Actividades artísticas como estrategia para potenciar la motricidad fina en niños de educación inicial.

Abstract

Artistic activities generate transferable benefits that go beyond the development of art, favoring the stimulation of non-artistic skills such as the development of fine motor skills. This article is a documentary and literature research, of non- experimental descriptive design, transversal, without experimentation. This work aims to communicate through a scientific article the results obtained from the literature review on the use of artistic activities as a strategy to enhance the development of fine motor skills in children in early childhood education. The terms used for the search were motor development, fine motor skills, motor skills, art, art in early education, artistic expressions, and a total of 68 files were found. The files which met the criteria of pertinence, relevance, reliability, and validity were reviewed, selecting 19 files from the databases of E-spacio, Dspace, Dialnet, Realyc, Google books, and university repositories. The results show that it is possible to apply activities of different types of artistic manifestations, thus favoring the development of fine motor skills. As a contribution to the educational community, a didactic proposal of artistic activities directed to children from 3 to 5 years old is elaborated to stimulate the development of fine motor skills.
