The research is divided into three stages: a bibliographical review of somatic education and research on BMC, based on the authors Bolsanello (2013, 2011), Strazzacapa (2012), Fernandes (2015, 2006) and Caetano (2012) and an approach to drawing in contemporary times, mainly based on the arguments of Kantrowitz (2012) and Zimmermann (2016). Next, in the field research phase, based on interviews with artist-teachers, discusses the perspectives of these professionals in the areas of dance and visual arts, trying to trace the approximations and distances in the creative processes, analyzing the documents of the process, according to Cecilia Salles (2007, 2008). Finally, a personal experience is presented, proposing a pedagogical and investigative practice that combines the processes of creation, and the intensities obtained in the bodily relationship according to the BMC and drawing in the art discipline for Elementary School II. The final considerations include an analysis of the differences and similarities observed in the interviewees' statements, as well as observations of the results of pedagogical practice and factors that are important to consider when proposing somatic practices in elementary school.processos de criação. desenho. ensino de arte.
