The Artistic Initiation Program (PIÁ) serves children and adolescents aged 6 to 13 in facilities of the Municipal Secretariat of Culture and Creative Economy and in the CEUs (Unified Educational Centers) of the Municipal Secretariat of Education. In weekly meetings, artistic initiation is promoted for children through artistic and pedagogical activities involving audiovisual media, visual arts, circus, dance, literature, music, and theater, valuing the forms inherent to childhood and adolescence, stimulating play and the creative potential of each age.

The pedagogical practices developed in the PIÁ Program at the Amadeu Amaral Public Library were structured around the centrality of children's experience, linking playfulness to the investigation of the senses and ancestry. Focusing on children's visual perception, the creation of colored cellophane paper viewers allowed them to explore new chromatic layers of the world around them. The narrative dimension was deepened in a storytelling activity of the book Lolo Barnabé in a cave made by the pair of educators with kraft paper, prompting the children to reflect on the origin of everyday objects. Within this immersive space, the children experimented with charcoal drawing and were encouraged to create visual messages for the future. The literary repertoire was expanded with the reading of The Little Black Prince, which inspired the making of newspaper kites, uniting the re-signification of discarded materials with the symbolism of flying and ancestry. This integration culminated in a reinterpretation of Jack and the Beanstalk, in which repurposed kraft paper provided the basis for a monumental beanstalk. The children actively participated by painting natural leaves, which were incorporated into the collective artwork.
