Muito amor ao plástico

Abstract

In this memorial, reflections on the artistic project and the creative process of the research called Muito amor ao Plástico - MAAP will be presented. This research consists of a series of works developed between 2019 and 2023, in which plastic was used as a materiality to explore creative practices in the field of art, investigating its potential in sensorial and relational experiments, as well as the movements provoked in each of the works produced. Throughout the research, it was possible to verify the artistic-pedagogical power of the MAAP, especially when invited to propose practical activities for children and adults. In this sense, playfulness emerged as a guiding element of the activities developed, enhancing the participants' learning and engagement. As a final result, an Object Book is presented that documents the trajectory of the creations carried out over the years of the research. This book can be used as a support in artistic-pedagogical practices, enabling the dissemination of knowledge and lessons learned during the process.
