ART AND ARTISTIC EDUCATION. A reflection on creativity and the interdisciplinarity of artistic languages

Abstract

This article deals with, through an important bibliographic review, make a current reflection on the concepts of art and artistic education, delving into the axioms of creativity as a didactic engine and the interdisciplinarity of artistic languages in the educational context. Starting from the idea that the arts and therefore artistic education are knowledge, concepts such as education "of" art (or "in" art), education "for" art (for its production and understanding) are addressed, or the "artistic education" itself (using the result and execution as a transversal element of teaching-learning). On the other hand, the transversal dimension of artistic education itself is treated through concrete reflections that invite to approach the creative process not as an isolated element, but belonging to a set of items that enrich the teaching-learning process.
