• Abstract:

  This article presents the experience report of the Teaching Project “EUROPEAN VANGUARDS: a dive into modernist artistic-literary work”, developed at the IFPI-campus Parnaíba. The project aimed to encourage the reading, production and interpretation of literary texts and artistic works and was developed by the campus' Portuguese Language and Art teachers, seeking to unite these curricular units in interdisciplinary work. The beginning of the 20th century expanded the technical achievements and industrial development of the previous century, but was also marked by several political conflicts: the First World War, the Russian Revolution, the formation of fascism in Italy and Nazism in Germany. In the first half of the century, the Second World War took place, in society, the differences between the richest and poorest classes became more pronounced. It was in this historical context that the art of the first half of the 20th century, modern art, developed. Bearing in mind the need to understand the movement that revolutionized Brazilian culture, it was necessary to analyze the European avant-gardes, they represent an artistic concept that innovated not only through boldness, but also through complexity that, paradoxically, took on an original simplicity. 3rd year students were able to understand this artistic movement through the eyes of Literature and Art. With contextualized and interdisciplinary classes, they produced their own texts and artistic works based on European avant-garde. Finally, there was an exhibition in the school courtyard, where students were able to display their work and talk to other high school students about what they had learned.
