Abstract

DOI: 10.12957/interag.2015.15853

This is a report on the experiment with the “building of creative frames”, conducted by the Toy Library of Pedro Ernesto University Hospital – HUPE team. The experiment was based on drawings by children who attend HUPE’s Toy library. Our goal was to start a creative interference in the hospital by using art as a way of reaching awareness and humanization, transforming the hospital environment in a warmer space. Data were collected and analysed and three “spaces of sensibility” were found: the use of recycled material, the comfort of the environment and the humanization. According to the results of this study, it appears that the creative frames have achieved the purpose of promoting ideal integration among the different areas of the hospital, turning the cold scenario into a pleasant and relaxed space, bringing awareness to people who work or seek care there and leading into the development of a nurturing and healthier environment.
