“I feel alive and co live” project is the acting frame for working in the public education at a school in Madrid in which students coming from a foreign origin in their majority co live. Along three consecutive courses, “Arteterapia” has been introduced gradually with the agreement of the teachers’ department. The main aim has been to increase self esteem and improve social relationships by means of plastic arts, music and dancing, based on “Arteterapia” defining principles. In the first course of application, the project was implemented in first grades (children education). It was extended afterwards in the following teaching period to different levels of Primary Education in order to gather in the present course the whole student community. This is a project included within the institutional programme “To Co live is to Live” destined to help those centres that work towards the prevention of violence in the educative sphere. The project’s objectives are developed around artistic education, musical education and physical education with students of first grades and Primary Education. During the process, the teachers implied have received a series of training sessions in which craft classes of Arteterapia, Musicoterapia and Danzaterapia were included.

In the present paper is described the learning process of pupils of a popular workshop of painting. Discursive, behavioral and social aspects of learning are integrated. The need to analyze the concrete contexts of learning beyond the simple description of the activities inside the workshop is defended. The paper suggests the social origin of the discursive resources of the pupils and in this way “the artistic thought” is relabeled as “artistic speech”. The social contexts of activity out and inside the workshop are located in the apex of what is called an inverted triangle of the artistic education.

Nowadays, Internet and mass media development have caused a radical change in communication in Western World. Written language is giving way to visual language. Businessmen and publicists profit of the power of images to transmit messages, bombing us with all kinds of visual products and contributing to the creation of a passive and manageable receiver. We are living in a period of history characterized by individualism and no ideals. But, in contrast, with the development of the multimedia world, many users create their own personal spaces to express their opinions. Receivers also demand an active role in the process of communication. Creative citizenship and new artistic groups show us what we can achieve with commitment and participation. In this article we will analyse the necessity of a kind of educative action that demands a critical and reflective use of visual language. From artistic education we can propose creative activities that help us understand the world and change what we do not like from it.
