Abstract

Pedro II School, which is located in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and was founded in 1837, is a traditional institution in education and is also recognized for its excellence. Said School is responsible for the formation of citizens who are capable of acting in the job market. Since the foundation of the School, the Drawing subject is mandatory, therefore this article brings to the discussion the importance of the teaching of Drawing in Basic Education by acquiring graphic skills and how such skills are processed in logical and spatial deductive thinking. The aforesaid knowledge, which was acquired by the former student Mr. Caio Pereira, corroborated in his professional environment considering its apprehension and allowed its application in the following exhibition: “Rolé pelo Rio Hackeado” (in English “A walk around Hacked Rio”) with the Motion graffiti entitled “Preto Velho” (in English “Old Black Man”) in the Museum of Tomorrow in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The author, besides the geometrographic knowledge in the development of the work, has appropriated himself of technological software languages using parametric concepts by having the shapes of the polygons, polyhedra and conic curves in his projection, thus reaching its goal of causing restlessness in the visitor of the museum by the magic of the scene.
