A ARTE COMO DISPOSITIVO À RECRIAÇÃO DE SI: UMA PRÁTICA EM PSICOLOGIA SOCIAL BASEADA NO FAZER ARTÍSTICO

The current work focus on art as an instrument in the practice of social psychology,through the report of experience of an art-therapy group. The proposal of the group, developed in a communitarian center in Florianpolis SC, Brazil, consisted in the realization of several artistic activities drawing, painting, collage, clay modeling, writing as a resource to inter(personal) development. The interventions made and the discussion shown here are well-grounded in the references of historic-cultural psychology and specially in the ideas of Vigotski and Bakhtin concerning art. The work brought positive results to the subjects, which found in the creative activity new ways of objectivism and subjectivism, developing an aesthetic look and (re)creating in the artistic action other images of themselves and of life, transforming themselves in this process.
