos fatores que concorrem para a eficiência projetual: uma exeqüibilidade que atravessa o universo visioprojetual em busca de uma mesmidade metafísica do Design, fazendo emergir elementos que, segundo a ótica deste trabalho, podem enriquecer o debate sobre a futura formação, há muito coletivamente desejada, de uma teoria geral ou Filosofia do Design.

O apelo comunicativo da embalagem: estudo semiótico das embalagens de água mineral

Ogasawara, Luís Alexandre Fernandes 22 September 2009 (has links)
Made available in DSpace on 2016-04-26T18:18:08Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Luis Alexandre Fernandes Ogasawara.pdf: 9774217 bytes, checksum: eab12a7758765b926a54ee60df6c64d7 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2009-09-22 / Being sure that the formal constitution of a package is the result of several factors, like manufacturig process, features of the material used in such process, cost, ergonomy, among others, it is presupposed that the study of Packaging Design may be approached under many points of view. Thus, this research aims to study packaging design under the comunication dimension, as an element mediating the product inside the package and the consumer. Such communication takes place in peculiar space and time conditions, competing with several other stimuli during fractions of seconds of the consumer s attention in the point of sale. In such a context, for a package to be successful in its persuasive function, the package designer should link the elements in a space which would be limited, on the one hand, by the category language (to prevent the product s mischaracterization), and on the other, by the innovative features which will make it outstanding before its rival products. To fulfill the goal of this research, a historic outline of packaging and its evolution, ending both in Post-Industrial Revolution Period and its cultural consequences, will be necessary. The Consumer Society, by Jean Baudrillard, and The Society of the Spectacle, by Guy Debord and some of their unfoldments will be the basis for this research. As to the study of such a varied spectrum of communication theories which focus packaging in its communication prospect, this work intends to be guided by distinct theoretic basis, among which Shannon s, Wieners and Moles s mathematic approach of Information Theory, so as to make it possible to talk of the persuasive performance of package, linked to the concepts of redundance and innovation. Peirce s Semiotic Theory will also contribute with subsides for the the analysis of dialogues between form and content. The body of this research will be composed of mass consuming goods packages, specifically up to 510-mililiter volume mineral water, in a moment in which the segment is coming through an increasing specialization degree, making it convenient to review some patterns that, in a certain way, fill up the visual language of such packages. This fact, which is due to the need to communicate new attributes of the products, is a marketing phenomenon with communication implications and it is very rich when it is studied / Na certeza de que a configuração formal de uma embalagem é decorrência de diversos fatores, como processo de fabricação, características do material com o qual é fabricada, custo, ergonomia, entre outros, pressupõe-se que o estudo do Design de Embalagens pode ser realizado sob diversas óticas. O presente trabalho visa estudar o assunto sob a ótica comunicacional, como elemento mediador da relação entre o produto nela contido e o consumidor. Esta comunicação se dá em condições peculiares de espaço e tempo, competindo com diversos outros estímulos por frações de segundos de atenção do consumidor no ponto de venda. Neste contexto, para que uma embalagem obtenha êxito em sua função persuasiva, o designer de embalagens deve articular os elementos em um espaço delimitado de um lado pela linguagem da categoria - de modo a não descaracterizar o produto que contém e, do outro, pela inovação que irá destacá-lo de seus concorrentes. Para a consecução desta investigação será necessária uma breve reconstrução do histórico da embalagem, de modo a traçar sua evolução, que culmina no momento pós- Revolução Industrial e suas consequências culturais. Para tanto serão utilizadas as teorias da Sociedade do Consumo, de Baudrillard e da Sociedade do Espetáculo, de Debord, e alguns de seus principais desdobramentos. Quanto ao estudo do variado espectro das teorias da comunicação, contextualizando a embalagem como apelo comunicativo, ele se orientará por distintas bases teóricas, dentre as quais se destaca a abordagem matemática da Teoria da Informação de Shannon, Wiener e Moles, de modo a possibilitar a discussão acerca da performance persuasiva da embalagem, imbricada aos conceitos de inovação e redundância, e a Teoria Semiótica de Peirce, que fornecerá subsídios para a análise dos diálogos que se estabelecem entre conteúdo e continente. O corpus da pesquisa será composto por embalagens de bens de consumo de massa, mais especificamente de água mineral com volume de até 510 mililitros, justamente em um momento no qual o segmento vem passando por um crescente grau de especialização, revelando-se conveniente a revisão de alguns paradigmas que, de certa forma, impregnam a linguagem visual dessas embalagens. Este fato, que surge da necessidade de comunicar os novos atributos desses produtos, constitui um fenômeno mercadológico com implicações comunicacionais bastante rico ao ser estudado

Pictography embedded in traditional African decorated walls and floors as an early cultural language : the case of three languages in Limpopo province

Nhlangwini, Andrew Dandheni 07 1900 (has links)
The colonial era brought about Western civilisation, industrialisation, urbanisation and technology that led to the negation of the validity of the traditional wall decorations and the meaning behind what is understood as merely decorative shapes and parttens. To research as to whether this is true, the aim of this study is to establish whether the symbols applied on the traditional African murals have any linguistic significance. The research investigated the pictography embedded in the traditional murals of three linguistic groups, namely the Balobedu, Vatsonga and Vhavenda in Limpopo Province. The researcher gathered and recorded from the surviving elders the vital codes which unlock the meaning of signs, symbols, colours and geometric shapes before the knowledge is lost forever when they die. Data was collected mainly from Vatsonga female elders in their homes by using unstructured interviews. Traditional huts are decorated with symbols, signs, shapes, lines, and colours on the maguva (walls around the courtyard), mavala ya nghotsa (design and patterns, mainly in repeated half circles (figures 26 to 35)), mabilomu/swiluva/ swiphaswana (calabash/gourd flowers), ku sindza hi makholo (patterned cow dung floor) and ku tsema (coloured bands around the hut), depicted in figures 12 to 15. According to the respondents, the maphapha (calabashes/gourds) is a symbol for the plant that feeds the people. The plant from which maphapha are made, has heart-shaped green leaves and yellow flowers that develop into a calabash/gourd, which are consumed as food (figures 10–11). In this sense, it represents a woman and her responsibilities as carer and life giver. The results affirm that the pictography is not merely a reproduction of common decorative patterns, but is instead the source of an ancient visual expressive language carried down from generation to generation through oratory and visual narratives in the form of symbols, and signs. The study recommends the preservation of the linguistic significance of the traditional South African murals that have long been marginalised, possibly encouraging the younger generations to review their own history. / African Languages / D.

Perceptual-cognitive Properties of Pictures, Diagrams, and Sentences: Toward a Science of Visual Information Design

Coppin, Peter 27 March 2014 (has links)
Right now you are reading a sentence. Earlier, you might have been looking at a realistic picture, such as a photograph, or an outline drawing in a set of instructions. If you are a programmer, you work with sentence-like structures, such as code, or a system diagram. These are all graphic representations. To varying degrees, the effectiveness of every graphic representation relies on its ability to convey the designer’s intended meaning and elicit the intended reaction from its audience. However, the design of graphic representations, even in technical domains such as visual programming language design or interactive information visualization, currently relies heavily on general principles based solely on practice, intuition, and informal measures of effectiveness from the applied art and craft of design (as opposed to scientific analysis or theory). There is an increasing demand for a scientific understanding of design and its evaluation from stakeholders (who seek evidence for effectiveness) and designers (who seek to advance their field). Because both the creation of graphic displays and their perception are literally embodied experiences, a model was developed with an embodiment orientation, specifically based on how graphics are perceptually and cognitively processed. In my research, I found that graphic representations are constituted of two properties, pictorial and symbolic information, that emerge through two interrelated aspects of perception. In sighted individuals, for example, every graphic representation makes use of biological capabilities to process visual sensation (i.e., light hitting the retina), which are processed in relation to culturally-learned capabilities (i.e., writing). I observed how graphic representations – such as pictures, diagrams, and sentences – are “naturally selected” (i.e., during different phases of design or problem solving). From these observations, I developed a model that distinguishes and predicts the effectiveness of pictures, diagrams, and sentences, in terms of how object relations and attributes are pictorially or symbolically represented, relative to the functional roles of those representations, contexts, and in some cases, individual perceptual-cognitive differences among perceivers. This model is a step toward a science of graphics that could lead to evaluation techniques for information systems, theories for inclusive design, and ergonomically designed software programming tools.

O filosofar na arte da criança surda : construções e saberes

Caldas, Ana Luiza Paganelli January 2006 (has links)
Esta dissertação analisou como se deu o filosofar na arte das crianças surdas e na busca por práticas estéticas visuais no processo da construção deste filosofar. Para isto, foram realizadas entrevistas (individuais e coletivas) com 10 sujeitos surdos de uma escola municipal de surdos de Gravataí no Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, onde foram apresentadas algumas pinturas dos artistas Da Vinci, Picasso, Portinari e Baird (artista surdo). O objetivo foi o de provocar uma reflexão destes sujeitos, a partir de experiências estéticas, no sentido de que cada um pudesse expressar seus saberes, praticar a vivência do olhar, trazendo suas hipóteses e compreensões sobre as pinturas, observando como estas experiências podiam colaborar para a construção dos filosofares na arte dos sujeitos surdos. Os principais pressupostos teóricos foram os estudos de Michael J. Parsons sobre os níveis estéticos de compreensão da arte, que foram tabulados e sistematizados para uma melhor análise qualitativa dos dados, proposta metodológica optada para a pesquisa. Marly Meira e Walter Kohan perpassam a pesquisa como os alicerces da criação filosófica e o pensar sobre o pensar. Destaco também os estudos de Duarte para a educação do sensível e de Pillar na educação para o olhar. Pôde-se constatar que houve uma notável relação entre as experiências estéticas e os diálogos com a possibilidade de novas compreensões sobre arte e com a criação de novos pensares filosóficos. / This study analyzed the development of the capacity of philosophize in the deaf children art and in search for visual aesthetics practice in the process of constructing this capacity. For this, 10 deaf research subjects were interviewed (individually and collectively) in a municipal deaf school in Gravataí in Rio Grande do Sul state, were they were presented to some pictures from Da Vinci, Picasso and Baird (deaf artists). The goal was to stimulate these subjects to reflect, from aesthetics experiences, in a way of expressing their knowledge and of practicing view experience, bringing their hypothesis and understandings about the pictures and observing how these experiences could contribute to construct the capacity of philosophize in the deaf subject art. The main theoretical support was the Michael J. Parsons’ studies about the aesthetics levels of art understandings which were tabulated and systemized to better qualitative analyses of data. This methodological proposal has been adopted for us in this research. Marly Meira and Walter Kohan’s studies pass through our research as the basis of the philosophical creation and the thinking about the thinking. I would also emphasize the Duarte’s studies in sensitive education and the Pillar’s studies of education for view. We could verify a notable relation between aesthetics experiences and the dialogues with possibilities of new understandings about art and with the creation of new philosophical thinking.
