This paper presents the process of designing and executing a graphic-visual composition for the Câmara Cascudo Museum at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte [MCC/UFRN]. The project was developed within the scope of the Graphic Reproduction Techniques course from the Bachelor Degree of Design at UFRN, from an university extension project, in order to meet the museum's need to create ways to value its own space and its surroundings, believing that the action should contribute to the requalification of the extensive neutral area of the walls that delimits the Institution. Furthermore, this action was designed and developed to value both the community and the MCC/UFRN. TheMCC/UFRN is the largest and most relevant museum in the state; however, it lacks specialized groups, such as teams formed by professors and students from the Bachelor of Design at UFRN, which can put forth university extension actions to supply the needs for specialized staff in the area. Thus, this paper aims to reflect on a formative experience in undergraduate education, through the exploration of an artisanal technique of graphic reproduction (stencil technique). The proposed method for the development of the intervention project was divided into the following steps: information gathering, planning, design, and execution. At the end of the project, it was observed the improvement of the neighborhood and an appreciation of the urban space. These aspects can contribute to strengthening the identity and territorial belonging for the local community, the academic community as well as a better appreciation of MCC/UFRN. Furthermore, it is expected that this paper contributes to studies of the same order and to the development of similar projects.
