WEEK APRIL 20th

 This week we have been working on the second practice that I mentioned last week. We’ve already updated the teacher on our progress, and these are the activities we have planned to address the development of emotion management. Our hypothesis is that by choosing different colors and tapping into their creativity during the first two tasks, students will be able to authentically color a shared project.

For Activity 1, "Color your emotions," which runs from 9:30 to 10:30, the task requires students to choose a color that represents how they are feeling at that moment without knowing what the next step is. We will then give them one piece of a drawing that has been cut into five sections, and they will paint their specific piece using their chosen color; we are structuring it this way so that the drawing itself doesn't influence their color selection. Following this, from 11:00 to 12:00, we have Activity 2, "Sculpting the Internal Weather," where students will use clay or recycled materials to create a 3D artifact representing an emotion they find hard to handle, such as frustration or anxiety. Finally, from 12:15 to 13:15, we will conclude with Activity 3, "The Collective Mural of Empathy," where students will work in small groups to combine their individual works or ideas into a large mural that proposes a solution or a way to support a peer experiencing these difficult emotions.

WEEK MARCH 2nd

This week, we explored an experimental process using a combination of unconventional materials: hand sanitizer, turmeric, and baking soda. This exercise was a great way to see how specific chemical interactions can be used to build a visual composition. The process involved a simple but deliberate sequence. First, we drew our chosen shapes using a mixture of water and baking soda, which stayed invisible on the paper as it dried. Then, we made a second mixture of turmeric and hand sanitizer. When we applied this over the first layer, it reacted to create various shades of orange, effectively revealing the underlying drawing. For my project, I chose to draw the sun from Rapunzel , and the resulting contrast really brought the symbol to life. It was an interesting way to see how non traditional mediums can be manipulated to create a "reveal" effect, showing once again how the choice of materials completely changes the execution and final look of an artwork.

 This week, we shifted our focus to the art of relief and intaglio processes, experimenting with printing blocks and milk cartons. This exercise was a great way to see how the physical manipulation of a surface completely dictates the final visual outcome of a piece. The first part of our activity involved working with a printing block. This process required a bit of a reductive mindset; we sketched our designs onto the block and then used a cutter to manually remove any areas we didn't want to appear in the final drawing. In this method, the lines that remain on the surface are what actually catch the ink. After rolling a layer of black ink over the block and pressing it onto our paper, the carved away sections stayed white, leaving behind a bold, high contrast impression of the original design. Our second exercise offered an interesting technical counterpoint using flattened milk cartons. Instead of carving away the background, we used a punch to incise shapes directly into the s...

PRACTICE 2

In this workshop project, we completed a three-part assignment centered on art education, practical research, and classroom management . First, we analyzed the Primary Education Curriculum of the Región de Murcia to understand the specific objectives, key competencies, and assessment criteria for artistic education across different cycles . Following this curriculum review, we answered several theoretical questions about artistic creation in primary schools . Through these answers, we explained that art does not have a single correct solution but instead encourages divergent thinking, and we noted that children need to develop a sense of time and sequence in their work rather than just focusing on isolated moments . We also discussed how art connects seamlessly to other subjects and why teachers should value each child's individual journey of self-discovery rather than demanding photographic realism . Furthermore, we provided examples of sensory questions to guide stuck students, e...
