El dibujo y la pintura como medio artistico sobre la discriminacion escolar hacia los niños con tdah

Abstract

The thesis “Drawing and painting as an artistic medium on school discrimination towards children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)” has as its main objective to raise awareness of the discrimination and exclusion that these children suffer in the school environment. Through the artistic proposal of drawing and painting, it is intended to generate an awareness debate through a narrative that allows not only to raise awareness of this disorder and its causes but also to create reflection. In the school environment, children with ADHD reflect social inequalities, due to the lack of pedagogical adaptations, as well as interpersonal relationships, therefore, it seeks to raise awareness in the school community and the general public. Social exclusion can occur unconsciously since, due to the impulsiveness of these children, they can be rejected, affecting their self-esteem and emotional development. To reduce school discrimination, teacher training is important since this is a fundamental role in developing pedagogical strategies that adapt to the needs of students. Art, in a symbolic and subjective way, allows us to express thoughts and transmit messages in different ways depending on our experiences. Through painting, we can associate emotions and feelings that can be interpreted according to the viewer's perspective. Likewise, drawing, being one of the oldest forms of human communication and expression, helps us communicate without the need for words through shapes, lines and shadows. Drawing, like painting, is a universal language that can easily be interpreted regardless of language and culture. Art in general communicates and creates an impact on society, inspiring change and fostering empathy through visual perception. From a more specific point of view, art turns narrative into discourse, thus creating a powerful tool to transmit the message to promote social change. In artistic production through portraiture in drawing, as a reference and inspiring element, we have represented a child with ADHD, who in turn tells us through his drawings and paintings, the sad experience of school discrimination. Colors are associated with 7 emotions, thus uniquely communicating joy, sadness and anger, in the same way, strokes and textures represent the energy and sensitivity of the child. Likewise, chromaticity and harmony achieve a pleasant composition, giving life to the work, which in turn, together with the elements, communicate the lack of dysfunction, thus establishing a necessary relationship to reinforce the message. The importance of maintaining children's painting together with the combination of techniques with other materials, optimizes the creative process and guarantees conceptual clarity by adding dynamism in a tactile and visual way. It is necessary to promote awareness within the school environment, promoting empathy and respect, thus ensuring that all students have the same learning opportunities, therefore, teacher training plays a crucial role in this process since this allows the adaptation of pedagogical strategies that significantly improve the educational experience. Through inclusive education and coordinated efforts by teachers, families and society, individual differences can be valued, building an educational environment that promotes student success.
