- Abstract
In this article, we present and discuss data from a research that proposed to investigate the construction of geometric thinking by black children from favelas in Early Childhood Education, in the favela of Maré, municipality of Rio de Janeiro, in a decolonial perspective, from the point of view of art.. More specifically, we develop and analyze activities that favor the construction of geometric thinking, using Tarsila do Amaral's Self-Portrait as its main resource. The method used was action research. We conclude that children are extremely capable of analyzing, naming, relating and differentiating geometric shapes with the elements found on Tarsila do Amaral's canvas and on objects that are part of everyday life, including the body itself. We also found that the teaching strategy based on pedagogical projects with an interdisciplinary bias makes it possible to validate a curriculum that permeates geometry and art, promoting enriching dialogues for the integral learning of children. These actions, in turn, provided didactic actions based on decoloniality and its consequences. The observation and analysis of the Self-Portrait led us to reflect on Afro culture and the construction of black identity in an affirmative way, favoring children's protagonism.
