Creación de una obra visual simbólica del imaginario infantil cuencano con lenguaje contemporáneo basada en la transformación de creaciones escolares

Abstract

Cultural and Artistic Education, as it happens in Ecuadorian schools, does not sufficiently take advantage of the child's capacity as bearer and generator of a rich and certainly transcendent cultural and symbolic universe. Faced with this situation, Pensamiento Inefable produces a symbolic visual work, as a synchronic cut of the cuencan children's imaginary of our time, through a contemporary artistic proposal based on the transformation of original school creations. The installation generates a symbol of the infantile imaginary by means of rigid and solid structures, wrapped in layers of collage (infantile drawings) that represent the imaginary of the child, with the diverse inclinations that can go from the six to the eight years of age. A harmonious and friendly atmosphere is generated, with balloons that represent diverse worlds, overflowing with imagination, all illuminated with a dim light that favors the observation of different paths, in the midst of an apparent creative chaos. The artist is a co-author in this collective production, where he has had to develop his skills as a mediator, as well as a didactic experience, a reference for teachers in the area. If in the child a stimulating playful space is fostered, in the adult spectator an aesthetic experience of pleasant nostalgia is promoted, which strengthens his or her confidence in the childlike potential for the artistic projection of inner worlds representative of our historical moment.
