El Mural Urbano Como Estrategia Pedagógica para la Promoción de las Tradiciones Culturales en el Municipio de Aguazul, Departamento de Casanare

Abstract

The research-creation project "The urban mural as a pedagogical strategy for the promotion of cultural traditions in the municipality of Aguazul, Casanare department," led by Omar Alberto Rincón González, addresses the issue of the loss of cultural identity in the new generations of the municipality of Aguazul, Casanare department. With a focus on community participation, especially from students; therefore, this project seeks to minimize the issue by making an artistic and pedagogical contribution through the creation of plastic artwork using the techniques of folkloric muralism and magical realism in public spaces. The artwork, titled "Fauna, Flora, Cultural Traditions, and Legends of Aguazul," reflects the cultural richness of the municipality, highlighting elements such as fauna, flora, legends, and traditions. The background of the piece also depicts the transition from dawn to nightfall in the Aguazuleño plains. In the development of the sketches, the active participation of the community is emphasized, especially a group of students who researched the community and their families about the main traditions and legends of Aguazul. Through an artistic workshop, they then translated these findings onto paper using colored pencils, thus contributing to the creation of the plastic artwork.
