RPEA Artistic Education as a Form of Communication in a Pandemic Time: Children's Representations about COVID-19

Abstract

This article is the result of research project that aimed to know and understand the perceptions of pre-school children about Covid-19. To this end, a project was implemented that aimed, through artistic education, to give children a voice. This work privileged a qualitative investigation that involves a naturalistic and interpretive approach, where the participant observation and the visual narratives of the children were used as data collection. The results showed that
children are aware and knowledgeable about the pandemic and its consequences. Of note is the interest of children in becoming transforming agents in the community in which they live, presenting innovative solutions contributing to help solve Covid-19.
