Art Thinking in the Childhood Education Stage: Doing learning and learning by doing

This article presents the methodological model of "Art Thinking", based on the use of art to combine its advantages with the spheres of the educational system. We focus on the infant stage due to the possibilities it presents taking into account its pedagogical principles. Within this stage we can work on the areas in a globalised way through the development of observation of the environment, the manipulation of objects for creative purposes and cooperative work through the development of projects. Through this methodology, the curricular contents can be worked on in an integrated way, achieving a competency-based education.
