Objectives and Contextualisation

Currently, the school as an institution is being transformed according to the social and cultural changes and emerge further discussions on the role of knowledge, identity construction and visuality in training children. In this context of change and once reached the skills related to the practice of art and artistic languages, students should be able to reflect and intervene as educators in accordance with the opportunities and challenges facing the school, from the perspective of innovation through art and visual culture.


This course provides students with the foundation for innovation in teaching visual arts and its application inthe classroom, understanding that changes in art education do not arise from an individual initiative but collaboration among multiple stakeholders in practice (children, educators, artists and cultural workers, mainly). Therefore, the subject is closely linked to the practicum fourth course, and be able to guide the student in planning and educational intervention in this context of change.

Ultimately, in this subject are raised as main objectives:


										
											. research artistic education projects that are currently being carried out nationally and internationally,
										
											
										
											. design interdisciplinary and inclusive projects to educate in the arts and through the arts, and
										
											
										
											. know institutions and professionals linked to artistic education.

THE SUBJECT WILL FOLLOW AN ACTIVE PEDAGOGY.

The sessions will be intercalated between:

- exhibitions of innovative projects of artistic education by the teacher,

- proposals for artistic practices for the workshop: individual and in groups,

- tutorials to share the research work being carried out, and final exhibitions in class,

- preparation of an ApS project (Learning and Service) among all students: it will consist of designing, conducting and evaluating artistic interventions for children at the Bellaterrra school.

- dialogic practices on topics related to "the didactic innovation of the visual arts", from texts, audiovisual documentaries or visits to exhibitions.

- visit exhibition. It will be decided during the course depending on the presentations being made. Travel will be individual and at the students' own expense. We will try to make it free of charge, otherwise, the students will be responsible for the expenses (maximum 7€).

ATTENDANCE AT THE SESSIONS IS IMPORTANT FOR THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE SUBJECT COMPETENCES.

*Due to the current "climate alarm", "lack of natural resources" and "economic imbalance" that we are experiencing on the planet, the teamof teachers of the Didactic Unit of Plastic Expression will promote artistic skills from an eco-social and eco-feminist point of view. Priority will be given to natural and recycled materials during the workshop sessions and individual and/or group artistic creations. With the use of natural materials and the elaboration of others from them, the aim is to generate environmental awareness among the students, which implies developing sensitivity and critical ability to perceive the natural and material environment that surrounds us, and to know and react to attitudes, situations and events that contribute to improve the care of the planet. 

If other materials are needed, teachers will recommend what is appropriate for the plannedactivities, which will have a sustainable cost and can be shared among the students. Mechanisms will be sought to ensure that everyone has them.  

Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.
