Description

This research is based on interdisciplinarity, advocating the connection of knowledge at curricular, didactic, and pedagogical levels. The work presents an educational experience that integrates art and science, focusing on the creation of a "camera obscura". Four stages are detailed, from the creation of the apparatus to the investigation of projected images which also explore the inner possibilities of the camera. The results show disciplinary interactions between teachers and students, promoting the understanding of the phenomenon from artistic and scientific perspectives. The innovation of teaching photography from the interaction of science and art, provides benefits such as improved understanding of scientific knowledge, the development of observation through an aesthetic gaze that serve as a stimulus and motivation for students' learning. This approach promotes a holistic and interdisciplinary education, aligned with Sustainable Development Goal 4.
