La autoexpresión en la producción artística educativa a través de la abstracción

Abstract

This article shows an educational artistic practice that encourages self-expression and aims to use sound, color, shape, body, and movement as resources to express ideas and feelings to enrich the possibilities of communication, with respect for the different forms of expression and self-confidence in own and collective productions. With a conceptual basis in abstraction, methodological planning was applied in three stages that are part of this creative process and that also have a foundation in the Educación Cultural y Artística (Cultural and Artistic Education) curriculum. The experience was developed with 26 students of Basic Education of Unidad Educativa “Daniel Reyes”, located at San Antonio de Ibarra, in January 2020. The initial and final conditions of knowledge, in terms of abstraction, were evaluated through a test applied to the total population of this study. The main results show an evolution, in 95% of students, concerning the appreciation of the relationship of concepts linked to the subject matter. This shows that, within the process with abstraction, students improve their self-expressive ability, thanks to the development of each creative stage addressed in the experience.
