Description
Summary:We propose the use of contemporary art in training teachers. We want to bring the current devices of art to future generations of teachers, since in the art world they are dealing with social and cultural issues that will be decisive for future educators. From a regenerative and vital perspective, we propose a change of strategies in art education for teachers. We integrate topics that are usually not treated in Primary School environment, but are linked to the emotions, needs and daily life of students. Concepts such as «fear», or «body» allow us to investigate the problems, while continuing to review what the arts have put forward, as these are elements with a presence both in our lives and in the History of Art. We approach the concepts using the work of artists Carmen Calvo and Anna Ruiz Sospedra. The methodology is mixed, combining the Arts Based Educational Research with A/R/Tography. Among the results obtained we highlight the great acceptance by students of the innovative processes used.
