Traditional Arts and ICT Art Tools for Teaching your Subjects and Promoting Life Skills

Description

Concept by Marta Mandolini

Drawing, painting, theater, and writing are disciplines that have been connected to human beings since ancient times; photography, video, and ICT tools are part of our daily life nowadays.

The language of art is universal, and it connects the left and the right sides of our brain, completing an experience that involves our senses, our emotions, our creative and critical thinking, and enhances the development of all life skills

During the course participants will learn how to integrate the use of traditional art techniques and ICT art tools into their teaching; the course is suitable for teaching all subjects and ages, and it will be held both in class and outdoors

In particular, participants will practice drawing and painting (doodling, traditional drawing, intuitive drawing, drawing and painting with specific App for iPad and Android), photography (traditional and creative photography and Stop motion technique), Theater (creative writing, performing, recording if applicable).

Guided imagery and short techniques for meditation will integrate and complete the creative experience. Participants will be also introduced to the use of Instagram, Pinterest, and YouTube to facilitate the social sharing of the proposed activities in the classroom. 

Participants will be involved in an active learning process, also focusing on personal experience and self-expression, combining cognitive and emotional elements to make the learning process easier and ensure long-lasting retention of the new knowledge.
