Abstract

The foundation of the present work, Illustrations of traditionals tales unknown of the El Oro province, originates in function at the cultural interest what is expressed trough of the different possibilities and means of artistic production, and what for part of the fusion between literature and the illustration practice, an investigative process is proposed in the compilation of stories, the which are conceived through the graphic representation in one list of fourteen illustrations tales autochthonous of our province. Over time, the tradition of telling stories, tales, legends or anecdotes of costumbrista character typical of our identity towards the youngest loses its essence as such, given that new trends and thoughts influence the lack of interest in discovering small fragments of the culture and history forged by our grandparents long ago. Part of the essential idea in the investigation is established to the action of rescued, keep record, spread and encourage the attention and appreciation towards that part of the intangible culture what constitutes us, properly the various oral expressions what characterize our identity in the various Orense communities Throughout our lives we have been listening witnesses of various stories that at the time were shared by our elders, we know that within our province there are peasant. communities in the rural parishes of the different cantons and that therefore our cultural essence arises from these places, where technological development, the impact of new trends or lifestyles do not completely displace or have still displaced that costumbrista identity, and it is here where the tradition of telling stories or tales is born and maintained in a very passive way. of a fantastic or realistic character, events that arose in past times, and that over time became the autochthonous identity of these localities, which are an essential part and explain why many times popular denominations arise towards the different sectors, spaces, places, objects or people, that in a superficial way we could hear and know, but not knowing the main reason for being. On the other hand, illustration serves as a graphic resource which provides embellishment to the work, mainly serves to create full interest and simplify the content and assessment of the stories represented, as a method of learning towards the culture that makes us in our Province. We have a study that covers the history of illustration, from its origins to the present, its different methods of conception, its use and complementation in the improvement of society. Then contextualized historical content of our national environment is also evidenced, how this activity arises, when it is recognized and how it has been maintained until now. It can be argued that as a primary objective in the development of the artistic proposal, it is established to achieve the aesthetic effect that only an illustration can generate in the accompaniment of a narration, capturing the taste of the readers, whether they are children, young or old, art manages to achieve that committed regardless of age.
