1st International Conference Art, Illustration and Visual Culture in Infant and Primary Education: construction of identities 2010

  • 03-06 Nov 2010
  • Centro Cultural CajaGranada, Spain

Description

The Conference Art, Illustration and Visual Culture in Infant and Primary Education: construction of identities intends to analyse the theoretical and practical aspects of using Art in general and Contemporary Art in particular, Illustration and Literature (as an accompaniment of illustration) in Infant and Primary Education, highlighting their implications on the construction of the cultural identity of the children of contemporary society.

The basic idea is that Art products and illustrations act as intermediaries of cultural representations, as they are part of our visual culture. Visual culture and these representations help children become acquainted with the world and its realities, additionally to those they already experience themselves, and intervene in the development of their cultural identity. This is the reason they understand Art and its representations as a network of meanings to be interpreted, which makes them consider the different ways we can discuss, think of and react to them.

This Conference is aimed at creating situations to encourage professionals within the disciplines of the Arts, Illustration, Literature and Education exchange opinions and share experiences. The common subject to these meetings and exchanges is the construction of the identity of children in Infant and Primary Education.
