Pensamento visual e inteligência

The teaching of Drawing in Brazilian schools has become less common in modern times. The rote memorizing of sequences or algorithms to solve geometrical problems has suppressed its cultural function. Drawing has moved away from the Primary and Intermediate levels. However, research on the functioning of brain allows us to evaluate the importance of graphic expression for its development. This allows to conclude that re-introduction of Drawing for schools must be made in new model capable of stimulating mental abilities, use manual dexterity, artistic sensitivity and graphic expression to help develop intuitive intelligence, but without forgetting rational, sequential, logical thinking. This work shows some exercises to advance this objective, as an initial stage to change the educational system in an effort to integrate Psychology, Pedagogy and Neurosciences with Drawing.
