Abstract
This work proposes the incorporation of educational innovation into traditional artistic techniques. Specifically, a research seminar on artistic casting using conventional microwaves was carried out. The objective of the research was to analyze the feasibility of this implementation and evaluate its learning impact. Questionnaires were given to the participants before and after the experience to evaluate the knowledge obtained. Among other aspects, the questionnaires evaluated how innovation procedures can improve university art classes and vocational training oriented to art practices, and in particular artistic casting, which often presents problems in its delivery due to the technical complexities required to carry it out. Once the research was completed, it was concluded that the dissemination and knowledge of these traditional techniques can be expanded to more spaces, thanks to new learning methodologies. In addition, the innovation carried out improved the motivation of students to learn conventional artistic techniques.
