Course contents
“Learning to see is, in all of the arts, the longest to learn”
De Goncourt
The course aims to provide a deep understanding of the image didactics and of the different methodologies and theoretical models related to art, culture and education. We will investigate how images and media meet contexts with significant educational values such as children publishing, school and museums. During the lessons different practices and methodologies will be analyzed.
The course will also approach the issue of the children's drawings evolution from a pedagogical, aesthetic and didactic point of view.
Finally, the course will focus on the art workshop considered in its hermeneutical feature as a place of reception and production of knowledge and as a space dedicated to the development of the personal identities. This part of the course provides practical exercises on the “education to watch”.
We will train together to discover, even with an ironic mood, what could be behind familiar objects that we often see only the surface, almost without recording their presence. The workshop will be built as an "aesthetic gym" to train our gaze and to stimulate an education to see.
The practical exercises proposed during the course are an occasion to acquire critical skills to look at everyday life in an aesthetic sense and enhance openness of visual culture in general.
