| Abstract: |
Artistic activities permeate our culture and our education, mainly
because they speak of our most precious and intimate feelings, hopes,
fears and sensations. Art constitutes, therefore, a universal language
that can communicate and inspire through time and space, addressed to
anybody with any kind of background. The power of inspiration of art
is a wonderful way to excite children's imagination while
communicating astronomical concepts. We present an example of
communicating astronomy through different kinds of art pieces to
school children. Also, children artworks are very useful to understand
many of their conceptions and misconceptions about astronomical
concepts. |
