Keywords: Contemporary art, Brazilian art, Art and university

Abstract

This article reacts to the theme of the Scientiarum Historia XI and presents the reflections that led to the rescue, the resumption and the "return to top" of a parallel production by the students of the Bachelor of Arts at the Universidade Federal Fluminense who had been abandoning drawing at the entrance of the university in the face of the great appeal of the media considered as contemporary, leaving aside a production previous to the faculty for considering it less legitimate. Thus, demonstrating the reasons for a hierarchy of the contemporary artist's production, the process of resuming and dignifying individual production is presented here.
