Abstract: Historical infiltrators is a teaching-learning experience carried out with students in the second cycle of secondary education, in which they reflect on the influence that stereotypes of human beauty have on the perception of others, of oneself and how the influence on interpersonal relationships, self-esteem and self-well-being they have. Art has been the host subject of the experience and, during its implementation, personal and digital skills of the students have been developed. The intervention has consisted of the reinterpretation of classic works of art by digital means, transforming the people represented through other different features of beauty.  The entire digital process has been complemented in parallel with personal defenses on group interventions and reflections on the stereotypes by which we are influenced and the repercussions they have on our lives.



Key words: stereotypes of beauty, human beauty, digital art, art history
