Abstract

The use of the image in the classroom is one of the most important issues of recent decades in academic productions. Following this trend, we propose that this research aims to work with students to create narratives school through the use of pictorial documents of the Brazilian painter José Ferraz de Almeida Junior, produced in the late nineteenth century, as the source and provide the student with a debate that cut time which is circumscribed by the construction of a national identity at the end of the Second Empire and early Republic of Brazil, which are contemporary events to our painter. We seek to foster a debate on the concepts of temporality and the transitions that moment that changed the everyday aspects through the discourses of modernity and civilization that transformed the field in the city. To this end, we choose to be guided by qualitative data through focus group methodology, generating analyzes, both school and the narratives of the presentations and discussions in the school environment. The focus groups and analysis of this research were made by students of the late cycles of eighth grade third grade of elementary and high school basic education in a religious school run by Dominican Sisters of St. Catherine of Siena in the city of Paraná Faxinal inside.
