Abstract

This article presents the results of a pedagogical experience developed with twelve elementary and high school students from the city of Salamanca, Chile, which aimed to construct artistic montages that would account for the diversity of the fungi kingdom and show analogies based on the symbiotic relationship of mycorrhiza. The experience was developed under the health context derived from the COVID-19 pandemic and included the execution of a five-stage didactic sequence. The work with the students was carried out in online meetings and through a mobile classroom that was moved to their homes. Eight assemblies were completed and other three are awaiting completion after returning to face-to-face classes. The works and their analysis by the students were summarized in a testimonial video about the experience. This documentary was selected as an outstanding work in a national school meeting. The experience managed to reconnect a group of adolescents with the pleasure of learning in community, despite the isolation. Therefore, the present work postulates that the themes in the science-art interface are a fruitful resource to mitigate the emotional effects of the pandemic.
