Estudiar las posibilidades del autorretrato personal en la enseñanza secundaria.

This article presents an artistic experience in ten secondary schools of L'Horta Nord and Camp de Morvedre (València) on the processes of construction of personal identities through contemporary artistic attitudes, in this case, through video art. Using the Arts Based Educational Research (Arts Based Educational Research), the completion and subsequent interpretative analysis of all the videographic productions based on the traditional self-portrait have been completed, therefore, they have shaped very interesting results that lead us to reflect on the use and development of these new contemporary genres within the area of artistic education of educational centers. Within this investigation the creation of the new audiovisual narratives as artistic language in the school environment encompasses great relevance. We consider the use of video as a vehicle for the creation of images that at the same time works as an essential work tool for reflection, inquiry and analysis. It is also constituted as a procedure to question and criticize the systematic image. Keywords: audiovisual narrative, self-portrait, identity, artistic education, secondary education
