In the general framework of the Primary Education Curriculum establishes psycho-pedagogical principles on which all teaching action should be based, therefore we consider it of utmost importance that our activity in the field of applied research is convergent with them, finding in them the Necessary basis for modifying and reforming the previous "ways of doing" in the field of didactics. Some of the characteristic features of this new curricular approach in which we have focused our researches, given that they must be present in the framework of all the curricular areas among which is the area of ??Artistic Education, are the following: Constructivist conception of learning And teaching; Ludic activity as a fundamental principle in this educational level; The student and the student as active subjects of education, the perceptive and expressive fields.
