Intermedia Arts and Arts-Based Research as Educational Research at San Isidro School in Guadalén, Spain
Abstract
This article reports on an Arts-Based Research
(ABR) experience and was held
in an early childhood education and primary
education school. A creation project
performed by artists served as the starting
point for the experiment which was carried
out at the school San Isidro, in the
small village of Guadalén in the province
of Jaén (Spain). The project in which the
research was implemented is an Erasmus
+ action, coordinated by the University
of Porto (Portugal) and in which we participate
as a partner of the University of
Jaén. In the article we justify the reason
that made us look into the results provided
by the contemporary artistic practice in
education. We continue with a theoretical
contextualization which explains how
we dealt with Arts-Based Research and
contemporary art practices at that school.
Then we describe the process of research
to explain how artists Juanma Valentín
and Lucía Loren carried out a project in
collaboration with the whole educational
community. We finish the article with
some concluding remarks obtained from
the results following the implementation
of the artistic experience at the school. The
most important conclusion to draw seems
to be that educational research is favored
by the artistic action when it comes from
contemporary processes.
