Four didactic strategies based on contemporary art: The educational process as a work of art through Artistic Teaching-Learning Methodologies

Abstract

Firstly, these four teaching strategies that we used are methods of investigation, both means of expression and visual languages. From these, a research proposal is constructed based on Arts- Based Teaching/ Learning Methods. Secondly, a new teaching method is produced based on artistic methodology in which the teaching strategies use art workshops as a means of teaching and learning. The Arts- Based Teaching/ Learning Methods are the basis of this investigation and with it we obtain concrete proposals along with teaching developments. We propose and suggest one to reflect about educational and artistic questions through the use of structural teaching concepts with the intention of giving way to new teaching strategies, new reflections, and new ways to teach using arts- based methodology. If our objective is to teach art without losing its essence, and we are looking to generate a conscious type of knowledge acquisition, perhaps it is necessary to adjust the pedagogic processes accurately to the artistic process in order to allow for a new educational experience. Therefore, in this article we propose a series of didactic strategies with respect to artistic education in which the educational experience is revised and made evident. These teaching strategies were used with different families in the community of Asturias under the Artistic Education project title, "Lainopia."
