Arte urbano como dispositivo didáctico para el área de educación cultural y artística en estudiantes de Educación General Básica Superior

Abstract

The objective of this research is to explore and analyze the concept and pedagogical possibilities of street art like didactic device in the subject of Cultural and Artistic Education (ECA). It arises from experiences like teacher at ECA, and also from the work of more than ten years like street artist. These experiences have led to knowing and analyzing different educational contexts, diagnosing some common problems in the ECA area; which, with the help of artistic work, have allowed street art projects to be transferred from the streets to the classrooms; making it possible to explore different applied didactic strategies such as graffiti, mural painting, and others. These techniques and experiences are explored and analyzed in correlation with the Foucault´s device concept; and they allow to establish the concept of street art as a didactic device in the ECA subject; exploring through a qualitative research methodology, the theoretical foundation for these artistic and pedagogical experiences, and quantitatively analyzing significant information regarding a better aesthetic and creative development in superior basic students.
