An art education project that arises from the need to promote effective integration and real accessibility of all to art and culture. It is about taking the Museum outside the museum and through the genre of artistic portraiture and through the application of a multisensory methodology to stimulate students through art. Based on a selection of portraits, we will work on visual, auditory, haptic, olfactory and gustatory stimulation, giving students the freedom to explore, discover, create and enjoy art.
The main objective of this project is to bring the human face in art closer to students through activities that contribute to the general cognitive development of students, focusing especially on the sensory aspect so that students can develop personal balance in relation to feelings and emotions. Furthermore, it seeks to teach them that the world is full of different people, each with a unique face, which makes each person special.
In [R] PORTRAIT], we will trace the history of portraits in art from its beginnings to the present day, through the observation and exploration of different works from the permanent collections of MACA.
In summary, this project is based on art history, specifically on the genre of portraiture, using works of art as tools to foster creative thinking in students through simple, fun and enriching activities. Furthermore, contact with artistic images will provide them with an approach to artistic and visual language, a linguistic perspective that will accompany them throughout their lives.
MACA is a living and dynamic museum, which is why the educational team has offered complementary activities since its inception to showcase the creative processes and references of contemporary art. Each year the museum renews its proposals for the different levels of formal education. These are projects related to the permanent collections and temporary exhibitions. The ultimate goal of the different proposals is to promote the construction of a critical perspective, learn to observe the works, enjoy the information that can be useful for understanding and appreciating each piece, and have the necessary keys so that each student can face contemporary art without inhibitions.Since its opening, the museum's educational team has committed to inclusive education. Throughout the year, multiple projects are developed for attention to diversity and social awareness, whose purpose has been and is to promote effective integration and real accessibility for all to art, culture, and the museum. To this end, the museum regularly organizes programs, projects, guided visits, and workshops for groups with physical, psychological, sensory, intellectual, or mental functional diversity, as well as for groups in situations of social vulnerability.We are fully convinced that attention to all audiences should be a priority, and in that way we plan and organize educational activities in order to serve all people.All projects are developed and directed by museum educator and mediator Ester García Guixot.
