Confined childhoods: building the school from artistic education

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to maintain emotional communication between the educators
of the Infant School “Carmen Cervigón” in A Coruña and the families, during the lockdown stage
derived from Covid-19, for this, an interaction channel is created, that allows families to express fears,
expectations, learning experiences and life lessons so that they can be heard, symbolized in an artistic
way so they can serve as a starting point, in the school organization of the 2020-2021 academic year.
In order to achieve this, the obtained messages were analyzed through the qualitative panel technique
Sun Woong, (2008), adapted by De Keulenaer, (2008), to give voice to the joined experience shared by
a group of people, so that, from the recognition of the individual subjectivity a common story is born,
which offers a communal description of what was lived. This narration, once built, was represented
in a contemporary art installation, in order to signify the memory of what happened and generate a
communal symbol.
