description

[EN] This text deepns one of the conclusions drawn from an earlier research, which pointed out the need to claim the action of artists (among other specialists from several areas) in the school context. We know the advantages of community art works. We know all the possibilities of the collaborative projects of artists in different contexts and with different groups; Many countries have statedfunded programs for the participation of artists in Primary and Secondary schools. However, the development of projects dynamized by artists in the school context, are no more than isolated cases in our country. We are currently experiencing an increasing interest in the art world towards education because of its possibilities about mediation and emancipation. However, this interest is mostly focused on nondformal and informal environments. The hypothesis from which this study is proposed is that there is a traditional rejection by professionals of the visual arts towards the world of the school. This text focuses on this idea, which will be reviewed and contrasted through a brief case study.
