Las artes plásticas y la literatura como estrategia para el fortalecimiento de las competencias comunicativas

Abstract

Art in education has been considered as an area of knowledge that is degraded into filler, award-winning material for students, or viewed as simple entertainment crafts or evidence for the arts teacher. However, since the twentieth century there are several researchers as Vygotsky, Arheim, Dewey, Eisner, among others, whose studies showed the importance of art in the process of teaching and learning of the students; and how art itself and education through this, develops the necessary skills to achieve the integrality of the human being. The plastic arts are considered an ideal strategy for the development of critical, creative, symbolic, divergent thinking and, from the perception of the senses, develop sensitivity, aesthetic appreciation and communication. The latter plays an essential role in the social development of every person and must meet the necessary skills to be effective. Likewise, literature is an art discipline that is part of the universe of imagination and creativity, which uses language to allow the game between the unreal, the magical and the possible stuff. It allows a dialogue between writer and reader processes leading to new communicative and favors the development of communication skills, for whom, as a reader, express to the feelings that he has generated reading.
