AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

One of the most powerful self-presentation means that man has / created is the image.

Creativity is a faculty of being alive, part of your DNA, is an integral part of each of us, there is no living being that is not 'creative', otherwise it would be a 'dying'.
Art is something different, we can define it as the most complete expression of human history because it collects the rational aspects of thought, processes them through emotions and communicates them to a spiritual plan.
There is no art without creativity, but there can be no creativity without art.

"The child plays, draws or paints in a symbolic language of a millennial antiquity, in which even the adult, consciously or unconsciously, through all times in all civilizations, has given expression to its entirety." (Dora M Kalff, The game of sand,)

Drawing attention to the concept of 'image' dissociated from 'art' allows us to work with greater awareness in the field of education in compulsory schools, although often the production methods derived from the two concepts are similar.
