Art Ephemeral Activity

«We engaged in an Ephemeral Art Activity that we all participated in, which we named the «Garden of Memory» – a tribute to those we have lost due to the COVID-19 pandemic. During this activity, all participants had the opportunity to draw a tree or a bush in memory of someone who had succumbed to COVID-19. As we sketched, we played music to create a serene atmosphere.

It was a Moving experience to see all the people we had all known who lost their lives due to the virus. To conclude, we dedicated a moment to honor their memory, after which we respectfully disposed of the paper, symbolizing their peaceful journey.

This Ephemeral Art creation provided us with a emotional way to pay tribute to our lost loved relatives and friends.

It was a wonderful time spent together during which we had the opportunity to share and showcase all the project’s outcomes. On one hand, we accumulated valuable knowledge over the course of two years about the benefits of Ephemeral Art as a methodological tool for teaching in school education. All of this knowledge and the tools are included in the ‘METHODOLOGICAL GUIDE for Teaching Ephemeral Art in Schools‘ which we could share with all the assistants.

On the other hand, we had the opportunity to view all the projects created by the students, all of them displaying remarkable beauty and emotional depth. Most notably, it was incredibly moving to hear the students share their experiences during the development and creation of these projects and make an Ephemeral Art creation all together.

In the following months, we will close the project with the last details and we will upload to the website all the materials and the activities carried out. Also, there will be some training courses about the Ephemeral Art as a tool for the development of the 8 key competences.

We will keep you informed of all the latest news!! 

STAY TUNED!!

Ephemeral Art School Eventes!!

After the teacher training activity in Maribor, each teacher carried out a 4-month ephemeral art project in his or her school. Through this project, students worked on the 8 key competencies for lifelong learning.

Each teacher had the freedom to develop a different and own ephemeral art project, keeping a series of conditions common to all: all the projects had to be based on the development of the 8 key competences and the theme of the artistic creations had to be the expression of feelings, thoughts or emotions caused by the COVID-19, at a personal, social, family, educational level…

During the 4 months in which the teachers were implementing their projects, the students were able to learn the concept of ephemeral art, the different expressions that exist, different techniques, the materials they could use… This with the objective of making their own creation, in a group way, to present it in the School Event that took place after 4 months, in competition format.

During the school event, all the participants were able to present their projects, both to the rest of their classmates and to their friends and families who were also able to attend. A technical committee was established to evaluate the students’ artistic creations and choose the winner. The winner would have the opportunity to attend in person the final multiplying event in Madrid!

All events were very well attended. The School Event in Spain (CEIP 6 de Diciembre) was attended by the Mayor of Torrejón de Ardoz, Mr. Ignacio Vázquez Casavilla and the Councilman of Welfare, Education and Immigration, Mr. Rubén Martínez Martín. Both of them were part of the Technical Committee that evaluated the projects of the students.

Next steps: in the next months we will have the fith transnational meeting in Ankara in order to evaluate de school events and to organize the Multiplier Event in March. We can’t wait to celebrate the multiplier event where we will be able to see all the winning projects and share all our experiences with the attendees!!

Here you have some photos of the School Events and the projects developed by the students. We hope you enjoy them!!

Visit to Primary School Leona Štuklja Maribor!!

TRAINING ACTIVITY IN MARIBOR, SLOVENIA 11th March 2022

During the Training Activity carried out in Maribor, we had the opportunity to visit the Primary School Leona Štukja Maribor. In this visit, we could see how an educational center works in Slovenia. By this way, we could learn a lot of new and different ways of teaching/learning and different methodological aspects that the teachers will be able to use or implement in their educational centers and also share this knowledge with their partners in their own country. It was a very nice experience in which we could share a lot of different opinions and points of view and also opened our minds about how to organize an educational center.

During the visit, we could see a lot of different parts of the school. We started visiting the teachers’ room in which the director of the center welcomed us and explained some general aspects of the center’s functioning. After that, we visited the gym where we could see the large number of resources dedicated to such an important aspect of education. We also played a little bit of basketball!

Then we visited the classes, the dining room, the library… All of us were very Impressed by how beautiful the school was. The walls of the corridors were full of decorations and artwork made by the students! There was also a portrait of Leon Štukelj, a famous Slovenian gymnast that gives the name to the school. Here you can see some pictures of all these beautiful places.

At the end, we went to a classroom and there an art teacher talked to us about some interesting aspects of her class: the different subjects that she works with the students, the contents and the activities that she does in the classes, the organization of the year… We could learn a lot of interesting things thanks to this presentation. After that, EPEKA (the host organization) and Polona (one of the teachers of the school that was taking part in the training activity) gave us a surprise!! They had organized an activity in which we could make Slovenian traditional artwork!!

It was a very good time for all of us. Here you can see the results!!

In brief, we all had a very good time visiting the school and learnt a lot of interesting and useful things, sharing ideas, opinions, and knowledge between all the members of the group. We would like to thank EPEKA for the organization of the visit and obviously to Primary School Leona Štuklja for opening their doors and allowing us to have such a great time and learn so many things. 

In the next months the teacher will implement in their schools the ArtEphemeral education projects in the School Activity Event and we will have the 4th Transnational Video Conference Meeting in which we are going to talk about the next steps of the project so…

ARTWORK FOR TEACHERS!!

 TRAINING ACTIVITY IN MARIBOR, SLOVENIA 12th March 2022

This activity was developed on the 3rd day of the Training Activity (C1) carried out in Maribor. This activity had two principal objectives: 

  • Develop the skills of the teachers related to ephemeral art.
  • Show an example of how to work different contents and the 8 key competences through ephemeral art as a methodological tool.

In this activity, the teachers (working in groups) had to make a scale recreation of the ancient Alexandria lighthouse. Starting from a text, they had to create a model of the lighthouse. The text was a poetic text that wanted to imitate the diary of a traveller arriving in Alexandria and seeing the lighthouse for the first time. With this text as the starting point, they had to design a 3D model of Alexandria lighthouse in TinkerCad. 

When they finished the model, they had to make a real scale recreation of the Alexandria lighthouse. They had to use ephemeral materials for this artwork provided by the organization such as cardboard, paper, wooden sticks, plasticine, coloured paper, etc. In addition, they had to add a technological element (drawbridge, sliding doors, pulleys…) and a real light in the top of the building!

When they finished their works, they presented their creation to a jury explaining the process of creation and the difficulties they’d found and the jury decided what creation is the tallest, the most beautiful, the most creative and the most technological. 

This is an example of how to work on the contents of different subjects (such as History, Mathematics, Language and Literature, Technology, Art, Informatic…) and also the 8 key competences: Linguistic communication (they had to communicate their ideas with their partners), Mathematical competence and basic competences in science and technology (they had to calculate measures, forces, use different materials…), Digital competence (they had to use TinkerCad to do the model), Learning to learn (explaining their difficulties during the process), Social and civic competences (working in groups), Sense of initiative and entrepreneurship (they had to solve problems, find solutions), Cultural awareness and expressions (they increased the value they attributed to the 7 wonders of the ancient world).

This was the text in which they had to based their artworks:

“Walking through unknown lands I came across an imposing building. It was slender, very tall, almost touching the sky and a light shone from the top.

It was protected by sturdy walls that prevented enemies from entering and the only access gate was guarded by guards.

The building was on an island, accessible only by crossing a long bridge that connected it to the mainland.

I was surprised by the technology of that bridge: it was able to disappear to leave the island incommunicado whenever the inhabitants wanted, making the only way to access it by sea.

There were boats in the water, they seemed to be guarding the island from the dreaded pirates as well. 

I had the feeling that there was something important there that they wanted to protect. Something sacred. Very valuable”

The results were very nice!! Here you can see the creations of the different work teams and the presentation of the groups!
