Modes of sharing creative outputs in a school during confinement

ABSTRACT

The pandemic caused by the new coronavirus Covd-19 has suddenly and unpredictably changed the running of schools and their communities’ dynamics. In response to an emergency state marked by long periods of confinement, of children and young people at home, often of indefinite duration and sometimes intermittent, logistic and pedagogic adaptations were required. In a school for early childhood and basic education, where the arts strongly influence the educational project, both at the conceptual and methodological level and at the level of interdisciplinary practice itself, the challenge went on in several fronts the ways of regular contact with children and young people for teaching interaction, the creation of projects that develop skills related to knowledge, expression and communication and, finally, the moments of sharing, in which the work carried out becomes public and is reflected and debated collectively. This article describes the adaptation of visual and performing arts to remote online learning, as well as results obtained by the creative application of computer and image technologies, between March 2020 and March 2021. For an educational project of proximity and creativity, how could we defend the fundamental value of arts in education through digital mediation? What processes, artistic objects and sharing models resulted from this reality? © 2021 Copyright held by the owner/author(s). Publication rights licensed to ACM.
