Abstract

The aim of this work is to show a work proposal that allows the development of creativity through the main theme: Portrait and Selfie. This study has been carried out in the subject of Art Education with pupils aged 11 to 12. Working on creativity and self-representation in pre-adolescence can be an interesting topic for their future development. Currently, there are not many quantitative studies on this subject. To this end, research was carried out in four groups, divided into two control subgroups and two experimental subgroups, in which the project was applied to check whether the proposed activities enhanced and developed the creativity of the subjects studied. The students had to complete a pre-test (TTCT) and a posttest (CREA). Comparing the results, it was found that there were non-significant improvements in the teams and unevenness in motivation towards the tests. This could be due to the small sample size, the low heterogeneity of the groups, the intervention implemented and the type of assessment carried out.
