RESUMO

This work proposes a means of attaining a synthesis between Geography and Art in the field of Geography teaching at the primary and intermediate levels. It is based on an experiment comprising of a group of activities focusing on the study of basic conceptual notions and perception of geographic landscape, using paintings by Brazilian artists as a reference. The experiment was mostly carried out in two distinct, well-defined stages with students studying in the 6th grade at different institutions. In the first stage, a series of activities was developed with three groups from three different schools. The groups’ teachers participated as observers and assistants during the completion of the activities. In the second stage, the activities were developed independently by seven teachers from five institutions that received the material and all the necessary instructions beforehand, as well as long distance assistance, when requested. The results of the two stages show that it is possible to combine Art and Geography in the study of geographic landscape in such a way as to increase students’ ability to perceive and understand geographic landscape, as well as artistic expression, and at the same time help to stir their enthusiasm and interest toward the processes of knowledge building.
