A influência da licenciatura em artes visuais no aprimoramento da concepção artística de artistas parintinenses

Abstract

This study analyzes how the Undergraduate Program in Visual Arts at the Federal University of Amazonas (UFAM) contributed to the artistic development of three Parintins artists: Aldo Cabral, Evanil Maciel, and Glebson Oliveira (Pito). The research examines transformations in technique, style, and conceptual approaches before, during, and after their academic training. A descriptive qualitative methodology was adopted, based on a case study, using open-ended interview questions and analysis of selected artworks. The works were examined considering techniques, materials, aesthetic transformations, and conceptual evolution. The results indicate that academic training significantly contributed to broadening the artists’ visual repertoire, improving technical mastery, strengthening conceptual understanding, and consolidating individual artistic identities. The university experience proved essential in refining their creative processes and promoting a more conscious and grounded artistic practice.
