This microcredential is aimed at people in the field of formal education, such as primary school teachers or secondary school teachers, artists and also all those people who at different times in life are interested in artistic creation, and also in the knowledge of artistic and cultural heritage. People who want to approach environmental awareness, and lead a careful life with the nature of which we are part, through research and artistic creation. Following the theorist, teacher and activist, Yayo Herrero, it is a training that takes as its axis "educating for the sustainability of life".
Located in a natural space we will activate introspective drifts, actions of active recognition of the landscape, and during the process, we will approach theoretical knowledge to finally approach the formalization of an artist's book.
The microcredential is proposed as a laboratory of creation, being nature the artist's workshop. Thus, this course provides resources through art to work on some of the SDGs directly related to environmental awareness and the care of our planet.
The objective is the understanding of the fact that we are part of nature, of natural-cultural habitats, that this is not something distant, as it seems to be when we say go to nature or take care of nature, but that we are nature and we are living animal beings dependent on the balance of ecosystems and living plant beings and our survival depends on biodiversity.
We will open active, open, creative and collective learning processes (access to inclusive, equitable and quality education _ SDG 4) to bring participants closer to awareness of biodiversity through artistic methodologies, to become aware of the need to learn about coexistence (reduction of inequalities SDG 10, and gender equality SDG 5) to finally think together how, from education and from art, we can create practices that bring awareness and action closer, and thus be able to contribute to climate action (SDG 13). The practices and techniques proposed throughout the process bring participants closer to the use of sustainable raw materials, saving resources and reducing waste (SDG 15)
The proposal is structured in three axes, which correspond, in short, to the cycle of a seed: nourish, germinate and disseminate.
The first phase, called nurturing, is developed from a research-action framework.
The participants approach from their sensory memory, through their body, to be able to feel-think about nature. Through introspective dynamics, active observation of the environment and collective readings. This first process involves collecting a series of samples in the lived environment, and the creation of a sensory archive.
The second phase, called germinating, in which we already start from the fact that we are part of nature, through dynamics of the previous phase, involves, first of all, a theoretical approach based on readings and viewing oriented to work on the concepts: inhabitants, habitat, biosphere and to think about the relationships between nature and culture, essential for the development of a bio-diverse awareness. On the other hand, we will make an approach to an artist's book and some examples of it. It is about, based on this theoretical and research work by the participants, building or detecting micro-narratives about these concepts and conceiving art as a tool for critical thinking in relation to the themes raised, and through situated knowledge.
The third phase, called dissemination, starts from the sensory archive created in the first
phase, and, from the micro-narratives or definitions concluded in the second phase. It is a phase of creation, during which we acquire resources, to project critical thinking through art, to finally generate a practice focused on the creation of the artist's book related to the themes addressed.
The microcredential is framed in our reality based on the fact that, as a species, we inhabitplanet Earth building coexistence structures centered on
- Dynamics for knowing and exploring the natural environment.
- Educating through the arts: methodologies of exploration and action-art research.
- Recording and documentation of action-research processes.
- Theories of humanistic or scientific thought on nature as a creative nursery.
- Educating through the arts with an ecofeminist perspective.
- Art and nature: references, techniques and practices.
- The format of the artist's book.
- Creation of an artistic project.
EDUCATION, CULTURE AND ART.
Specialization in artistic education with an ecofeminist approach in schools and art
institutions, and in education through the arts with a multidisciplinary approach; teaching and
education in the links between art and nature.
