Arte visual: Creatividad y consumo de marihuana en proceso de formación universitaria.

Abstract

This research aims to explore the process of creativity in six visual arts students from the University of Pamplona who consume marijuana for the analysis of their artistic performance. Methodologically, it is based on qualitative principles of transversal cutting and exploratory descriptive scope. In addition, the application of two semi-structured interviews, participating observation, focus group and description of works allowed the triangulation of information for the analysis of the three categories studied: creative process, artistic performance and marijuana use; where external and internal factors involved in creativity were found; being the main, the willingness to want to make a play. Likewise, it is evident that marijuana use in a perfect dose (two to three plons), allows greater generation and rambling of ideas; for its part, according to the description of the works carried out by three expert teachers it is inferred that under consumption there is greater artistic performance related to the technical mastery and finishing of artistic details. Therefore, it is concluded that marijuana use acts as a facilitator in the creative process due to the effect caused by this substance on the brain: cognitive and physical relaxation. Similarly, it is suggested that further research is made for the same categories and population for the exhausted inquiry of them. Finally, fulfilling the last objective is designed a card that contains cognitive, mnemonic and relaxation techniques to stimulate creativity and other internal processes involved in the creation process
