THE ADOLESCENT IDENTITIES IN THE VISUAL ARTS – SENSE APPROACHES

Abstract

The present text searchs to reveals the relations between the adolescent identities and the productions carried through for pupils in the lessons of Visual Arts, in 7ª grade of a municipal school of the city of Pelotas, RS. I argue relative questions to the identities, bringing examples of artists and works of art that evidence the post-modern condition, where the citizens do not have fixed, essential or permanent identities, consisting in a process of unfoldings and continuous transformations and cultural reorganizations. The research consisted of the questioning on the artistic creations of the adolescents in the forms of drawings, paintings and three-dimensional masks. I used referring personal narratives to the works of the pupils, looking for to disclose the motivations of the presented forms. The forms created for the young ones as possibilities of performance in its context send them the multiplicity to it of constructed identities the all moment. They constitute a multifaceted panel of sensible and individual youthful experiences.
