Training for teachers
With a theoretical-practical approach, the This Is Art course provides the tools for a better understanding of Modern and Contemporary Art, analyzing its main themes, with a view to preparing a visit to the Museum, presenting content related to artistic movements and practices in class, or personal and/or cognitive development.
Programme
First session (3 hours)
Presentation of the context of the emergence of the avant-garde movements of the early 20th century, their opposition to classical models, and their guiding principles. The aim is to deconstruct poorly founded notions and prevailing preconceptions regarding artistic production from the 20th century onwards.
- Modern and Contemporary Art
- Paradigm Shift: Avant-Garde Context
- Ideas to (de)construct: “Is This Art?”
Second session (3 hours)
In the second session, using active methodologies, we propose effective dynamics for approaching these themes, stimulating curiosity, taste and a critical sense in contact with works of art.
- The relationship with the work of art: tools for a reading
- Two-dimensional vs. Tree-dimensional
- Figuration vs. Abstraction
- Organic vs. Geometric
- Object vs. Process
- Production vs. Appropriation
- Spectator: Observer vs. Participant the Artist vs. Spectator
- Open Artwork vs. Closed Artwork
