La formación ciudadana y la educación en artes plásticas, un reto para investigar. estudio de caso con los estudiantes de grado once y los docentes de artes plásticas en el Colegio Veintiún Ángeles, Localidad de Suba, Bogotá, Colombia

Abstract

The arts have settled as a field of study and source of knowledge, so they have earned the space in school curricula and education laws of countries. However, this road has not been easy and still is not enough to be recognized as equally important to science as mathematics, physics and chemistry. This work belongs to the investigations that are willing to strengthen the role of arts education as an appropriate source of learning and interpreting the world; under this premise, specifically it delves into the role that it can play regarding citizenship education. With this in mind, it makes a case study with an academic community composed of eleventh grade students, directors and teachers of plastic arts in “Colegio Veintiún Ángeles I.E.D.” to know how the artistic education is perceived and in what sense is considered it can affect the construction of individuals with social skills such as solidarity and respect for difference. From the results, this investigation concludes with the approach of guidelines for the support of teaching with a view to drawing art education for the formation of citizens.
