Educación artística-visual en niños indígenas vulnerables. Una investigación cualitativa sobre su desarrollo artístico y curricular.

In this work, we seek to demonstrate how artistic-visual education can be a factor of development in the artistic and the curricular spheres of socio-economically vulnerable indigenous children. With an ethnographic methodology with a double study of cases corresponding to two second grade groups of elementary schools in two different contexts, it is explained how to stimulate and improve learning and student performance through educational-artistic interventions in the classroom in an urban and a rural indigenous school. The study is supported theoretically and practically by two relevant currents the artistic education, the expressive for peace and the education through art, to implement and evaluate diverse activities that impact in the two above-mentioned areas. It is concluded, through a comparison of the case studies in both contexts -the urban indigenous and the rural-, on the similarities and differences that refer the positive reaches of the artistic creation in the children of these localities, as well as of the limitations of the investigation.
