The great massification of the use of plastic is currently one of the most worrying environmental problems and it is therefore necessary to meditate and act. This article reflects on the omnipresence of plastic and proposes, from the perspective of art education and with students of the Faculty of Educational Sciences of the University of Granada, a printing strategy to interpret the saturation of the material and its constant presence in the environment and in our bodies. The main objective of the educational proposal is to use the aesthetic properties of plastic to give the material the ability to print and produce artistic images related to this problem. The images obtained are analyzed through instruments derived from arts-based methodologies, which allow us to understand the students' creative process from a visual and sensitive point of view, establishing a dialogue with other disciplines in order to generate a collaborative piece.
