Metodologías radicales para la comprensión de las artes visuales en primaria y secundaria en contextos museísticos en Madrid capital

Abstract

The lines of research of MUPAI (Pedagogical Museum of Children's Art)made, in 2003, the need to develop theoretically the methodology used in their activities aimed at children and adolescents in order to facilitate understanding of the visual arts. As a basis for making this theoretical formulation, a review is conducted by educational trends applied to arts education and educational activities developed in the museums of the city of Madrid in search of models. Contact with the museums of Madrid serves to be aware of the lack of methodologies in this area, and the necessity of applying the called radical methodologies for break with an education that mimics the forms of school into work without thinking about the differences between the museums and this context. Proceeding from this reality and the fieldwork carried out during three years of design, implementation and evaluation of educational activities carried out by the MUPAI, both within their facilities as in other places such as La Casa Encendida, Fundación ICO or Fundacion Telefonica, is formulated theoretically Method MUPAI specifying their characteristics responding to questions why teach?, what to teach?, how to teach?, where teach?, who teach?, and who teaches?. Finally, we propose a series of recommendations for the implementation of educational activities aimed at, in addition to teaching art, doing so in an effective and consistent with the context in which it is carried out, giving examples of applying this methodology in other areas such as hospital within Project Curarte.
