Discusses the iconography as a methodological tool for research and psychosocial intervention from Vygotsky’s concepts of imagination and creation. Describes the construction of an iconographic collection (drawings, photographs and videos), produced in research with children and young people from coastal communities. The method identified, cataloged, described and interpreted images produced in psychosocial research and interventions of the Research Group between 2007 and 2012. The inventory resulted in 72 drawings, 127 photos and 42 videos. The results indicate the use of method as self-images (drawings and photographs), actions recording (videos and photographs) and private collection (photographs). The content analysis based on the concepts of imagination and creation identified children’s drawings as expression of the reality of everyday life; the photographs demonstrate the spatial, historical and cultural appropriation of elements within the community and the protagonism of children and youth in the communitarian context; the videos adds motion and audio to the identified processes at the productions of drawings and photographs. In conclusion, the iconographic instruments potentiate research and interventions with children and youth; imagetic creation enables the objectification of imagination and the expression of subjectivities.
