Matemática na arte: como se dá essa relação e qual sua contribuição no processo de ensino aprendizagem

Abstract

Mathematics and Art have always been present in our lives, since the most remote times, and their contributions to our development are undeniable. But, currently, mathematics has been disconnected from other disciplines, and for this reason it is seen as a challenge by elementary school students, who often give up on seeking mathemathematical knowledge, because they believe that Mathematics is not related to the world aroud you. It is no wonder that when we teachers present new content we are questioned about its applicability. In the present work - Mathematics in Art - we point out an inconventional, but productive alternative: the interaction between Art and Mathematics. Two apparently opposing fields of knowledge, reason, objectivity and accuracy on the one hand, and emotion, intuition and subjectivity on the other, however, as we will see, they complement each other in a fascinating way, one contributing to the other. And to prove that this connection has good results, we selected five great artists who used Mathematics as the basis of their works. The interdisciplinarity between these two disciplines was the means we used to give significance to Mathematics. The didactic strategy of explaining Mathematics with visual resources brings great advantages, among them is the awakening of interest and the fixation of the content. This project proves the effectiveness of interdisciplinarity, aiming to contribute to the teaching-learning process in a meaningful and pleasant way and demystifying mathematics that was once rigid, impossible and for few, is now applicable and accessible.
