We live in a moment in which the visual language is an important part of our everyday. We need tools and instruments in order to read, to generate and to decode the images around us. This project proposes a wider understanding and acknowledgment on visual language through contemporary art.
Description
The idea is to offer an exclusive programme of summer camps based on two important values: CONTEMPORARY ART through practice and leading by spanish artists and BILINGUALISM, Spanish and English language.
Methodology
– Learning the creative process of the artist from the contemporary artists themselves. Knowledge through a variety of activities, different ways of exploring, investigating, thinking and developing a work of art.
– The use of visual artistic elements such as the light, shadows, composition and colour. The use of mediums such as photography, video, theater, performance and installation.
-We will use the exhibition space as the objective for investigation; the scenography, communication and the curatorial elements. We will give meaning to the creations and think about the different ways to showcase the work.
– The cultural mediation for the workshops will translate the contemporary art praxis to the everyday.
– The use of Spanish language as added value to the learning.
Goals
-Exercise creativity to know our environment in a critical and personal way.
-Learn other forms of personal expression through contemporary art.
-Show different ways of telling our reality.
-Educate artistic sensibility
