SUMMARY Photography as art intervention in the causes and consequences of bullying Author: Dayanna Roman Tutor: Lcdo. Renato Villota García The present investigative work called "Photography as art and intervention in the causes and consequences of bullying", has as its central idea to show one of the consequences left by continuous bullying, suicide; idea that occurs in adolescents of average ages between 12 to 17 years. This social problem is generated mainly by family environments where intrafamily violence is manifested, by the deficit of communication between parents and children, by economic instability, by the little control that one has with the use of television and programs in which both physical and verbal aggressions are evidenced and due to the lack of attention from teachers in educational institutions. Therefore, this affects adolescents developing aggressive personalities. This type of violence also causes serious consequences in which the victims present a profile of low self-esteem, insomnia problems, insecurity, vulnerability, social isolation, depressive symptoms, refusal to attend school, poor school performance, and in most cases more severe cases ideas of suicide. Since the appearance of photography, this tool has been very important within society, which has allowed us to capture images representing reality, expressing feelings and emotions, also to reflect critical events causing a reflective analysis in the viewer. The development of the proposal will be evidenced by photography, currently in our city this artistic medium is very little used by contemporary artists in which various social themes are manifested. It should be noted that in its beginnings photography could be evidenced in Ecuador by artistic photographers addressing different socio-cultural themes. But today photography has become a very important means of expression for many plastic artists, since it has served as a resource to disseminate their artistic works on different digital platforms as an exhibition space, which due to the Covid Pandemic -19 artistic and cultural spaces have had to paralyze their activities. In this way, the exhibition of the artistic work will be disseminated on digital media: facebook and instagram. This degree work aims to raise awareness in the educational community, society in general, especially parents on this issue that goes unnoticed; reflecting through photography one of the serious consequences of constant bullying, in which elements have been used that symbolically represent the students, both the aggressor and the victim, these being a pair of shoes and a pencil. The idea of ​​the photographic proposal of a social case arises from the need that there are no artistic productions in our premises in which social themes are addressed that are not staged due to lack of interest from the photographic artists themselves in which they contribute reflection to the spectating public.
