Arte de la madre tierra para articular la educación artística con la educación ambiental mediante procesos de siembra estética con los niños y las niñas de primero B del Colegio Palermo Sur JM

Abstract

This document presents the research carried out by a Graduate in Pedagogy for Children in the process of postgraduate training of the Master in Education around the questioning of the art of mother earth as an articulator between artistic education and environmental education through processes of aesthetic seeding with First grade children, in the District Educational Institution, Colegio Palermo Sur, south of the city of Bogotá, in the locality Rafael Uribe Uribe, UPZ 55 Diana Turbay. The development of each of the workshops in the intervention process was described in a field diary and in a balance of each one of the sessions, to analyze each one from a qualitative approach centered on the modality of educational ethnography, with the purpose of systematize the experience so that the results show clearly how the objectives initially defined were achieved, responding to the research question raised in the project planning. The results evidenced that the articulation of the two selected areas (Arts Education and Environmental Education) allow the emergence of processes that strengthen not only a critical view about how the processes in the classroom are developed, but also how care and affections are given to mother earth and what it provides. Indeed, in the process it was possible to verify how artistic education is an absolutely determinant space in the processes of school formation and how the neglect of environmental education affects the attitude towards the natural context. A non-traditional planting process (vertical and aesthetically enriched) was also explored, which helped to consolidate the environmental awareness of the participating children in their natural environment (near and in-time) through a process that also allowed the consolidation of a collaborative work that encouraged the active participation of all children, without discrimination of any kind.
