Abstract:
We often believe that art only serves to create art. That's why we usually put our creative side aside from a very young age.

Representing something different from reality does not mean that it is not represented correctly. Blue does not always need to be blue, for example. We do all this unconsciously to fit into society. And in schools, something similar happens. Mathematics matters for life. English matters for life too, and What about the Arts? Art is usually for the end of the week, because it is not essential, or at least we believe so.

If we take into account that we are changing the way we educate in our schools, in which project based learning is used almost every day, creativity is necessary. Therefore, I propose a project, in which emphasizing emotional, artistic and creative learning, I encourage my students to know how to express different content through art. This is important because we must remember that it is not so important to know the lesson but to know how to do it creatively.

Here I propose to use audiovisual media, specifically Stop motion technique, to work on projects and develop our creativity. With it, students, without the needing words, are able to express different things, different feelings, and above all, have the opportunity to learn by being creative.

This technique, which is a very easy technique to use in classrooms due to its low cost and attractiveness, helps students to capture their attention and enjoy their learning, leading to motivation in the classroom.

In this way, the knowledge learned is projected through audiovisual media, without needing words.Thus, the content that reaches them is closer, more striking.

We do not realize how important it is to know how to develop our creativity, and we need to start by showing our students different ways of learning the same content or expressing the same information. Everything starts being creative.
