摘要：This article aimed to analyze the environmental perception through drawings made by students about the recycling theme. For that, it was necessary to carry out a qualitative research of the exploratory type, execution of theoretical class in the classroom, application of a game using the board with questions about recycling, and elaboration of aligned drawings of written descriptions produced by 21 students of the 8th grade of elementary school. of a state public school in the Amazon of Pará, in order to gather information about the students' perception of the environment and the recycling theme. The drawings were analyzed using two categories that were grouped as follows: elements of nature and as a way of life. Among the 42 (100%) elaborated drawings, 37 (88.09%) presented the category elements of nature. The trees appear in 35 (83.33%) drawings, while the Sun stands out in 29 (69.09%) drawings. In addition, animals such as butterflies, birds, fish and rabbits were present in 17 (40.47%) drawings. It was also possible to analyze that of the 42 drawings, the human being appears only in 13 (30.95%) drawings. The representations of students on the theme of recycling through drawings aligned with descriptions have many situations of disconnection between what students wrote and the drawing made by them, since there are few representations that inserted the human figure in their perceptions, emphasizing the most drawings to nature with greater intensity. Therefore, the environmental issue observed through the drawings is essential in the perception of the reality experienced by the students.
