The teaching of photography in the intellectual development of children

Abstract

Aesthetic Education, by developing the intellectual ability of appreciation, forms aesthetic-artistic judgments in the personality that allows the individual to express their perception about the universe that surrounds them, through different manifestations, in which photography plays an important role. The present work exhibits the result of a research aimed at improving, through the learning of photography, the ability of children to externalize: conflicts, aspirations and desires with a form of non-verbal communication and to integrate photographic techniques and composition rules in a creative way that point to an aesthetic as well as a coherent discourse in photographic art. Due to its characteristics, photography allows a rapid and lasting apprehension in the student, contributing to their professional orientation, while appropriating a creative means of expression that will facilitate research in a wide range of science.
