Through the experience of an intervention research conducted with second-grade elementary school children in a school in the city of Presidente Prudente/SP, the aim was to analyze the development of imagination and creativity through drawing, based on the theoretical-philosophical and methodological assumptions of Historical-Cultural Psychology. Through the images elaborated in the form of graphic expression of themselves, based on interventions grounded in an intentionally planned and executed pedagogical practice, children present reproductions/representations of situations and conditioning factors of their lives and social relations, offering teachers possibilities for accessing their subjectivities and understanding the meanings and significance attached to the process of development of imagination and, consequently, creativity, which are fundamental elements for a qualitative analysis of the relationship between teaching-learning-development within the educational social practice. Therefore, we envision the need to build a transformative pedagogical praxis, grounded in critical perspectives of human development, such as that presented in the use of drawing in a sense that engenders qualitatively developing conditions so that children can express their thoughts and feelings and, moreover, develop their imagination and creativity in school, which is rooted in the formation of consciousness in a humanizing perspective.
