Description
Summary:The article shows part of a research conducted in Espírito Santo State Art Museum (MAES), involving 98 children from four classes of Brazilian Middle School 5th grade in a private school located in Vitória city in Espírito Santo state. It selects events proposed by the museum Educational Action Proposal as investigative corpus, which guides the exhibition “My Tropical Country” and the children performed practices in the school. The article emphasizes the verbal-visual discourses analysis produced by children from one of these practices through discursive semiotics.  The verbal-visual discourse analyses evidence the importance children give to the relationship between museum and school. It concludes that the museum, school, and Art relations can be woven since an early age in order to offer and contribute to Art education which goes beyond techniques knowledges, and invests in a sensitive education.
