In addition to these supports, I was able to expand my pedagogical knowledge in art by participating in the continuing education meetings offered by the Division of Professional Development from the Education Department (DDPM / SEMED) in partnership with the said Art Polo. The project “Batukinalata” arose from the proposal of using cans of empty paints found in the school, in order to constroy musical instruments of percussion, meeting the music contents of the proposed art classes from the school curriculum. Thus, the project had the purpose of providing a musical and aesthetic experience in construction of these musical instruments, especially of percussion that were used in the musicalization processes. As partial results, it was possible to perceive these students musical abilities development, the interest in deepening this constructed knowledge as well as the perception of new possibilities of the creative field from the use of alternative materials.
