OVERVIEW

For artistic education, it is considered the learning of drawing and painting techniques and anything else to express ideas and emotions. The 5 senses allow us to come into contact with the world and through the learning of expressive ways to relate to it.

We do not want to talk about artistic education today, but about creativity.

Our job is to clarify how and how a child learns about the world through the images.

AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The activity of the Image Education laboratory focuses on two interconnected moments, one theoretical, the other practical. With the theoretical phase we intend to investigate the concept of image in its broadest sense, thus understanding Gestalt that go beyond the concept of visual art. With the practical phase, the ideas developed through manual experience are given substance with the production of creative material of a graphic, pictorial and plastic type. It is with this dimension of the image that we have to confront, that is to pay attention to the concept of 'image' separate from that of 'art', thus excluding judgments of both aesthetic and formal value. Our goal is not to train artists or art critics but to formulate logical bases for understanding the learning processes of children through the language of drawing. Then acquire a critical awareness that allows us to work with consciousness to design image education courses for both kindergarten and primary school.
